Has anyone used a babysitter at the resorts

[Dizzy over Disney]

Okay.. I am thinking of getting my husband tickets to see the Blue Men at Universal. We have a 12, 7 and 2 year old. I am thinking of leaving the 2 year old with a babysitter. I need you guys to share your experiences. I have no idea what to do.

Please share!

Thanks.

i looked into it, but the cost was ridiculous, so i skipped it.
here are the 2 companies who do it http://www.kidsniteout.com/svcs_sitter.aspx
and

We used the Fairy Godmothers (407) 969-9847 and toll free 877-611-4314 to help with babysitting during our wedding 3 years ago. They were great. They brought activities for the kids, we gave them money to get the dinner at the food court and then play in the arcade. They brought the kids to the reception at a prearranged time to meet the characters and we gave them the choice of staying at the reception or going back to the room with their babysitter and they all wanted to go play with her some more. I would happily use them again.

We've used them frequently as well. Great sitters. Family run business that started 25 or more years ago.

There's a 4 hour minimum, plus a transportation fee. I think we paid $84 a year ago.

we used Kids Nite Out about 1 1/2 years ago. They sent over a grandmotherly woman to us at POFQ. She was kind of a strict grandma, not that I minded that, b/c we were going out in the evening and I really just wanted the kids (3 1/2 and almost 2 at that time) to eat and go to sleep. As I recall, they did ask me about preferences (male vs female, young vs old). Anyway, we were satisfied, but it was a *very* expensive parent's night out!
