Safety Vests at Resorts?

I know you can get safety vests for a child at the water parks...but do they have them at the resorts? I am debating on whether to pack mine for my DS. He needs one for swimming and we want to take advantage of the pool at Riverside when we go.
BUT, the vest will take up alot of room in the suitcase and if I can get away with not bringing it, things would be much easier. Thanks for any advice you can give!

The last time I was there in December 2007, there were kids' vests available. It looks like you get them from the arcade (according to several websites). They probably take a credit card impression or other ID as they would for a wheelchair.

I know that they have them at the mods and deluxes (hopefully, someone will come to respond about the values.)

They are kept at different locations at the different resorts -- at PORiverside, they are down by the marina; at others they are in bins near the pool. Just ask a lifeguard.

Call ahead to your resort, and ask. Specifically, I do mean, get the number for the front desk, and call them directly; if anyone should know, it'd be the folks actually working there, right? ^_^

I know Pop had them, they were located at the pool. Even though they have them I still take Grandkids vest and arm swimmies for them. I like them to have the ones that fit them and they are use to swimming in.

They had them at SAB at the Beach Club but the day we tried to get one they were all out of them. Another mom we met said you had to get there pretty early to get one because people tend to keep them all day.

I know AS Sports had them the last time outside at the pool. They were bright orange ones and no credit card was needed.
