What if my child is too young for one of the clubs? Or what if I'd prefer to have a babysitter come to our room?
There are several services if you'd rather have the babysitter come to your room. Reservations for these services are necessary. Rates and other special requirements vary by service.

Guest Comments on Fairy Godmothers:
Karen Kelley (1/03) comments: We just returned from a trip to WDW last Friday. We were there for my husband to run the Marathon and planned our family vacation around that. We have a 5 year old and a 6 month old and we used the Fairy Godmothers one evening. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, especially if you have children too young to attend the kids clubs. Marguerite was our Fairy Godmother and she took the kids to the playground, food court, and game room (we stayed at the Caribbean Beach). My husband and I were very comfortable with leaving the children with her and they seemed to enjoy the time with her as well.
Chris Frederick (2/02): I just wanted to tell you what a great experience we had with Fairy Godmothers babysitting service on our trip this month. We had a lovely woman named Vera Kennedy watch our 4 year old and 20 month old daughters. She took them to the playground and then did a craft project with them. They were fast asleep by the time we got back.
Michele W writes: We have used the Fairy Godmothers and love them. Well, actually, we have only used one sitter and love her so much that we always ask for her. She is the only babysitter my kids have ever had that wasn't family.
Leanne H. says: I also agree Fairy Godmothers is excellent!! We've used the same sitter on many, many vacations. She's awesome and my son, who's going to be 4, remembers her every trip.

Guest Comments on Kid's Nite Out:
Kris (3/04): I just wanted to say that we used the "Kid's Nite Out" childcare service in our room at the Polynesian and our kids really enjoyed it. The caregiver was very nice and enthusiastic. She brought lots of activities for the kids to do and they had a lot of fun.
I would highly recommend them.
