Thank you for your help but I do not believe in having someone I don't know babysitting my child.
I believe you are setting yourself up for a major disappointment.
I know that you asked
could you bring children to the chef's table and not
should you bring children. However, I feel I need to give you a little bit of unsolicited advise on the unasked question. If your child is too small for the kids club and you are too nervous about getting a sitter, then s/he is too small for
you to enjoy the Chef's Table to its fullest. Many of the people who have posted here have been to the Chef's Table, so we know what we are talking about. It is an adult experience and one that will get old fast for any child between 9 months and 12 years of age. An infant might sleep though it, a toddler would be a nightmare and an elementary age child would get bored coloring and playing with their Gameboy by the time they are done with the amuse bouche.
Of course, since the Chef's Table is private, any cranky, crying, squirming, whiny, bored behavior would be limited to your room. If you insist on bringing your child to the Chef's Table, only you will be effected by his/her behavior. But why risk it? Why put your child in a no-win situation? Why set yourself up for a frustrating and
expensive evening? Disney World will be here when your child grows up and can attend the kids club. Victoria and Albert's will be there too. If you're celebrating a special occasion, consider one of the "Signature" restaurants instead. Your meal will be half the price, take half the time and be half as stressful.
