Has anyone used Pinocchio's Workshop?

We are hemming and hawing about using this babysitting service at the GCH for our 5 and 7 year old - only because it would work out to $18 per child (with dinner) per hour with a minimum of 3 hours. Our kids spent time at the Neverland Club at WDW last year and it was seriously a highlight of the trip for them (also expensive, but since they raved about it, it seemed to be worth it). They already know there is one available at the GCH and so guess what they are asking for (Instead of a lovely, well-behaved dinner at Napa Rose with their parents? What are they thinking?!) Has anyone experienced this service at both DLR and WDW in order to offer a comparison? If not, any opinions on ol' Pinocchio's Workshop itself? Thanks!

I don't know but am interested in the responses too!

We have used Pinocchio's Workshop for our oldest two kids twice. They LOVED it both times! They and I would highly recommend it!

My 9 year old daughter LOVES Pinocchio's! We go to DL at least 4 times a year and she stays at Pinocchio's at least one night, mostly 2 every time. Dinner is an option for the kids and there are plenty of games and activities for them to do. They also get to watch the fireworks from the concierge lounge if they stay that long. Barbara and her staff are wonderful and I would highly recommend Pinocchio's for parents who would like to spend an evening having a nice dinner without the kids.
