Cub's Den or BCV child's club?

[rsschneck]

For our Christmas trip we are staying @ BCV. For our 19th wedding anniversary we are eating @ Artist Point @ the WL (our favorite restaurant). DD (age 9) will be in one of the kids clubs. We have not tried any of the WDW kids clubs and would like some input from families that have. Should we keep DD @ BCV's kids club or check her into the Cub's Den @ the Wilderness Lodge?

I can't comment on BCV's kid's club, but will tell you our daughter has enjoyed Cub's Den at WL both times we've used it. We dine at AP on our last night each trip as a way of reflecting on the wonderful memories we've made without having to worry about crayons, kid's menu, or saying "please sit up straight" a bazillion times. Since we have always stayed at VWL, the Cub's Den makes sense for us. However, we also like the fact that the restaurant is less than a minute's walk away in case any issues should arise. We don't take a pager or phone with us; if needed, they know where to find us: settled comfortably in a window seat (if available), sipping a nice bottle of red, and thoroughly enjoying an adults' night out.

Can't speak for how it is today but years ago we had both our children at Cubs Den while we had dinner in Epcot. DD was 4 and DS was 8. DD is now in HS and DS is in College (time does fly) and both remember what a great time they had there and still speak of it fondly. We had a beeper, there were no calls to us and happy children when we picked them up.

I have used the Sand Castle Club at BCV on several occasions. My son used to actually request to go there instead of going to dinner with us! I like the location because you can easily walk to Epcot or just hang out on the Boardwalk. They have a great piano bar on the Boardwalk for adults only.

Just made reservations for the Cub's Den. We are going to try to get a sleigh ride before dinner and DD really liked the sleigh ride last time we did this so we could not leave her out. After the sleigh ride we will check her into the Cub's Den and she will eat dinner up there while we have a nice Anniversary dinner @ Artist Point.


Thanks for the replies everyone!
