YES Program question - single parents

[IndianaPrincess]

I can't find this answer in all the info posted here, but I apologize if I missed it!

It looks like our WDW this fall will involve me flying home for work. Sucks, but it is what it is. So I will be there for the two weekends and DH will be with the kids during the week.

There is not a class that both kids can take because of their ages (5 and 9). They are in the ages where they need an adult. Will they let the other sibling sit with DH during the other's class? Has anyone dealt with this type of situation as a single parent or a logistical matter? Are we out of luck?

Thank you!

Sorry no answer, but wondering the same thing. I was considering taking two of mine for their birthdays but they are 11 and 12 and it seems like the divide for most of the classes is at that age.

Your out of luck.

They will not allow the younger child to tag along with you husband.

I have 3 kids- almost 2, 8 & 9 at the time. We did Wild by Nature last fall and I ended up using Kids Nite Out (in room babysitting service, recommended by Disney) for the youngest one. It was expensive- $16 per hour + a transportation fee, meal and tip- which cut in to the ticket savings, but for me, the YES program was more about getting the kids the special Disney experience than the $. My toddler seemed to have a great time with the sitter.
