While many families adore watching their little ones explore Disney World for the first time, or just through a child’s eyes (even if it isn’t their first trip), sometimes you want to head to a nice dinner without the kids, but still want them to have a great time.
Over at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort, you’ll find Camp Dolphin, which is a club exclusively for kids aged 5-12. This is a great spot to drop your kids off at while you have a night out on the town or a nice dinner, but it does cost extra. However, if you dine at one of these three restaurants, you can get TWO hours of complimentary childcare!
While we were waiting at a bus stop near the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, we saw a sign that advertised this amazing deal. If you dine at Todd English’s bluezoo, AMARE, or Il Mulino New York Trattoria, you’ll receive two complimentary hours of childcare for your kids at Camp Dolphin!
The best part is that you do not need to stay at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort to take advantage of this deal — it’s available to everyone! You can scan the QR code to make reservations, or you can check out the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Camp Dolphin website to make reservations as well. Regularly, the cost is $10 per child, per hour.
What will your kids do, you may ask? Well, Camp Dolphin is staffed by a team of well-trained counselors who supervise age-appropriate activities like arts, crafts, movies, board games, video games, and nightly themed activities. They’ll even get a snack and a delicious meal! Yes, that basically means that if you’re dining at one of the three restaurants listed, your kids could eat FOR FREE, saving you lots of money.
Camp Dolphin is open for drop-offs from 4-5 PM, the program itself runs from 4-11 PM, and pick up time is between 9-11 PM. You’ll need to make reservations in advance, so be sure to plan ahead if this is something you’re thinking of doing during your vacation.
