This question comes from Eric, who asks: “Me and my wife would like to go to Disney World in January for the marathon and for fun. However with both of us wanting to do the marathon we need to know if there will be any child care for our son. Thank you for the help.”
Eric, thanks for your question and for reading the site. Disney doesn’t provide childcare during the marathon, but there are several good off-site childcare providers that you might try. Kids Nite Out and Fairy Godmothers (407 277-3724) are the most popular services. Disney does not recommend any one service, but if you ask at your resort, you’ll most likely be given Kids Nite Out’s phone number. All childcare providers have had thorough background checks. You can specify the type of sitter you feel most comfortable with, say “college age girl” or “grandmother type.” They’ll come to your resort, either on or off site, and watch your child for as long as you need. They won’t bathe or take your children to the pool, but they will take them out for some activities in your resort if you ask. They can also accompany families to the parks if you need an extra hand. There is an additional charge per child and a small transportation fee.
I’ve used Kids Nite Out several times and have been very happy with them. You can read a recent review of them that I wrote here.
I hope this helps. Good luck in the marathon!
