Kiddotel

Now that T is mobile, we're learning that traveling with him is quite an adventure. With that in mind, I'd love to create the Kiddotel. Kiddotel would cater to families with kids of all ages. I'm thinking it would have to be in a kid mecca like Orlando. It would also be Hawaiian-themed. Again, because I said so.

Kiddotel would have a variety of hotel suites featuring twin beds, cribs and kitchenettes. Many would be baby-proofed, and they'd all come with a Wii. Guests will receive a lei upon check in and the room mini-bars will feature juice boxes and milk in addition to soda and beer.

The first floor would have an indoor/outdoor sea-turtle shaped pool (with waterslide), hot tub and kiddy pool. There would also be an indoor playground, gameroom, gym (with staffed nursery), and 2 restaurants. One restaurant would be staffed Ed Debevic's-style (probably not quite so snarky since trama meltdowns are poor for business). The wait staff will break out in nursery rhyme skits, songs and other silliness. The other restaurant will be a bit more "Dave and Barry's" for those with older kids or the crazies who didn't realize what they were getting into. It'll have a karaoke station and a bar (well stocked with adult beverages). A separate area will be a teen dance floor to cater to the awkward vacation romances that inevitably occur.

The front desk will offer stroller rental and there will be a shuttle to area attractions featuring car seats of various sizes. The lobby will be stocked with fishtanks full of tropical fish and lotsa crazy flowers. There will also be a spa with traditional adult type services (manicure/pedicure, massage, facials) and hair braiding, henna tattoos and face painting. It'll be the ultimate vacation destination for increasing numbers of families who travel with their children.
