    I’ve heard about third party babysitting services, never used them but we are planning on running Disneys 2027 Marathon and we’re trying to figure out what to do with our three kids and if this is something I could use Disney’s babysitting service?

    Welcome to planDisney, Alejandra! Let's lace up our running shoes and talk about your Walt Disney World Resort visit in 2027. Advance planning is my middle name! 

    You have my sincere admiration and awe for being a marathon runner. My adult son recently completed a 100-mile ultramarathon! Meanwhile, I complain if I have to park at the end of the row at EPCOT. But I understand that it's essential to have someone hang with your kiddos while you race toward that finish line, so let's look at your options.

    Disney Resort Hotels do not offer childcare services directly, but I did a quick online search and found several agencies that offer childcare in the area. Most will come to your resort room to watch your wee ones, so they can stay safe and snug while you pound those miles.

    I'd prioritize companies whose caregivers are certified in CPR and other safety measures, and background/criminal checks are a must. You could call a few places to get a feel for their vibe and go with what works best for your family. runDisney events typically begin early, so you could double-check to see if they would be available. Finally, customer reviews might give you insight into an agency's program. We can't be too careful when it comes to our babies!

    While you're in the theme parks, the Baby Care Centers can offer much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of your day. They provide a quiet space for kiddos to unwind and recharge. You can locate these oases on the My Disney Experience Mobile App map under Guest Services. 

    Alejandra, I'm wishing you luck and speed on your upcoming endeavor. May the wind be at your back while your children snooze away. Please stop by planDisney whenever you need a pit stop!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
