How best to spend $300 during our April trip?

[overthinker]

After almost nine years since our last trip to WDW (don't feel too bad, we live 30 minutes from Disneyland and visit often) we'll be finally making a return trip in April. Yesterday, I won $300 in my work Super Bowl pool and would like to use it to "plus" our trip. Our travelling party includes me, husband, 5-year-old son and husband's parents.

I'm open to any ideas, although options involving Wishes/Illuminations may be out due to 5-year-old's bedtime.

Have your son take a good nap and fo the Pirates and Pals Wishes cruise. You will all love it.

And congratulations on making your first post. I think you have been overthinking it for almost 7 years now.

Pirates and Pals cruise is a great idea and he would love that! Yes, I can't believe that it took me so long to make my first post- wanted to make sure that it was a good question!

Cirque d'Soleil. Great show and will interest all ages. Go to the early one if bedtime is a factor.

La Nouba, no question.

I've always wanted to do an Illuminations Cruise.

Hire a sitter for the kid and have a leisurely signature dinner with copious quantities of wine.

I gotta go with Cirque...
Like no other show on the planet. We've hit 3 Cirques in LV and the one at WDW. Loved them all!

Lots of good offerings here.

This wins in my book!

Have a fantastic trip!

If your big Theme Parks fans, I would do something like Keys to the Kingdom tour. That is one of the best tours in WDW. It is also at a price where the whole family could do it.

Other than that, I would do a great signature and get babysitting for the child. Didn't realize that the child was only 5.

Op has a 5 year old. The minimum age for KTTK is 16

Thank you for all the great ideas! I think that the babysitting/dinner (definitely with wine!) or a tour (maybe the Family Magic Tour?) are my top picks. Does anyone have recent experience with Sandcastle Club at the Beach Club or the Family Magic Tour? Thank you!
