Baby Sitting at Disney Resort

[lolakat]

Hi there,

I will be headed to Disney in Sept with my 2yo and my DH as well as my mom. We would like to go out for a couple of nice dinners after DD is in bed. I've read that in room baby sitters are available through Disney. Has anyone used them? What was your experience? How do you go about booking it and how far in advance can you book? Will will be staying at the new villas at the Contemporary if that helps?

Thanks for any info.

I don't have any experience yet, but have read a few posts on the topic. Most seem to recommend Kids Nite Out, which is who Disney refers you to. I called them directly to reserve a sitter. There's a 4 hr. minimum and it's $16/hr. I called Disney and the CM told me I didn't need to make reservations, but that was incorrect info and you most certainly need to.

We loved Kids Night Out.
Our kids were 2 and 3 and never had a babysitter at home.
They had a great time. We even asked her to come back another night...
I wish we had babysitters half as good here at home!

We used Kids Nite Out. They were excellent. We had two sitters since at the time our twins were infants (they require a sitter for each kid who can't walk yet). One sitter was a first year law student and the other was her best friend, a senior in college. Talk about over-qualified! I think it was the best money we spent on the entire trip, as it let us take our older child to MVMCP and have a wonderful time.

Don't forget to leave snacks or provide a meal, especially if you're going to be gone a while.

Good luck.

Thank you for the advice. Can you tell me how to get in touch with Kids Night Out? And how far in advance do you need to make reservations? I'm gonig in Sept. Do you think it would be Ok to wait until the park hours come out or would that be to late.
