I still haven't found a place for Friday night but just got reservations this morning for AKL for Saturday-Monday nights. Pretty decent price with the AP considering everything I was finding was way out of my price range. If I have to I can stay off site on Friday night I just wanted to make sure I was on site before the full.
We were going to stay at POP but I found a 2 bed 2 bath condo for $82 a night about 1 mile from front gates. Staying on property is fun but I like driving to start anyway so this is perfect. The name of the condo is Oakwater Resort. I will report after on the accommodations.
We have rented a house in Terra Verde. Heated pool...7 bedrooms....kids in their own bedrooms....priceless! Actually pretty cheap, less than 120 per night per family so cheaper than other options and BIG.
