Child care information needed

[Angela Bricker]

Hi everyone! We're going to Disney World! Even better, my DH and I are celebrating our 18th anniversary there on July 5. We have PSs at Artist Point, can hardly wait, and suddenly I realize - I haven't arranged for a sitter! So the perennial question: Fairy Godmothers or Kids Nite Out? And - has anyone out there ever used All About Kids? They seem to be the stepsister in the trio, mentioned here and there but I can't seem to find much info. Seems like I'm hearing more complaints about FG lately, but maybe that's just because people like to complain?

Anyway - advice appreciated, we leave next week (Yikes! Gotta Pack!).

Thanks!

We have used fairy Godmother several times and have been pleased. I don't know anything about the others............

There is also a KinderKare right near disney. it's for disney employees mainly, but if they have openings, guests can take their children there, and the best part.... it's only like $45 for all day!!!! that's like 8 hours!!! I suggest taking your child there and getting a day to enjoy the magic together with just you two!!!!

We used Fairy Godmothers for our two boys, ironically so that DH and I could have a nice dinner (alone) at Artist Point! I was hesitant to leave the kids (with a stranger) at first, but DH insisted that we get a break from them and I'm soooo glad he did! We had a great sitter and the boys really liked her. My youngest was so tired from his day at the park, he fell asleep 30 minutes after we left. My older son (4) stayed up and played with the toys she brought and watched Disney movies until he fell asleep. Our sitter said he conked out before 8 pm. We only had a Fairy Godmother one night, and DH and I spent the remainder of our Disney evenings in our room, watching tv, (BORING!!) while the kids slept. They were so exhausted from the parks they couldn't make it past 9 pm. I'm glad we were able to get out at least once!!!
