I just saw a press release advertising a high end stay and play package targeting children, which promises to create the same atmosphere that the children of presidents and foreign dignitaries receive! The price is almost as staggering as the concept- overnight packages starting at $4,995!
"....The Live Like A First Kid Package includes:
• Overnight in two bedroom Presidential Suite, the chosen home away from home of visiting celebrities and dignitaries
• Personal
“secret service like” detail/escort in chauffeured luxury SUV of
Washington, D.C. monuments and attractions with VIP access. Our security
detail knows every shortcut and side door and makes sure that his
“First Kid” never has to wait in line
• VIP tour of the Newseum – the
Newseum will personally tailor a special tour highlighting presidential
themed exhibits. The Newseum’s 14 major galleries and 15 theaters will
immerse you in the world’s greatest news stories
• Behind the scenes
tour of Mt. Vernon Plantation – see the home of the “First President.”
First Kid and guests of Mount Vernon can visit the Mansion, a dozen
original structures, Washington’s Tomb, and nearly 50 acres of his
extensive plantation, which include beautiful gardens and restored
landscapes
• Private tour of Georgetown Cupcake – includes cupcake
decorating class, a meet and greet with founders Sophie and Katherine,
signed copy of The Cupcake Diaries, DC Cupcake souvenirs, and a dozen
gift-wrapped cupcakes to take home. Georgetown Cupcake was founded by
sisters Katherine Kallinis and Sophie LaMontagne. Both lifelong bakers,
inspired by their grandmothers, Katherine and Sophie opened Georgetown
Cupcake in February 2008 as D.C.’s first and only cupcakery. Watch
Katherine and Sophie in action in DC CUPCAKES, their new TV series on
TLC!

and celebrities which includes signatures, quotes and even cartoon
drawings by President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton and Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, President Jimmy Carter, President George Bush

Barcelona, and more. Learn the background and history behind these
signatures from the hotel’s in-house celebrity and dignitary expert

• Back of the house hotel tour with hotel security to see how the president and heads of state arrive and exit
• Michelle
Obama Shortbread Cookie Amenity. Mrs. Obama’s cookies were a big deal
at the 2009 inauguration, and around the country – so big, in fact, that
this hotel was handing out jars of the cookies to inaugural revelers.
The cookies – 8,000 of them – were created by an interesting
public-private partnership, which was predictive of Obama administration
ideals. Culinary training students from DC Central Kitchen baked the
Ritz shortbread cookies!

• Ritz Kids VIP patriotic backpack
