Sandcastle Club Question

[msbeaver83]

I called to sign my son up and told them we would need it to be from 6pm-whenever, she said she didn't have anything for the place but then she said that when she put in 4:30 a space come up. I didn't think to ask if that means that we HAVE to show up at 4:30 or if we can wait til later in the day? I don't see why the 4:30 would make a difference.

Tried calling to ask just a minute ago but the wait is too long for me while at work.

Maybe it's because they open at 4.30, so that's the only time that would be available, since you pay from 4.30-midnight, no matter how long you're there for. We had our kids booked in last week, and they enjoyed it so much we booked them in for another night!

When we stayed at the Poly and used Lilo's playhouse, I had the same question. It is ok to drop off whenever. You are charged for the whole night regardless of drop off and pick up time and all kids clubs are the same.

Lilo's Playhouse and the Sandcastle Club are a flat fee for the full time, regardless of when you actually drop-off/pick-up.
Last I knew, Simba's Clubhouse and Camp Dolphin still charge the hourly rate.

Yeah, I believe that was the case. I talked to someone on the phone and they said drop him off anytime. But there is a 2 hour minimum which won't be a problem.
I am a bit nervous on how this is going to work out but everyone seems to have good things to say. He is getting up there in age so wasn't sure if there would be something for him to do age appropriate.

My son is almost 10 and he had a wonderful time. We had a look around before dropping the kids off and there was plenty for all ages to do. We were really impressed.

I was surprised of the flat rate of $55 including dinner. Was expecting much more $$$

I am not a resort guest how do I deal with parking to drop him off?

My son had a great time!!! He was so excited to tell me what they did. I figured he would just want to play video games but they had some activities he really enjoyed participating in.
