Which Disney Kids Club is Best?

[cmskok]

I need some advice! I am headed to Disney in September and we have never used a kids club. We are wondering which one is best. We have dinner reservations at Le Cellier and I was thinking that the Sandcastle Club would be good because it's so close, but we are staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge so that is a convenient choice, too!!

What do you think?

We don't use those places, but everyone seems to rave about the one at Poly..."neverland" and, you could catch the monorail from TTC straight to epcot.

If you are staying at AKL, why not just use the one there? Alternatively, what about a service like "Kid's Night Out"? That way if the child is tired they can be in their own room rather than stuck in the kids club until you get back, and you won't feel the need to get back at any given time?

We stayed at AKL once and were in the food court one night, and saw a "grandmotherly like" lady sit down with two kids, some board games and their meals, and I'll tell ya, I was impressed! I got talking to her and learned she worked for Kids Night Out. I used to swear I'd never use a babysitting service until I witnessed her interraction with the kids. It was kind of cute..the kids looked like "Jane and Michael" from Mary Poppins. LOL

Just another option for you...I don't know how much the prices differ.

Thanks! I was thinking about KNO because 1 of our group turns 4 one week after we will use the club. I thought I fudging her age since it's just a week but it seems so deceitful! For us, it would actually be cheaper to use KNO, I just figured KC's would be more fun!

Not to mention, the poor thing..depending upon how late you'll be, may be just too tired to be in a busy kids club rather than the comfort of their own room.

I know all kids are different, but there's no way on earth I'd leave my just barely 4 year old at a kids club in the evening. (I wouldn't leave any of my children in one....but that's just me so don't anyone go and flame me ok?)
KNO can take the kids to the arcade for a bit can't they? They play games with them, color etc, and there aren't a gazillion other kids around...your children has the caretaker all to themselves. I do know they can't take your kid to the pools or anything.

We have used the Neverland club at the Poly and KNO and been very, very happy with both.
