    My wife and I would like one free evening at the Napa Rose and have two little boys we'd like to have babysat if it's possible. We're not insistent on it, and if it isn't doable, no worries. But if anyone has suggestions, or if there are people who offer this service, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

I think it is for GCH guests only, but I'm not sure of that either. It looked nice. They have movies, games, toys, and PS2 for the kids. We didn't use the service though. I think it was even open til Midnight.

    Good Luck and Have fun!

    Don't know that I will ever get a family trip to WDW. We can barely afford DL every 3 years or so!
