Are there sinks for toddlers or smaller kids? Just wondering how WDW set this up

mjkacmom · 11-17-2009, 03:40 PM

I don't think so - I remember being there was 2 four year olds, and a short 6 year old, and having to keep lifting them up, wondering why there weren't sinks at lower levels.

I was in the restroom at the Polynesian yesterday and there was a very low sink next to the adult-height sinks; I was very impressed!!!

They werent when I was there this summer, but they are clean and the stalls are big enough for both of you to fit in. :-)

I don't remember any low sinks either. You think they would have some since there are so many kids in WDW!

They do have low sinks, just not quite low enough. My 3 year old (tall for her age) had to stretch to reach the water, and I had to get the soap for her. The changing tables are odd, too. Some are so small you have to put the kid in a yoga position to change a diaper and others are so big I could have changed Grandpa on it!

I remember a lot of low sinks. DD5 was so excited to use all of them!

Lots of low sinks in the bathrooms but the soap is still hard to reach for the little ones. Not in all bathrooms but most.

If you have a little one who hates the HUGE flush,
like our local Target,
bring some post-its to cover the auto sensor.

Take the post-it with you as you exit & toss it in the trash
before washing your hands

Great advice. We ended up using Mickey stickers the last time we were there for the same purpose!

ah yes--the great, child-eating automatic flushing toilets. My DD is terrified of them. Post-its do the trick!!

Some restrooms have lower sinks, but they are designed with wheelchairs in mind.

Some bathrooms have step stools too!
