Based upon your experiences...how frequently to plan potty breaks at WDW

[ClarissaG]

Taking newly potty trained DS in October. He doesn't really have accidents but can be shy, wait until the last minute or "forget." What is your approach to bathroom breaks and how do you decide when to take them? Also, any other travel potty training advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Excited but nervous :/

We go on a few rides and when we walk by a bathroom we stop.

No rhyme or reason to it.

Also when one person has to go, EVERYONE has to try (honestly, I've had to enforce this rule more because of grownups than children).

Common sense? There really is no need to plan a bathroom break, there is always a bathroom nearby. Go before getting in a long line or sitting down for a show. Other than that, we go every couple of rides with a little one or before an especially long line. Also at every meal before we head back in the park.

Hi the bathroom right before you get in a line (at least once every hour-hour and half...more on the shorter side for a newly potty trained little one). And as someone else said: when someone has to go EVERYONE goes, like it or not.

When our girls were little, we would do a potty break before every other ride...just to be sure.

There is nothing worse than being in line and hearing "I have to go to the bathroom....".

We don't plan stops. If we are walking by and someone has to go, we all go. Or if we know that we are going into a show or a long line we make a stop first. I wouldn't stress yourself out about it.
