Ours also loved it when they were that age. Having a choice between 2+ hours sitting at California Grill/ Yachtsman's/Artist Point, etc. or having a blast at Lilo's or Sandcastle-they preferred the kids clubs hands down. Our 21 year old just got back from doing the Disney college program a few days ago and I told her about this and she was disappointed also.
I've had several people, not here, take me to task for leaving my child at the Neverland Club. Dear heaven...she was 8!!! She had a ball....probably a better time then she had had with us in the parks! Our traveling companions were a bit nervous about leaving their 8 y/o dd there though! My dd texted me yesterday, to tell me of the closings. She was so disappointed to hear it. Yes, she's 24 now, and works at US. But she has very fond memories of the times she spent at Neverland Club! And feels badly for the kids that won't get that chance now.
I adored spending time with my dd....I'm actually struggling with empty nest at the moment and wish I could go back to those days. But, I would still give her the chance to stay at the club if I could go back in time. As a parent, I realize that my kids need time away from me, and that my dh and I need time away from our kids. We don't always need to be right there, and that sometimes we have to trust others to care for them.
