Pool slide closure at AKV Kidani Jan 9

[lvdis]

I got a letter in the mail yesterday from Disney saying that the slide at AKV Kidani will be closed starting January 9, 2012 through early February for refurbishment. Wouldn't you know, we arrive on the 8th! Oh well, that time of year, I wasn't holding out too much hope for using the pool much anyway. The kids might want to, but I'll be more interested in the hot tubs if anything!

OH NO! We are going to be there from Jan. 13-22. We don't have a letter yet but I guess it is in the mail. My kids will be disappointed but again I wasn't sure we would get swimming in anyway!

We arrive for our first AKV stay 1/15! We haven't received a letter either regarding the closure.

Seriously??? We arrive the 8th and the kids were looking forward to the slide
We go this time every year and the weather has never stopped us from swimming every day

We got the letter also. We will be there January 11th - 18th.

But the letter said we could use the pool slide at the Jambo House pool so all is not lost.

yup - and last time I was there (at Jambo) that pool was closed for the whole of the trip. fortunately, that was the January it snowed in Central Florida.

Oh no...why didn't I pick Jambo?

Have you tried to change?

How do they refurb a slide?

Since it's still on the new side, I'd think all it should need is some cleaning and resealing. A few days tops. Depends on the amount of work to do.

Have you tried to change?

Decided to stay if it is just the slide. Called Member Services and they say the pool is open...no slide and my youngest really wants the splash pad. Promised the oldest I would take her to jambo for some slides.
