Leaving in the morning for kidani village. One last question. Am I allowed to bring a small soft cooler out to the pool with water and juice?
Have a great time!

Thanks for the info Any idea if there is a minimum age or height requirement? Our son is 5. Thanks!
Just booked this past weekend a Memorial Day week trip to AKL. I've done no advance planning and I have some really idiotic, first-timer questions.
1. If we're staying at AKL, can we also use the pool at Kidani? I had seen on the infamous pool-hopping FAQ that it is allowed, but want to verify before we make a faux-pas. If we can get to Kidani, do we walk or is there a bus we should take?
2. Is there enough to do at the resort for a day and a half there (basically a full day on arrival and a half-day on departure) with a 3 and 6-year old? Does anyone have info on the schedule of activities or an activity we should not miss?
3. Drive or take the bus to/from MK? To/from Epcot? How frequently do the buses come?
4. Room service reviews/opinions/recommendations for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
5. We have had dinner at Boma and lunch at Sanaa in the past, but never at Jiko. We're planning a date night there without the kids, but would you recommend going there with the kids (on another night)? My kids are fairly good eaters and have been in other signatures/long meals in the past (e.g., Cali Grill, Narcoossee's), but I've heard Jiko is kind of quiet, and more of an "adult" Signature.
6. And finally, (sorry for the longest question post on this thread). I saw on this site:
http://www.aklresort.com/content/room-service that you can order room service at the Maji Pool bar. Are they still doing this? Can you order room service at the Uzima pool?
TIA
just found out we are at kidani, not jambo, for our upcoming 1 bedroom stay, and im kinda disappointed.
what do you guys think? is kidani ok?

and the juice from Boma is available.
First Congratulations on your trip, and I love AKV
1. Yes, you can use the pool, you can walk or take the shuttle bus there.
2. yes, there is plenty to do.
3. can't answer, we always take the buses, b/c we don't have a car.
4. can't answer, we never order room service
5. wonderful for date night and I think the kids would be fine there, yes, it is quite.
6. have no idea?
1. Yes. I normally walk, but, took the bus when visiting while pregnant. There are more buses from Kidani to Jambo, so, I might recommend walking over and taking the bus back.
2. Absolutely! There are activity sheets floating around, check when you check in for the current schedule.
3. I usually recommend the buses unless you are planning multiple stops in the day that would require bus transfers.
4. Haven't ordered room service, but, it looked good when I read the menu.
5. I like Jiko and I particularly like that they offer real food to kids.
6. You could order room service at Maji when I was there in Dec. But, I think at Uzima they assume if you want food you'll go to Mara.
When we stayed at Jambo we had a room service breakfast. It was pretty good, and the juice from Boma is available, which made me super happy. We ordered the night before and gave a half hour time frame for morning delivery. They sent it up at the beginning of the time frame and called beforehand so we knew they were coming.
Also, I read on the room service menu that you could order off the Jiko menu as room service. So if you don't want to go to the actual restaurant, that's always a good option.
hello! Can you tell me if they sell coffee cream in the store? I'd love to have real cream for my coffee in the morning. What other food for the room do they sell? I apologize if this was already mentioned previously. I'm so excited for our first trip to AKL. Thanks!
Hi everyone.
I am finally at Kidani--- where the internet connection is soooooooo much cheaper than on the Dream. We didn't buy any of the internet packages on the Dream. In fact, I would normally be on my phone using 3G, but DH needs to submit some important work before Hoop Dee Doo. Therefore, my Dis friends get to mooch off his internet time.
I have been trying to check in on the board since I was at the port this morning. But a "nice" customs agent at the end of the line told me to put the phone away/don't get caught using it, or else it would be confiscated.
Needless to say I promptly clipped the phone to my hip. Boy did I feel like a grade schooler threatened with detention if I broke the rules.
Anyways, I will be on the computer tonight to begin my trippie. Gotta go Hoop it up first, though.
Does anyone know if you can order food at the Kidani pool and have it count as your counters service meal if you're on the dining plan? Also, what kind of food do they have if they have any?
Thanks
