childcare

[Natalie77]

Hi all! We are planning for our June trip to Disneyland and we are very excited!! Me and my husband wanted to do a night out just the two of us. I am not sure what to do about childcare for our kids. Was wondering what everyone else has done? Our kids are 12, 9 and 7, here in Texas they have Adventure Kids playcare which is a drop in childcare facility and it is open late. Does anyone know if there is something like this in the Anaheim area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you stay at 1 of the DL resort hotels they have a program where you can drop them off for fun and games and snacks until midnight. For a fee of course. If not we just hired a nanny down there and the kids loved her. If you go to guest services they will make you sign a release ( the nannies don't work for Disney) and they will give you a list of names and numbers. We called the first 1 and got a nanny named GG, she was great. She texted us lots and I actually met others in the park she had sat for which was nice because she was our first sitter who wasn't family so we were a little nervous. It was $18/ hour with a 4 hour minimum and $8 travel fee. PS it was the best date we had in 10 years together.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately we aren't styaing at one of the resort hotels. We are staying at an off site hotel and I had looked at some nanny agencies, but like you we have only ever had family or friends watch our children. I was a little bit worried about having a stranger come stay with our kids alone at the hotel. I guess if that is our only option? Any other responses would be greatly appreciated!!
