WDW Kids Clubs

[LilGMom]

For the first time DH & I are seriously considering using one of WDW's Kids Clubs so that he and I can either go enjoy a quiet meal alone, actually walk around the EPCOT shops, take in a show at Cirque or just lounge around. We've read some of the reviews on the various Kids Clubs, have heard reviews on some of them, etc. but darn my memory if I can remember much about any of that.

I'd love to hear from people that have used them. Which ones did you like? What did you like or dislike? Pros or cons of any of them would be appreciated. My boys are 5 & 9 fwiw.

TIA!

Over the past several years, we've used just about every kid's club (except GF) for our grandson for one night while the grownups have a nice quiet dinner someplace. He's always enjoyed the clubs and when we go to WDW he always wants to know what night he's going to his club. His favorites are the Neverland Club (Poly) and Simba's at AK.

I seriously wouldn't be too concerned about which club is better - the all seem comparable. You might just want to chose based on where you are staying or where you will be that night.

We've only used Simba's Cubhouse at AK, but both kids loved it. Generally heard good things about all of them but I know the Neverland Club at the Poly generally gets great reviews.

I'd consider which one is most convenient to you, or where you are going to generally be. If not staying at AK, it's a bit out of the way.

It's been years since we've needed the Kids Clubs, but I can tell you that for my boys- that night was often THE highlight of their trip!!
They started going there at about ages 3 & 6, and continued until the oldest was too old- and boy! were they sad that they couldn't go to them any longer.

They enjoyed the Neverland Club best, as well as the Sandcastle Club at the Beach Club (is that even still there?) and the one at the Wilderness Lodge.
No matter where they are still operational- the cast members do a fantastic job at making it a fun night.

I completely agree that you should choose based on YOUR plans, as all of the clubs are wonderful.
Enjoy!

We used the Neverland Club at the Poly and both kids (DS8 and DD6) loved it and didn't want to leave!

I hadn't heard of one at the BC but that would work wonderful since we'll be staying at the YC this coming trip. Time to do a little research...

Thanks everyone.

We used the sandcastle club at BC last August for my DD6 and she had a great time. DH and I went to Yachtsmans Steakhouse and had a wonderful dinner just the two of us. DD had dinner at the sandcastle club (and did lots of playing) while we had ours. When we finished, we picked her up and we all strolled into EPCOT to watch Illuminations together. Everyone had a great night!
