Child care ?

[judben821]

My dh and I are running the half marathon in January. I wasn't sure whether I was actually going to be able to do it, so although I was registered, I didn't finalize all my plans. About a week ago, I finally decided that, yes, I'm going to give it a try - I feel like I have a good shot of finishing.

Well, I contacted Kids Nite Out to arrange for an in-room sitter during the race on Sat morning for our 2 girls. Just got a call today from them that we are 4th on the wait list. There is still a chance that openings will occur, but now I have to come up with a Plan B.

Does anyone know of any other babysitting service that will accomodate the early morning hours during the half marathon? Or any other ideas?

Thanks!

I've never used the them before, but there is also Fairy Godmother's (not sure of hours) and All About Kids (who's website says they're 24/7).

Thanks! I actually called All About Kids and they had availability. So I now have a sitter - exhale!

I was going to suggest Kids Nite Out, too. We've used them multiple times and they are great! I'm bringing the grandparents this time so we didn't need them.
Glad it worked out for you!

Last time I was in WDW, I was discussing the problem of childcare during Disney races with a cast member. I said it would be nice to have one of the kid's clubs open. He said he would pass the idea along and suggested that I also e-mailed it. I'm okay for marathon weekend, but I'm still working out details for the princess half. If anyone else would want to pass the suggestion along, maybe they'll do it in the future.
