Welcome Kelly! Congrats on getting your trip booked, that's so much fun!
You can visit your friends at the AKL and explore the resort all you want to, but you are not allowed to use the pool unless you are staying there. That is the policy at all the WDW resorts, there are signs posted at each pool stating the pool is only for the use of the XXX resort guests. The exceptions to this are the 3 AllStar resorts (you can use any of the pools at the AS if you are staying at any AS), and POR/POFQ, I guess because they are sister resorts as well.

You aren't supposed to, but we have had friends visit us at AKL and swim with us.
Welcome to the boards, Kelly!
I would be very careful about using the AKL pool if you're not a guest there
