When I was a kid (in the 60's) I seem to remember that DL used to have small kid sized toilets in the ladies room. I remember them because I was always afraid to use public bathrooms and those little toilets were much less intimidating. Does anyone else remember these or have head about them? I want to say they were in the Fantasyland bathrooms, but I'm not sure.

The two tiny potties are in the changing area in the Baby Care center. Hang a right at the end of Main Street. We always visit the tiny potties at least once each visit. They used to be the only ones my kids weren't afraid of as well.

They won't let you back there without a small child and there are signs asking that only children use them. Who on earth over the age of 4 would want to use a toilet in full view of everyone that requires you to squat 12 inches from the ground?

The ones I'm thinking of were in actual stalls. And I think they were pink. But I'm glad to hear they still have them for the little fraidy cats like me.

Actually there is a sort of swinging door that seperates them into stalls from the general baby changing area, but it is of an height to conceal a 36 inch tall person.

I love that changing area. It was clearly designed in the days of cloth diaper using. There's a huge flushing sink that you can dunk your cloth diaper in and get it really rinsed out. And those lovely chairs for nursing. (yeah, I'm a hippy granola nursnig cloth diaper using mama)

I was a big cloth diaper user with #1 and vowed I'd do it for all three. I started with #2 and I just couldn't keep up with the laundry. I haven't even tried with #3 :(

With #1 I did use cloth at the park a lot but I never used the dunker in BCC.

I don't remember the little potties, but I was born in 1970, so the first trip I'd even remember was probably '73 or '74... I don't remember many details from back then!

Yeah, this reminds me of my Sister. She was a big time eniviroment freak. When she came back from babysitting for my cousin one time, she was in tears. We calmed her down and found out that our cousin was using DISPOSABLE DIAPERS :eek: ....oh the horror :rolleyes: . Less than three years later, my Sister, who actually went into hysterics because someone was using disposable diapers, had a baby. Because labor was so hard, and she was tired she had to use disposables from the get go. She swore she would switch as soon as she "caught up on sleep :rolleyes: "......she must have never caught up because she uses disposable to this day on kid number 2. Reality is so very different from youth idealism :D

I think it's just what you get used to. I used cloth for both and for the second I just never got around to buying disposables and used cloth almost exclusively.

I think it's just what you get used to.

So true. This is probably why the diaper companies give away so many diapers to the parents of newborns....to get you used to using them. They know that the switch will be harder once you are used to a certain way.

I used cloth for my first and then the first time my inlaws tended they used disposable and gave her a pacifier. I have never forgiven them :rolleyes: I continued with the cloth and said it was fine for them to use disposable if they were caring for her but to please stop with the plug. Needless to say, they didn't and she loved her pacifier. I cried. I finally got her off the pacifier and she nursed for a full year. With my second, she nursed until she was about 7 months and then became very ill and was hospitalized. They use disposable so that was the end of cloth. She wasn't eating and had an NG tube for feeding. My milk dried up. That was awful. With the third I think there was too much going on around him and he had almost no interest in nursing. I mourned that for a while and used disposable diapers.

Count me in as a granola nursing tree huggin' mama, well until my last child anyway ;)

All this diaper hijacking has caused this thread to be moved to Parenting! :~D

I am sorry.

I wonder if we start posting about Disney potties if this thread will be moved back?

Are there any potties in Inoventions? I never looked the one time I was there. It would seem to me that restrooms in that building would be a engineering marvel.

Reality is so very different from youth idealism :D

Actually, my choice to use cloth wasn't idealistic or environmental freakish. It was pragmatic. It cost a lot less money to use cloth diapers than disposibles. (I never used a service, I washed them myself.) It's also better for baby's tushie. When I only had one child I had the time to wash the diapers and so forth. When I had two, I still was home enough to deal with the cloth.

As for Pacifiers- I didn't buy any before #1 was born. My lactation consultant told me it was ok to use silicone and not to use orthodontic pacifiers, but I was going to wait a few weeks so there wouldn't be any nipple confusion. Yeah, then we had the second night in the hospital. M had a HUGE need to suck. HUGE. M and S both adored their pacifiers and both nursed until they were 13 months old (S would've gone longer if I would've let him.)

Oh, and sorry for the derail but little potties are a kid thing so even though I'm not the mod who moved the thread, it most likely wasn't just the diaper talk that motivated moving the thread.

MrsG, your profile doesn't betray your age ;) So far my sources are pretty confident that the only little potties have been in the Baby Care Center. The picture quality is horrible but this (http://www.mouseplanet.com/akrock/hello1.jpg) is one view of the little potties.

I'm sure I'll get over it. ;)

My memory of the little potties is very fleeting, so it may not have even been Disneyland. It just sounded like a very Disney thing to do so I just assumed... As for my age - let's just say I am "young at heart". Birthday coming up in December - maybe I'll feel like revealing then. :eek:

All Right Cloth Mamas!! Ds is a cloth-graduate and my rubbermaid bins of diapers are waiting for us to decide on #2!!! I did cloth Ds at DL for his first trip earlier this year. As usual, the only issue is were to put the toddler-sized dirty ones. Luckily we took a big backpack & a stroller witha big basket. It wasn't a huge deal, but that's always my only cloth annoyance.

It's nice to travel lighter right now. My mommy bag is down to JUST an entire change of clothes. LOL.

Actually there is a sort of swinging door that seperates them into stalls from the general baby changing area, but it is of an height to conceal a 36 inch tall person.
I noticed, the swinging door does not meet all the way to the wall...such that it left room for me to stand there and if I had not, he would have been "open" to the room. Does that make remote sense? I'm tired.

In any case, I wish they had little potties that did NOT auto-flush in every bathroom at the park. Just one or two stalls would be key...or if they put them in the corner of a large handicap-accessible stall, even better.

My son peed for the first time in a potty at the BCC at DL! Those little potties are sure cute and he is VERY excited to use them again next week, now that he is potty trained.
