I am going to be staying at OKW in September, and heard that there is something called a kids club that is seperate from babysitting. Is it free? What is it all about, really? Is it free? Are there age limits? Are the adults required to stay? I'm thinking it's the perfect time for an hour alone at the pool... is there a schedule listed online or something so that we could plan around some of the activities? Any information on it would be greatly appreciated..... Thanks!

Select Disney Resorts offer Child Activity Centers, you do not need to be a guest at the resort to use the centers. The cost is $10 per hour with a 2 hour minimum. They are open to children 4-12 yr & potty trained (no pull-ups) The age restriction is due to license requirements. Dinner is served between 6 pm - 8 pm for no extra charge. Priority Seating is strongly suggested by calling 407-WDW-DINE. All centers are open from 4:30 pm - 12:00 midnight.
Locations include:
Mouseketeer Club at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Neverland Club at the Polynesian Resort
Cub's Den at the Wilderness Lodge
Sandcastle Club at the Beach Club Resort
Simba's Clubhouse at the Animal Kingdom Lodge
There are also some free scheduled kids activities (mostly crafts) at each of the Deluxe and Vacation Club Resorts for guest staying at that Disney Resort. Parental supervision is suggested for most activities. Inquire at your resort front desk.
Hope this Helps! :sohappy:

I would also like to add that addmission to the kid's clubs are included in the new Premium Package.
When you arrive, the staff will give you a pager to carry in the event that something happens while you're away. They do not open until 4:00pm and they close at midnight.
The Neverland Club at the Polynesian is a big favorite too. It is themed with Peter Pan and co. When you enter to drop off your child, you will be standing in Wendy's bedroom. You do all of the "grown up" stuff and send the kid through the bedroom window to "Neverland". Inside there are many different stations for the children to do activities. Inside the giant pirate ship there are the large vidoe games like Pac-Man, ect. which are fixed so that the kids can play as long as they like. Inside the larger than life "Skull Rock" the kids have access to PC games and other game systems like Playstation, ect. There is always a Disney film playing on a very large screen and the kids have a stadium seating area for that. There are several arts and craft stations set up and there are plenty of board games that they can play in groups. The adults in charge play organized games/activities with the kids as well. When dinner is served, it comes out on a buffet that is inside of the crocodile from the film. Captain Hook stands atop the bufffet with a sword drawn, pointing at the Croc, who is licking his lips looking back at the Capt. Very Cute!
At any rate, my child loves going there and typically would rather do that every night for his "grown up" activity. Kid's love it and we would reccomend atleast one night if you can do it.

good experience? Cub'sDen?
We are thinking of using this to have a 2 hour dinner by ourselveswhen we go... I like that they give you a pager.
Would you recommend? and Why? We're not sure our daughter will want to do this because of stranger anxiety/separation anxiety...
thanks

I strongly recommend the Kids Clubs. One night each trip we send the boys to a Kids Club while we have a quiet dinner by ourselves. We pick the Kids Club that's closest to where we plan on dinner so that we can be there pronto if there's a problem. On the contrary, when we've come to pick them up after dinner, they don't want to leave. There is so much fun stuff for them that a two or three hour stay works out great for both kids and parents.
