1. 1 Station at the front desk. A long station with a few people behind it.
2. Yes the front desk is operated 24 hours a day.
3. There is an activities staff.
4. No equipment rental.
5. There is a gate that you need a key to get into. There was always a guard there but, we didn't come in any later than about midnight.
6. There is a concierge who mostly gives info on parks etc... I'm sure they have all kinds of local info as there are pamphlets everywhere near them.
7. They do have some sort of theme park discount.
8. I don't remember pool lifeguards but, there was a guard at the top of the big slide to watch the kids.
9. There is a cost to get to the themeparks. I don't remember how much only that it would cost far to much to make it worth while. They don't have a shuttle or anything.

We'll be there in late Sept or Oct and it's fantastic then. Not crowded, good weather, warm pools. Perfect.

Good luck.

two employees at all times

help
3. Their is a full activities staff of over 10 employees who ensure that we
have activities scheduled all throughout the day with a pirate themed

5. The resort's guard gate is manned 24/7 as well as two guards who are on
constant patrol of the property at all times.
6. We do have a full service concierge who can assist you with everything
from theme park passes to dinner reservations and much more...
7. Unfortunatley their are no discounts on theme park tickets unless you are
visiting the resort on a preview package whcih would require a 90 min
timeshare presentation
8. The pool does not have a life guard on duty at all times however the
activities staff is fully trained in aquatic safety and would be able to assist
in any situation

My wife and I still make fun of that.
