Bathroom Question for Little Boys

[navyblue8]

My son hates that too. He’s a lot better about it now, but it actually delayed his training a bit-my daughter too. Sometimes not even covering the sensor worked. I was so glad when he started standing. Standing to go helped some with it some because a lot of the time the toilet didn’t “know” he was there and I ended up having to push the button and he could prepare himself. Even after he was trained, sometimes I had to let him out of the stall before flushing or pull his pants up myself because as soon as he was done he put his hands over his ears. Then he went through a phase where he flushed and immediately ran to get behind me

I’ve gotten sound blocking headphones since our last trip where certain things did irritate him. I got them mainly for football games and other events we go to at my alma mater, but they’ll be coming to Disney with us too.

Disney toilets scarred my daughter for life!! The one in our room (Pop) was the worst- especially in the dead quiet of night. It was like 3 years before she would not cry in a public bathroom and now at 8 she is even jittery still. Those suckers are LOUD. In hindsight, I should have sued for emotional distress....

What am I missing, why is that sad?


When my dses were too small to stand, dh would just hold them up.

We were there in September and I found that most of the restrooms offered a child sized toilet. My son was so excited to have one his size!

I'm curious which restrooms?
I have heard of the child size toilets in the Baby Care restrooms, but not in other places.

The Companion Restrooms definetly don't. They are set up for use by people with disabilities and have ADA toilets that are higher than average (17 to 19 inches from floor to top of the seat).

Some, but not all, have urinals also.

Hmm we were there in Sept too and I never saw a child size toilet in the regular restrooms. DS sits on the toilet it was no big deal. The worst part was keeping him away from touching everything (like the ladies disposal bin) in the stall. Yuck. Lots of hand scrubbing!

I never had a problem with the backs of DS's thighs touching a toilet. And I was SO glad we didn't have him stand to pee until he was older and tall enough to not have to do things like stand on feet.

If anything but the back of a thigh touches a toilet seat, you're doing something very wrong, IMO!

So just have him do that. So much easier than the other things.


and I've never once seen a kid-sized toilet at WDW. In the baby center at DLR (since DS was 6.5 when we first went to WDW I've never been in a baby center there) I saw a tiny one, but by that time my tall kiddo was too tall for it! (and getting to a baby center to pee when a small child has to go NOW is difficult)
