Which Kid's Club to use for Epcot dinner?

[kaitymom]

DH and I are having dinner at LeCellier in Epcot for our anniversary and I am struggling with whether to use the Neverland club or the one at the Yacht and Beach. We are staying at Coronado Springs and want to take that into consideration as well since we will be using the transportation system. If we do the Neverland we can walk to the TTC and take the monorail to Epcot and when we pick up the kids can we get a bus from TTC to Coronado Springs? If we go to Yacht & Beach, we would have to go to Downtown Disney or Epcot to get a bus back to our hotel. What do you think? Has anyone ever tried this? Don't want to spend a lot of out time without the kids getting back and forth but do not want to spend a lot of time dragging the kids from bus to bus if they are tired afterwards.

Thanks!

I would definitely use the Sandcastle club at the Beach Club. It's closer and would be much easier to just walk to and from Epcot. I believe that the Boardwalk still offers bus service to and from Coronado Springs in the evenings, so you could just walk over after you pick the kids up and catch the bus there. Of course you'll want to double check that they still offer this once you arrive. You could always take a taxi back if it's late and everybody is tired - this would be the quickest option and wouldn't cost much at all for such a short trip.

If you take them to the Neverland Club there's so much more traveling back and forth that you'll have to do. Plus, the TTC does not offer buses to the resorts. You will have to go to the Magic Kingdom and catch a bus from there. Depending on the time of night and the time of year, the Magic Kingdom may already be closed by the time you finish dinner and an evening at Epcot.

Have fun!

Beth,

Thank you so much for your reply! You made some great points that I hadn't thought of since it never occured to me to get a bus from the Boardwalk and that the MK most probably would be closed.

Thanks again!

kaitymom: Beth answered your questions about what kid's club to use for ease of transportation. I just wanted to add how much my kids love the Sandcastle Club. My ds was begging to go back there the last trip!

Sandcastle Club would be my pick too.This way y'all could have the kids stay a little longer at the kid's club and go have an after dinner drink or dessert at the Boardwalk.The walk from Epcot to the Boardwalk or to Yand B is pretty romantic!

I'd also opt of the Sandcastle Club for the convenience of location. Then for transporation to your home resort, I'd get a cab. It will only cost a few dollars but save a lot of time and the frustration of having to do the bus swap at DTD. -HM
