Kids club cost issue for 5?

[The VWL Five]

I have 3 kids myself and we will be with 2 others. The 4 adults want a night out at PI or dinner. Most likely we will be gone 4-5 hours. So for us the cost would be 150 for the evening. We have done KNO before with our 3 but don't think they will watch 5. Plus do we really want 5 kids all together in a room doing this and that?

Anyone have a better idea or should we just do the kids club and be done.

Thanks

I personally would let them go to one of the clubs. I think they'll have a great time, plus, they get dinner. I don't know the ages, but they have toys, movies, computers, video games, and other activities......... Most of the time the kids don't want to leave!!! LOL

We are going to let DS go to the Neverland club on our trip.......... he is really looking forward to it!

I want to send my kids to the kids clubs the next time i go to WDW. DD will finally be 4 in March.

Kids are 5, 5, 6, 7, 7.

I'm sure they will enjoy the kids club. It's the $150 out of my pocket that I'm not sure 'I' will enjoy......LOL

Yeah, I hear you!!!! But, really, they'll be safe, and dinner is included in that price, and you really won't have to worry about them at all............... when is your trip?? Do you have time to maybe "earn" the money?? You could sell something......... Ebay, yardsale, etc.... for me though, just the peace of mind would be worth it.

Good Luck!!

Wendypooh - Thanks. Trip is in July. We actually have a bunch of stuff on ebay as we speak. Pretty funny. Thanks and I agree with you.

I just made reservations with KNO for five kids and they didn't say "boo" about it. We have also done the clubs, but this time we wanted the kids to go to bed while we are out. They are also old enough to let us know if there is a problem or even to call us if necessary (although if all goes well they'll be asleep when the sitter arrives). Saving some money was also a nice bonus!

I was just re-reading the OP, aren't the kid's clubs $10/hr per kid? Five kids x 4-5 hours, wouldn't that be $200-$250? If I have the prices wrong, I may reconsider KNO, because for the five kids with KNO they quoted me about $120 with transportation etc. (not including tip).

But there is the bedtime thing... the people we are traveling with are very strict with bedtimes and are doing MK for the first time ever the next day. I'd hate to mess that up for them!

I think the OP was referring to her portion since she has 3 of the 5 kids.
