Date night at WDW?

We are spending a week at DW with our two children. They are 7 & 2 and we were thinking of getting Kid's Night Out to come spend some time with them. We are having a hard time deciding when to do it and what to do. Our ADR's are making things difficult. Since we are on the DDP we made a lot of ADRs to ensure we would not be waiting forever for a table with a hungry, cranky 2 y/o.
Boy I am making this long - sorry. DH would rather not do dinner since he would like to go to Epcot or DHS and ride a couple of rides together since most of the bigger ones we will be doing alone or with DD using the rider swap.

Any ideas, advice, suggestions are much apprecitated.

Thanks

If your DH doesn't want to do a meal, I agree, going to the parks and doing the thrill rides sounds like a great time! We're finally past that baby swap stage (except for RnRC) so I definitely appreciated not having to do it on our last trip (and the amount of time it saved in touring)!!

I wonder if we should just cancel one of our dinner ADR and use that time to tour?
I don't know. Maybe an afternoon instead of evening?

Thanks!

We did a date night in MK and just did what we wanted--ride a few rides, have ice cream on Main Street, shop and it was a wonderful date! It is a very different experience being in the park without the children. For us it was a fun date.

An evening in the parks sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

We used Kids Nite Out in December and went to DTD. Kids Nite Out was great. I really can't say enough good things about them. We definitely would use them again.

We went to dinner, then wandered the stores. We would've gone to one of the parks but the hours were shorter in Dec.

We didn't schedule an ADR for dinner that day, and just got CS for DS's dinner. If you want to keep a sit down meal that day, I'd do it for lunch. That way you and DS will have plenty of time to get the kids all settled at your resort before KNO arrives and get ready for your date night without feeling rushed. You can always grab something at a CS or a late night snack whenever you get hungry at the park. Have fun!

Thanks for all the great info and I am happy to hear that others have been happy with KNO.

I think I will make a plan when I get home from work and make a reservation.

I would do it when Epcot has EMH and drop the kids off at the resort after
your dinner. Then you can park hop to DHS and ride the big rides and then
over the Epcot for a relaxing time around the world.

Since most of these sitting services require a minimum of hours that would
work in your favor. If you eat your dinner around 5, drop the kids off by
6:30 and then have the rest of the night to yourselves.

Thanks everyone!

I made a reservation for 5pm and Epcot does have EMH. We will feed the kids or leave $$ for dinner and then head off. I requested 5-11 pm and DH will probably have a heart attack when he sees the bill. lol Oh well we are on vacation at WDW!!

Since we want time at DHS, I will need to cancel my ADR for Boma I really wanted to go there, but maybe next time.
