Baby Care Centers

[jeni1072]

Can anyone fill me in on what all there is at them? My youngest will be 2.5 when we're there in Oct and I don't know what we are going to do about the potty. She's been using it for a while now but will ONLY sit on either the small ones (like daycares & pediatricians offices) or the little portable ones, or our regular one that has the built in toddler seat. She will not go within 10 feet of a regular sized toilet. Any chance that there are these small potties in the baby care centers? That would be a lifesaver, because otherwise I don't know what we're going to do.

I've read in the guide books that there are child size toliets in the baby care center. At least in the MK.

What are the baby stations?

Baby stations are cast member staffed areas in each of the four major parks that are set up for helping you to care for your child. They have changing areas, high chairs for feeding, breast feeding rooms, adult restroom, hot water, sinks for washing, and a room with toys and videos for your older children. These amenities are free for guest of the parks.

In addition, the stations can supply, for a small charge, emergency items that you may have forgotten to take to the park that day. Things such as, formula, diapers, Disney baby clothes, children's medicines, and other small necessities to help you get through the day. Use these stations often to get away from the hustle and bustle of the parks and to get off your feet.

These are not day care facilities so there is no place for your child to nap, but they are a great place to get your baby out of the sun for a few minutes. You will love these stations once you use them.

Where are these Baby Stations?

Magic Kingdom -- at the end of Main Street, behind the Crystal Palace Restaurant on you way to Adventureland. It is tucked away in a small courtyard near the first aid station.

Epcot -- on the backside of the Odyssey Restaurant on the walkway from Test Track to Mexico. This is a very neat station as many times the workers from the Mexican Pavilion come over to relieve the cast members. It is great to talk to them about their travels and country while you are taking a break.

MGM-Studios -- just inside the entrance near guest services on the left as you enter.

Animal Kingdom -- near the Creature Comforts gift shop in the Safari Village on the left side of The Tree of Life.

Btw, have you tried those portable potty seat inserts? I saw one at BRU the other day for about $10. It folds up so it is easier to travel with. Like This

I remember seeing the child size potties at MK & MGM but I'm not sure about AK and Epcot.
hth.

Another thing to consider is there is only 1 Baby Care center at each park and it may not be convienent to get to from where you are in the park. If you are in Toontown when "nature calls" you will have quite a hike to the BBC. Also, most restrooms have what my DD 5 calls "magic potties"-they flush on their own. It completely freaks her out. We travel with post it notes and place one over the sensor before she sits down. We also used to use the fold up potty seat. That was great. We would slip it into a large baggie and then into the bag when she was done. If you are going that route, get one now and practice using it so it is not a shock at Disney. When our DD was 2 we went to Disney and she refused to go to the potty anywhere but at the hotel, not even at the BBC. Rather than make this the issue of the trip, we bought pull-ups and when she went, she'd tell us and we would change her. It fortunately did not affect her potty training once we got home. Good luck.
