To be close to a themed pool, if you have standard, request the Paddock area and close to the Paddock pool. If preferred, request Springs and near the High Rock Spring pool. If you actually get either of those requests, you will also be not far from the bus stop.
Note that being near a bus stop may or may not be important come Dec, but currently there are no trams at the parking lots for the parks, and thus you have to walk from you where you park to the park, which can be a very long walk and extremely long at MK. There has yet been no announcement as to when tram service will resume and taking the bus is currently the better option.
As to whether it will be warm enough to go in the pool. it just depends sometimes you can have a stretch of high 70s and even low 80s, others a stretch of low 60s or just high 50s. Often in a week, you get some warm days and a couple of cool ones.
