I think Kindercare and Fairy Godmothers are two of the babysitting services that people I've heard have used and had satisfying experiences with....I'd give each of them a call to get specifics.....

Here's a couple of pics from our Oct 2000 stay at Royal Palms.

It was a bit older than some other resorts but we loved it! 5 minutes and you are in Epcot parking lot! or Downtown Disney!

Thank you so much for posting those pictures, dosen't look exactly like the pictures in the books or on the web sites but its pretty close. I kind of expect that with hotels/resorts. Atleast now we know what we are really walking into. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. How were the amminities in the hotel... pool and otherwise, service?? If you don't mind my asking!

Thanks

we leave in one week! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We used the pool and hot tub twice..both were great! May be a little walk if you end up at the far end of the resort. I would try to request something close to the check-in building. Check-in was smooth, no problems. Our fridge didn't work when we got there so I called front desk and they sent someone up. It took about 1 hour to get it all fixed. No other problems...not much to report really. TV's were pretty old and the wear and tear was apparent but we really liked it, nonetheless. There's a Publix about 5 minutes away, just ask at the front desk and they will point you in the right direction.
