Kids' Club ??

[DisneyMama27]

Anyone used these? Which ones are easiest to use and where do you go while kids are there? Is it worth it for three kids? (We'll have DVC discount but it's only 10%) They loved the one at SSR while we toured DVC, but that one seems to be only for DVC tours.

I don't see much about these, even in Disney media/ads, so wondered how popular they are. How far ahead should we book?

Thanks for your help!

The one at SSR is only for those doing the tour. We have used the Neverland Club at the POLY and DD loved it! We have our kids booked at the Sandcastle Club next week at the BC. We'll see how that goes. When DD was at the one at the POLY, DH and I went out to dinner. This time we don't know what we will do. The kids clubs give you a pager just in case they need to get in touch with you. Not sure what you mean by easy to use.

easiest to use...I guess I meant if you are going to Pleasure Island, which is closest/most accessible? I suppose it all depends on what we want to do. If we're going to Epcot sans kids, then GF or Poly is probably the best bet.

I'm thinking for going to PI, we'll probably call Kids Nite Out,so we don't have to go pick up the kids and then bus it to our villa at BW.

I guess my question should have been, which kids club is closest to Boardwalk?

I would think the Sandcastle Club at the Beach Club would be most convenient for the Boardwalk and/or Epcot. We're doing Neverland Club at the Poly for a DTD night in September (probably not the most convenient, but it seems to be the most popular), and may do the Sandcastle Club for one night during the F&WF. We'll have to see which the kids would rather do--F&W in WC or the kids' club!

You can make reservations 180 days out, just like for dining ADR's. They take a CC for a guarantee--if you don't cancel 24 hours before your reservation and don't show up, they'll charge 2 hours per child to your CC. If you know what night you're considering, there's no reason not to make a reservation, especially for 3 kids.

Closest to the BW, Epcot and MGM would be the Sandcastle Club. Closest to MK would be the clubs at the POLY, GF, CR, and WL. As far as one close to DtD, I'm not sure. I sure wish they would use that one they have at SSR for us WDW resort guests, even if they just opened it up to us DVC'ers for a daycare option near DtD would be great! Wishful thinking, I know. I'll be sure to post how the Sandcastleclub was when we get back.

I second that motion!

DH thinks they'll turn that one into a new kids' club, for guest use, but we'll see how long that takes. Since SSR is our home, and we love DTD, it would sure be convenient. Our kids loved that place - got to visit twice since we came and toured, then came back to sign the papers the same week!
