Disney Hotel babysitters

Going off to Florida for a couple of weeks, staying in Disney at the Animal Kingdom lodge.

The hotel offers in room babysitting and I must say I am tempted, as it would be great for me and DH to have some quiet meals together, or with DS1 who is 4.

DS2 is very restless, does not like restaurants ( hes only 8 months!) and we would rarely get to eat a meal in peace, never mind quiet time.

One part of me says I cant leave DS2 with a total stranger, and the other says well the baby sitters will be vetted by disney, and he will most likely be asleep anyway.

Does anyone have any experiance of in hotel baby sitting? Or even specifically disneys animal kingdom lodge?

What is everyones thoughts on this? would you leave your child with a sitter in above circumstances?
Thanks

Sorry, went to disneyworld for my honeymoon when I was child-free so no relevant experience. Just wanted to suggest that I'd be happy to meet up with you, say a week before the holiday, then you could pay to take me along as a built in babysitter. How does that sound?

I was a Butlins baby sitter and although we all had police checks some were very inexperienced. We did our best to match up the more experienced ones with younger kids and babies but it didn't always work. I would check exactly what checks and training are done.
