Kids Club at VWL Question?

[Tine731]

I posted this on the family board but have not received any feedback.

It is kind of related to DVC. We are traveling with friends and are staying at the VWL and will be using the kids club for the first time....so here are my questions....

Do you tip in addition to the hourly fee at the kids clubs?

What about the in room babysitting? Kids night out...do you tip them in additon to the hourly fee?

If so, what is the recommended?

TIA!

When my kids were little they stayed at several of the kids clubs (including Cubs Den at WL). They loved it and were always bummed out when it was time to leave, they considered it their own special night out.

I don't remember tipping, and I don't think that I would have.

DVC members get a discount on the kids clubs, so make sure to ask/mention that when you make the reservation & when you check the kids in.

As for the in room services, we never used them. As I said, my kids loved going to the kids clubs. There were other kids to play with, movies, crafts, toys, video games, etc. I think they would have been disappointed to stay in the room with a sitter. JMHO

We LOVED kids night out. We had someone for 6 hours.
We gave her a $20 tip for the night.

We've used the kids club at the Poly and the Beach Club - we have not tipped, nor do I think it's expected (not even sure if they would be allowed to take tips there). My kids love it and always ask to go -- not sure what we're going to do when my son gets too old in a few more years.

DS was at the Cub's Den on Wed. night. He loved it. No tipping.

When we used Fairy Godmothers, we always tipped. We loved our FG sitter; but DS is older now, and the kids club saved us a lot of money.

I always use the kids club and never tip...

I would tip the babysitter though if I had one come to the room.

My DD is an only child so she wants to go and play with the other kids. She goes there the majority of nights and we get to enjoy a nice dinner while she eats her chicken nuggets that she would have eaten anyway.
She actually gets upset the nights she dosen't go.
I'm like honey we are going to see fantasmic....she is like....I want kids club
