A Look Inside Lilo’s Playhouse: Disney’s Childcare

This post is not sponsored by any party. All thoughts and opinions on Lilo’s Playhouse are my own. 

Lilo’s Playhouse will be closing July 31st, 2018. Disney’s newest childcare option is Pixar Play Place. Please see my full post on Pixar Play Zone with VIDEO review of this new and exciting option!

Walt Disney World Resort is the place where family vacations are made of magic. From the theme parks to the festivals, there is always something new to do, as well as old favorites to return to. But what happens when Mom and Dad need a moment away from the kids? Perhaps a night at the highly extravagant Victoria and Albert’s is just the ticket for this year’s anniversary, but the kids might be better off elsewhere than the five diamond-four star restaurant. Fortunately, Disney has a few child care options that are safe, clean, and engaging for your children if you are a Disney Resort Hotel Guest. While you don’t have to be a Polynesian Village Resort Guest, you will need to be staying on Disney Property to utilize these child care options.  I recently was given a tour of Lilo’s Playhouse, and it was so fun, I wanted to stay and play all night!

Lilo’s Playhouse is much like Simba’s Cubhouse at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, or Disney’s Beach Club child care, called The Sandcastle Club.  If your kids, ages 3-12, have exhausted the Polynesian Resort splashpad/playground, you can then send them to Lilo’s Playhouse for a rollicking good time from 4:30 pm to 11:59 pm. Following the theme of our favorite Disney Golden Books that Lilo is reading to Stitch, children at Lilo’s Playhouse visit activity centers based on them.

Pricing and Discounts

Lilo’s Playhouse has a flat fee of $55.00 per child, from 4:30 pm – 11:59 pm, no matter when you decide to pick them up. You can make reservations for the child care center by calling the Disney Dining Hotline at (407) 939-7529. Lilo’s Playhouse has a 15% DVC discount as well as a 15% AP discount, so remember to take advantage of those great deals when you visit! If you want more information on Simba’s Cubhouse, please know that the Cubhouse program is priced per hour, unlike Lilo’s Playhouse or The Sandcastle Club.

Lilo’s Playhouse Kids Menu

If your brood visits Disney’s child care center BEFORE 5:30, dinner will be ordered from Oasis for each child (the meal is included in the price of the evening’s care). Parents can order kid-friendly meals during check-in, and dinner will be served around 6:00 pm. An extra snack is offered at 10:00 pm. Rest easy if your children have food allergies or dietary concerns because Walt Disney World Resort takes those very seriously! Each eatery has allergy menus and a chef available for consultation.

Lilo’s Playhouse Children’s Activity Centers

The Activity centers cover a variety of themes and the centers are well spaced. You’ll find organized activities, free play, character visits and more. There is a cap on how many children can attend, with no more than 15 kids to each Cast Member, all of whom are CPR and health trained.

Cinderella Pretend Play

Pretend play is queen at this center. Become a queen, a prince, or simply build your own ice castle with blocks.

Arts and Crafts with Pooh & Friends

My daughter’s personal favorite, coloring, is a fun stop on the activity centers. Endless art supplies accompany art kits for a fun craft experience each night.

Cooking School

Mixing with Remy, or stirring up pasta with the Tramp, kids can explore basic cooking techniques and artful meal construction with top supervision.

Pirate Training

Yo Ho! Train up as a pirate with Peter Pan and perhaps some special pirate guests! This is undoubtedly one of the kid’s most favorite centers.

Pinocchio’s Theatre

During the late hours, a quiet movie is put on for children who would like to rest. While our tour was going on, none other than Lilo and Stitch was playing!

Wonderland Gaming Center 

For those gals and lads that prefer some digital entertainment, one of the rotation stations is equipped with secure video games and entertainment screens.  Plus the advantage of having Cheshire Cat watching over the room!

    This place is awesome! Do you have to be staying at the resort to use the child care? As in, do I have to be at the Polynesian for Lilo’s, Beach Club for the Sand Castle, and so on? Also, can you leave the property while they are there?

      Oh! I’ll edit the post to reflect that! No, you don’t have to be a guest in that particular hotel. It’s nice that if you are on the Monorail line, Lilo’s serves. If you are in the Boardwalk area, Sandcastle Club is best. Animal Kingdom Lodge is kind of set apart, so unless you are in that area for dinner, etc., I’m not sure you would go that far, unless the $/hour is a better bet for you!

    Man! I want to stay here! I always wanted to explore this option for a night in the parks with the hubby…but I always had at least one kid under the age requirement.

    What do you mean by “the Polynesian Resort playground?” Where is that located?

      Oops! I’m sorry. I meant the water playground/splashpad. Any regular “dry” playground was removed when the Polynesian Resort was re-imagined.

      Oh, man, I wish! You can only choose one discount when shopping… pick whichever one is larger, of course. Sometimes the AP discounts will vary with promotions, so always be sure and check. Enjoy your date night!

    What type of security is provided for my children? Will my 3 children, ages 7, 8 and 9, be able to stay together in a group?

      Hi!The Doors and exits are highly controlled once the kids are inside and checked in, with an on-duty receptionist at all times. Plenty of staff is on hand, as well, so they are never overwhelmed with a guest-caretaker ratio. I can’t speak to the children staying together, as I’ve only had one in there, but their ages are similar, so I would bring it up when you make the reservation. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to stick together like Hewey, Louie, and Dewey!
