DISNEY WORLD & ORLANDO
UNOFFICIAL GUIDE
Our
Disneyland adventure began because
my son Alec was very resistant to potty training. We had tried everything,
including bribery with M & Ms, books, and videos, but he refused to give up
his diapers. We were running out of diaper sizes and with a new baby in the
house, diaper duty was getting out of hand. Thatıs when grandma promised Alec a
trip to Disneyland if he learned to use
the toilet. "If you are a big boy, with underpants, I will take you to Disneyland," she said.
Initially, even that didn't work. I was still buying size 5 diapers. But
Grandma persisted, gently reminding Alec with every phone call and at every
visit. "You canıt meet Mickey Mouse in diapers or pull-ups," she
said. Finally at the ripe age of 4 years and 3 months, Alec proudly sported
underwear, and no accidents. It was time to ante up.
2
½ years old and not yet potty trained with an upcoming trip to a Disney Resort? Hold off! Do the training after you
get back and life gets back to normal. Diapers are easier at a
theme park than asking every 20 minutes if your child needs to potty.
"Before
we went, I looked at this page and looked for suggestions to make our trip more
pleasant for the whole family. I have to agree with the diapers for children 7
or under. The lines are very long, and while you wait, it is a guarantee after
waiting a long period of time and just before you get on a ride one of the
little ones has to go. As strange as it was, I brought some diapers along and
they worked out great. My children didn't mind the diapers and we did see alot of older kids in diapers as well. Trust me, diapers
did save the day."
"Always
carry extra diapers or pull ups with you your child might wet their pants in
the long lines. I know that they might not want to be wet all the time that
they are there.
"Anyone
traveling with a young child should pack some diapers. Even if the child is
potty trained a diaper is a must for Disney. Disney has 2 main things
long lines and scary rides. You will be waiting in line for
two hours and all of a sudden the child will need to go potty. Do not worry about what
other people think about an older child in diapers. It is very common for
parents to put their kids back in diapers for a trip to Disney. You can either
have the child wear diapers all day under their clothes or else just put one on
when they have to go potty but you can't take them. Having them wear a diaper
all day will save them the embarrassment of getting diapered
in public and you will never have to worry
about an accident. You will definitely see other
parents doing the same. I have seen children that look to up to age 8 getting
their diapers changed. The child may complain at first but will be grateful later when
they really need to pee."
"I
would strongly suggest bring Pull-Ups or diapers if you are traveling with any
kids under 4 yrs old, they are a must in a waiting line, just before your turn
and "I need to go pee pee mommy" is the
last thing you would like to hear when you just passed an hour waiting time.
And for the trips (by car) do not forget to put a Pull-Ups or diaper, it save
from pee stop, or accident (they fall asleep most of the time so if they are bedwetters you better put them in diapers for the car ride)
I wrote this by experience believe me."
