Camp Dolphin Question

[bethnburke]

We are planning on eating at Il Mulino at the Swan on our last night and leaving DD4 and DS6 at Camp Dolphin. Has anyone done this? Do the kids like it? I know you get 2 hours free if you eat at one of the Swan/Dolphin restaurants but what is the charge if they stay longer than 2 hours? Do they prorate the time or do you pay for an extra hour even if they stay only a few minutes over? I dont mind paying extra but if I will need to pay for the whole hour they might as well get to play during that time.

Thanks for your help

You should double check that Il Mulino participates in the Camp Dolphin program as not all Swan/Dolphin restaurants do. The ones I know who do for a fact are Shula's and Blue Zoo at the Dolphin while Fresh and Kimonos do not.

That being said ... my DD loves Camp Dolphin. It is her favorite "camp" in all of WDW. She especially enjoys the arcade area where the kids get free tokens to play the games. If you go over your 2 hours I assume that you will be charged. We never went over our alloted time because we always wanted to take my DD out in time to watch IllumiNations. In addition, the kids have to be at the camp pretty early (6:00 - 6:30) to be able to eat dinner, so your dinner will also be an early one and quicker than one at the "prime time" dinner rush. I would also suggest that you plan on tipping the workers there as you are getting their services for free.
