TIPS ↑ top
If you have preschoolers, you're in luck; special rates are availalble when bigger kids are in school.

Expect to have free time while your kids are taken care of (remember free time?) Bring books, sketchpads, etc., or join one of their adult programs.

The shuttle service is fine if you're not a Type A personality.

Finally the vacation answer
Summer at Smuggler's Notch is like the best overnight camp ever, except, instead of a bunk, you collapse at night in your beautiful condo with a jacuzzi and Swedish washer/dryer. There is endless, quality programming for every kid, with or without parents. After day camp, it's hard to choose -- back to the superfun water parks? Three-legged races? Magic show, puppet show, bingo? Drop-off at child-care for adult peace? Skip camp entirely and go llama-trekking? And that's just the beginning. Most programs are included. Spa services and workshops are marked up, but not horribly. The 'country store' has a conscience: they don't gouge on the sunscreen. And everyone is very nice. Sure beats standing in line at Disney -- by light years. And depending on the week, it even costs less.
