On the topic of babysitting has anyone used the programs for older kids?

I know Disney has those "sitting" programs for older kids, mine will be 6.5 and 8.5 any experience or recommendations?

If we are staying at the POR can we use the programs at the CR, Poly or other deluxes? I'm sure that information is in my Passporter but I'm reading it from beginning to end, haven't gotten to that part yet? LOL

Thanks!!

We traveled with friends on our last trip and our kids stayed at the Neverland Club (at the Polynesian Resort). The kids (ages 10,9,6,4) all loved it! We are going with the same friends in May and have already booked a night for the kids at Neverland. The club has a buffet dinner with kid-friendly food (chicken tenders, mac & cheese). All kinds of activities for the kids - video games, arts and crafts, movies.

Yes, you can use the programs even if you're not staying at that particular resort!

I left my 5 year old at Simba's Playhouse at ALK last June. He LOVED it, he colored, played, played a video game, and had a great time. He didn't want to leave when I picked him up, and every day after that he asked if he could go back to Simba's. He has already asked me if he can go there on our next trip this December.

As for my feelings, the childcare workers were two older, grandmotherly type women who made me feel very comfortable. My son warmed up to them immediately. They give you a pager in case they need to contact you.
