Can you use childcare services at a different resort?

If we stay on property but not somewhere that has one of the children's activity centers, can we use the centers from other resorts, or are they only for guests of the resorts? I know that in-room babysitting is offered, but I prefer the centers, if available.

Yup - you can use any of the childcare centers.

DD7 lives the centers, we book 2 each trip. I would book the one closest to where you will end the night so you are not rushing. We have booked even when not on site.

Can anyone give me an idea of the cost? I couldn't find rates anywhere.

Rates are $15 an hour with 2 hour minimum. We usually let her stay 3 hours, 2 hours if we are only going to dinner. They give a DVC and AP discount. The kids get to select dinner and are provided a snack. We used to drop her off at 5 but there are rarely more than a few kids at that time. Our DD prefers when there are more kids so we now drop off around 6:30/7.

Simba's at AK is smaller and kind of reminds me of a preschool class room. The Sandcastle Club has a big dress up area and 2 huge video screens. The Neverland Club at the Poly is now Club Disney. It is based on the Little Holden Books theme. You make reservations by calling WDW DINE. Kids must be potty trained and no outside food. Each place offers different meal options, CD even offers sushi. My DD like pretty plain food so we usually feed her first and still order in case she is still hungry. She usually has pictures and a craft or two when she leaves.
