To get a babysitter in and book a keys to the kingdom tour? I really want to go again but we have no babysitter. But then I am really reluctant to leave my kids in a strange country with someone they don't know. What do you think?
LOTS of people book sitters for their kids, regardless of age. It all depends on your comfort level. I would think that the WDW babysitters have all had background checks, but you could also check on that. For us, we'll probably wait until our children are old enough for the kids clubs. I'm not sure what hours the tour is, but the Disney 'kids clubs' open at many of the deluxe resorts (you don't need to stay there to use them, but you do need to book reservations) at 4PM and are for ages 4-12.

Absoultey get a babysitter and take a tour. I'm sure the kids would love a break from you as well From what I hear all the babysitters are very qualified. The kids could stay at the hotel and spend the entire day at the pool if they wish. You could call them at any time if you wanted.
I think that if you purchase a ticket for the babysitter they would even take the kids into the park. THat way you wouldn't be too far away
