Childcare options in DL?

[Mintycake]

We visited WDW last year and DD had a blast at the kids clubs. I understand there used to be a kids club at GC but it's closed now. Are there any options for kids club/activities? Would just be great to have a little adult time on the trip! Even something like the pirate cruise at WDW would be great. Thanks!

Hilarious. We don’t have relatives that would travel with us or be able to care for my daughter.

We've hired in-room sitters a few times. Other than a friend or relative, that's basically your only choice. Even Pinocchio's workshop is defunct.

I've never used a service like this but I remember seeing this website (she also has Facebook) but may be a great option if you want someone in the park! I'm almost considering it because my son is only 2 so we will have to ride solo on any "big kid" rides!

Sorry. We usually take one of our sibs. It's been a lifesaver.

Disney has a list of private contractors that you can hire for babysitting. We hired one for 4 hours last time we were there and it was the best date me and hubby have ever had. I was worried my daughter would be upset but she loved it (5 yrs old). I really wish I had our sitter' s name but she was like a fairy godmother. She even had our 1 yr old down for the night when we got back.

These Rates seem incredibly reasonable!!!

Nanny in the kingdom is great. I have used her before and she is so sweet.

Nanny in the kingdom sounds great but 6 hr minimum? And her rates seem kinda pricey to me (we pay our regular baby sitter $12/hr).
Too bad about the kids club being defunct.
I'll look into the babysitting option but this just might be a family trip Thank you!

We MAY be getting a sitter on our upcoming trip depending on how things work out. I have sitter specifics in one of my TRs... I'll go look..

I usually bring my teen niece with us to help with my granddaughter. But we have also used Fullerton Childcare. They have been around for a LONG time (my son is 29 and we used them when he was a toddler.) My nephews loved it when they sat for them so we could do an adult dinner.

It sounds like Nanny in the Kingdom is more for helping a family in the park.

The Nanny in the Kingdom thing is intriguing to me. I don't know if I would ever use it but handy to know!
