Disney Babysitting questions

[MaryannF]

Has anyone used the babysitting service available at DisneyWorld? DS wants to use the service so that we can all go to the Luau one night. DH doesn't like the idea and is willing to stay behind to babysit. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have used Fairy Godmothers and they were great. My sons were 10 and 5 and she took them to the community hall at the resort and brought a suitcase full of lego. They do not take the kids swimming (liability issues) but most of them even has park passes and will take them to the park. When we returned, the boys were in bed and she was sitting in a chair by the bathroom with the bathroom light on so she could still see the boys, but the room was dark enough so they could sleep. The next morning both boys raved about her and the older one wanted us to go out again so she could come back. I have also used the Disney Clubs at the hotels when the boys were 4 & 9 and both boys liked that as well but my kids are happy to be with anyone who has lego/trucks and food plus they may be older than your kids but I would happily use either one of them again.
