I do not want to prevent anyone from going, but I was not very impressed with the children's programming.
It was my DD5 and myself (mom). DD is Very outgoing & spent alot of time talking with other guests. So I was surprised she wouldn't go in the club by herself. I didn't mind because the vacation was about spending time just the two of us together.
I would go in the club & stay with her. They let you go in as visitors, you don't have to sign them in. We went for the family time once. Because I wa with her I was able to see the things they do with the kids. First off, the club is mostly computers. She has a million games & tons of computer time at home so she wasn't very interested in it.
We went to the "Island" show & got there early. They had the 5-7 yr olds there from the club. They were trying to keep them entertained while they waited. The one counselor had the do a "moose call". It consisted all these cross this finger, hold these to together, cross this one of that one etc........ these were little kids that are trying to follow this LONG list of directions, then you are suppose to blow throw your hands & do this moose call. All these kids are trying to do htis & the couselors moose call was "here mooseie moosie moosie moosie! My DD5 was like what? what now? It was just silly. Then they do this silly repeat after me song. It was like they were just making stupid stuff up to waste these kids time while their parents were off having fun.
At scuttles cove, the wackey noodle game was a hulahoop, some sand buckets then another hulahoop. You had to jump up & down 3x in the hulahoop, run around the buckets, turn 3x in the last hulahoop then grab a noodle put it between your legs &run back. DD5 did it once & said can we go back & swim in the Mickey pool? Which was closed ALOT of the time.
The pool & slide was her favorites, almost the only thing she enjoyed doing. We have a pool at home so I thought how silly is this? That is where we spent almost all of our time.
Not what I wanted to do but she had fun.The slide is only open from 1:30-6:30. I think it should be opened alot longer, all the kids love it. Food- the lunch buffet the first day was unbelievable 
ummmm yummmy. I was surprised that the hot dog place & icrecream closes at 6:00p.m. You don't really have any choices for dinner, the resteraunt or room service. The buffet is closed for dinner. The day at castaway cay, DD had a scrape & the salt water hurt , she didn't like scuttles cove so we were on the ship. Nothing was open. I hope you like eating kids food ie.... hot dogs, pizza, chicken tenders, because that is ALot of the choices all the time. The restraunts were good, not alot of menu selection I didn't feel. All in all, I was disappointed. The children's programming leaves alot to be desired, at least for mine. They need to talk with some preschool teachers, there are alot of really cool simple things they could have done. Someone could be making things with them, with paint & paper & scissors & glue etc..nothing like that! They could learn to draw Mickey, way beyond my DD. Even the songs etc, were stupid & pointless. We went to the Mickey Mania, beyond her. The family dance party was good until they stoped the music & had the kids get on stage. Put your hands up, put them down, sit down, stand up, sit down, hands, up, hands down, sit down, stand up lye down, snore, who can snore the loudest. It was stupid, the kids were like why?DD was enjoying her self when they were playing music & dancing, then after they did all that she was like, can we go to the mickey pool? We did have our own fun, played ping pong, went on a horse & carraige ride in Nassau, Disney dreams was Great! we both enjoyed that. I just felt they had WAY more things for the adults to do than the kids & they could have done way simpler, WAY WAY better things with the kids. It was an experience, & I have tried not to be too disappointed but we will definately not be going back. I do hope everyoine else had the times of their lives. I don't want to discourage others from going but I didn't think it was worth th $$$$!

He wouldn't leave the Club!! In fact, I told him that this next cruise, he is at least coming to dinner with me every night, whether he likes it or not... but in return, he made me promise that I'd let him go right back to the Club. 
He was at a very tough stage. However, we went again(just to WDW) 11 months later and he had the time of his life. It was the greatest trip for me because I saw how much he enjoyed it, the way it should be. He was a completely different kid. Everything we did, he really enjoyed and he wanted to do it again and again. So, not knowing the kid, its hard to say when is the perfect time to go, but when you do decide to go, good luck! 
My DD's favorite ride was the Haunted House! She went two times in a row the first day and only once on the last day. It was hard getting her off it. She also loved the water sprays on Donald's boat, near Toon Town. She loved everything! Of course taking pictures helps her remember and a video camera would be even better.
