Number 9 is really FINE! Welcome to AKL LITE - the 'unofficial' FAQ Thread

[dgbg100106]

We're doing a one night stay-cation at AKL next month (April 11th-12th) and I had read that there's a kids water play area but I can't really find any clear pictures of it. What exactly is it? Is it like a water play ground for kids? We're planning on spending the entire day at the hotel so I'm looking into what the kids can do and I know they will love the zero entry pool (esp my disabled daughter) but I don't see them spending all day there.

Just bought AKV DVC points and after the 2 month resale process, we finally booked a stay at AKV (our 1st stay at AKL ever). We have a 2BR-standard view at Kadani booked from December 20-25, 2013. It will be a big family Xmas trip (15 of us in total)...both SILs are also booked at Kadani and MIL/FIL are booked at OKW, but hope to move over to AKV at the 7 month window (May 20). Eldest SIL has stayed at AKV twice before and they LOVE it there...it will be a 1st for the rest of us. We can't wait!!!!

Has anyone seen the April movies by the pool list yet by any chance? Trying to find out the Friday movie at Jambo. Thanks!

oooohhhh....I'd love to obsess over this too! Only 9 more sleeps 'til AKV! But I'm at Kidani. Hoping they have a single list for activities somewhere? Would LOVE it if someone would post the activities??!!!???

 

[gabeoak]

Hello.
I ordered my advance photopass+ . Sounds like there is a location to exchange my voucher when I arrive at AKL. Does anyone know how late/early the location would be open? Our flight gets in at 9pm so I'm hoping to have it ready for the morning in the parks.

If you're staying onsite, you should be able to get it when you check in. If not - I believe any of the photo shops can help you.....

It's available at the Zawadi Marketplace (the gift shop in Jambo House), but I'm not sure if it would still be open by the time you get to AKL from the airport. I'd probably just wait until you enter the park the next morning.
