Is babysitting available?

[MyYearWithTheMouse]

We will be spending the month of April in Berlin and are planning a trip to DLP, as the true Disney fans that we are. Two questions--What are the crowds throughout April?

And second question, is there babysitting available? Our kids will be 5 and 2.5.

Thanks!!!

That is funny, I thought I knew most things yet I have never looked at babysitting. I am sure you could find an au pair to come in on a private basis.

in 2014, I'd go to DLP before 12th April - this is because thats the start of the French school holidays, and they run from 12th April until 12th May (3 zones, all off at different but overlapping times). The busiest of this period will be 12th April to 27th April, as thats Parisien area school holidays, and obviously you've also got Easter weekend in there too.

I'm not aware of any actual babysitting service at DLP. Perhaps you could email guest services and ask if there is such a thing, and what it involves?

If I were to visit the Wednesday before Easter, are the anticipated crowds less than thurs- Easter Monday?

Yes, but only slightly so as it's school holidays. There probably won't be a huge difference between Wednesday and Thursday but Good Friday through Easter Monday will be very busy.

I found this post from a couple of years ago via search

Taken from the Brit's Guide 2006-2007 edition so things may well have changed

There is no official in-house baby-sitting service for any of the hotels, although there is a private firm who can arrange in-room baby-sitting for you via the front desk
