[quote=Anonymous]I'm not an Au Pair, but I have been on family vacations before.

Disney: There were two rides I really wanted to go on (pirates and haunted mansion). The family made sure I got to go on those two rides. Aside from that, I was fine with tagging along with them to the various shows/rides. 
If it was a ride the adults really wanted to go on, I waited with the kids so they could go (I don't like roller coasters). I had a friend working at the themepark, so they gave me a night off so I could have dinner with her. Another day, there was a show I wanted to go see in Animal Kingdom, so they gave me a few hours to myself to go see the show.

For your Au Pair, it might be a good idea to let her know you'll have a pass for Magic Kingdom (or whichever park) and she can look online at the different rides. Maybe there are some she'd really like to try, and others she doesn't care about missing.

Beach: similar setup. One day I got to go off for a few hours with the car so I could go shopping at the outlet mall. When the kids napped in the afternoon, I had free time to myself (which I spent napping too, usually!) 
A couple of nights if they were having family time with movies or games, I'd go off by myself to unwind and relax. 
And one night I stayed behind with the kids while the parents went out for an adult dinner.

Hope that helps a little?[/quote]
