We are staying in AKV Kidani villas- 2 bedroom for our 1st family trip as DVC members. It will be me, DH, DD (7), DD (5), my mom and stepdad. (and the 1st trip to the parks for my girls!!) We are flying, but my mom is driving so we can load her car down :) What do we need to bring? We have the dining plan and reservations every night. Is there a washer/dryer? Also my mom will get there 1st, if I check in online, can she pick up the packet and keys? Also, is the photopass + worth it? Sorry for all the questions, just making sure i don't miss anything! Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!!
 
All 1,2, and 3 bedroom DVC villas will have in room laundry facilities. If you have the dining plan, you aren't going to need to bring much for food. We find the dining plan costs too much for us, and just don't get the value out of it.

Bring coffee and filters, laundry detergent and pack light, because you can wash and wear clothes over. We find we get buy with a carry on each. No need to bring dishwasher stuff or any other cleaning things other than Laundry soap.

As long as your mom is listed on the reservation, yes, she can pick up the check in packet. In fact, if you check in on line, this will be very easy.

I can't answer the photopass+ questions.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but my mom is coming with us this trip. She isn't a member, but is listed on the reservation. I did the online check in. The plan was for her and the kids to take ME and DBF and I would pick up the rental car. I was worried they would be hanging around the lobby waiting for us, but if she is on the reservation, she can pick everything up and go to the room if it is ready?

Yes.
 

Wow! Did not know that, Thanks! OP, yes, we think photopass + is worth it and have already bought it for our trip. I think it helped me get more family photos as we had already paid for it, so wanted to get our money's worth. I have ended up with over 700 pictures. The photographers are great.
