It would be absolutely foolish not to have childcare there. You could always use Fairygodmother services or whatever else they have Disney-wide, but I would think a childcare center would do particularly well at SSR, given the adult entertainment nearby as others mentioned. I guess I'll be happy if it keeps the dues lower, since I don't really need the services anyway, but who knows what they are thinking. Maybe the size of the resort makes the cost really prohibitive.
