While I'm waiting for replies to my questions about being a non-Florida resident getting a resident pass and being a non-Passholder trying to get the AP rate w/o the AP for a suite at the Grand Floridian, I was also wondering about the best time of year to pull my kids out school--me and hubby think right around mid-term finals for our high schooler and middle schoolers would probably be the best time. For this trip, we are only going to WDW, not that other park, so this trip is going to be very educational. Also, I was wondering about using the kids clubs at WDW for our younger kids.
I'm not comfortable leaving my children with complete strangers, and wonder about the type of parents who would go on a family vacation and then leave their children with strangers. I mean honestly, can't you wait and go to a fancy restaurant at home?! By jiminy, we keep our kids attached to us 24/7.
Anyways, I would be comfortable having Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy or Goofy watching my children (If Disney would throw in a Princess or two, so much better, as my own little princess just loves the princesses). So, I was wondering would it be possible to reserve the Neverland Club--I hear it is the best--just for my kids only, but only after all the surfaces have been completly doused with Lysol, and I am given the opportunity to use my handy dandy disinfectant wipes to personally ensure all door knobs, toys, and anything else my children might possibly come in contact are CLEAN, and have the characters watch them. If me and hubby are having a really good time at dinner, then we would be okay with having the characters escort our children back to the motel (oops resort) and tucking them into bed,while we head over to PI. Since we are only doing this to celebrate our anniversary, I'm sure this will be done for no charge.
Has anyone ever done this, and would also let me know if you agree that pulling kids out of school during finals for a trip to WDW is a good thing to do?
