Baby Stations?

[kaylie&laurensmom]

Can anyone give me any info on the baby stations at each park? I will be travelling with an 11 month old and a 6 year old. Can we change for dinner here? Are they crowded? What amenities do they provide? Thanks for your help!

How crowded the babycare centers are probably depends on when you're there. I have never seen them terribly busy though. There have always been plenty of changing tables and high chairs to use, but that is just my experience. The one I would think could get crowded at times is at MGM because it seems a little smaller in size than the others.

I have never considered changing clothes there... MK, AK, and MGM all have "private" restrooms and Epcot baby station restrooms has 2 or 3 stalls - but those are usually a lot less busy than the normal restrooms throughout the park. Casual attire is acceptable in all of the restaurants in WDW as far as I know, so you shouldn't have to change if you don't want to bother. You won't be out of place if you're wearing your park clothes. (The one exception may be Bistro de Paris upstairs in the France pavilion).

We loved the baby care centers and they really came in hand, even to just take a break from the heat! We used them for DS and had our DD with us is was about 5&6yo at the times we used them. The one at the MK had a small table and chairs for kids. There were coloring pages and crayons to keep DD busy as well as a tv with videos playing. There were chairs for adults and highchairs for babies. Then there was a changing room with lots of changing tables. They each have that paper roll like at the Dr's office to cover them. There is also a sink in that area. There are breastfeeding rooms with rockers and bathrooms for any family member to use. None of the centers allow strollers inside. They all have micro, fridge, stove, water cooler for family members. For sale are gummies for older kids and all baby items you could ever need. Pacifiers, diapers, baby food, spoons, wipes, all kinds of meds. I was so surprised to see all they had! The one in Epcot was also nice and similarly set up with the same supplies/areas. I seem to remember MK having the most changing tables.

We go in Nov so there are never crowded then. I don't see how you could change for dinner in there. I guess it would be the same as doing it at any public restroom if you used the restroom aththe centers. Then you would have to rent a locker at the park to keep all your clothes in. Seems like a pain. You could either go back to your resort if on property and change for the evening or just wear your same clothes. Almost all the WDW restaurants(except VA and the one mentioned by the previous poster)don't have a dress code. You see most people in the restaurants in their park attire.

Thanks for the info!! I was really speaking about changing my girls for dinner into their princess outfits, Minnie dresses, and their other nicer clothes for dinner; we don't want to ride all the way back to POP then back again. I wasn't sure how the centers were set up - private breastfeeding rooms, etc. A restroom or changing table will work fine though! Sounds like the baby centers are going to be a lifesaver for breaks, feeding, changing, etc!

Thanks again.

The baby care centers are soooo nice! Dim lighting and comfortable chairs for breast feeding, not completely private but, the place was empty most times I was in there...and we vacationed in August and October. Very quiet. Child sized toilets. Dr's office type roll of paper for sanitation on changing tables. Hand washing only sink. Formula, meds, diapers for sale. GREAT! I can not say enough about the cleanliness and quality, I was very impressed. I will use it this time for my 3 year old to use the cute, miniature, clean toilets.

Which Baby Care Center had the mini-toilets? That would be a god-send for my DD I don't remember these.
