Are there Family Restrooms in all the parks? And if so, is there a site that lists where they are located?
Thanks!
Thanks!

They are for moms and dads who have a diaper to change, a toddler who needs to potty and to go themselves!
I know that there is one near EE in AK because I used it to dry my underwear and shorts after getting drenched on KRR. It is the only restroom in the park with a dryer.
Don't feel bad about using those restrooms--they are there for families and whomever else feels the need to use them!

All Walt Disney World public restrooms have wheelchair accessable stalls.
Unfortunately the accessable stalls do not always accomodate the size of some individual wheelchairs.
Companion Rest Room locations are where members of the opposite sex can enter the restroom together when assistance is needed. Sometime a wheelchair is unable to fit in the wheelchair stall in the women's or men's rest rooms. Another example would be when an opposite sex person is needed to assist even if there isn't a wheelchair involved such as with an older autistic child with an opposite sex attendant.
Keep in mind that the number of companion restrooms are very limited and should only be used when the regular restroom will not accomodate your needs!

Unless they have changed them since March 2006, they are labeled "Companion Restroom" and they are marked with a wheelchair symbol. They are also not listed on the park maps; the only places WDW lists them are in the WDW Guidebooks for Guests with Disabilities.bamabelle said:Those "companion" restrooms are NOT just for disabled people.

Many of them do not have any diaper changing facilites, but are just a single restroom that complies with ADA wheelchair accessibility standards as far as the size, space and arrangement of the room. None of them have small sized toliets that a toddler could use by them selves; in fact, most have raised seat toilets and all have a variety of grab bars. (and my DD who is 5 feet tall has a hard time getting her feet on the floor sitting on those toilets, so they are not suitable for a toddler to use by him/herself).bamabelle said:They are for moms and dads who have a diaper to change, a toddler who needs to potty and to go themselves!
As was already posted, the regular restrooms in that area have air blowers also. I have dried myself with the air blower in the regular ladies room in that area (and once saw a woman who had stripped down to her underwear in the regular ladies room to dry her clothing under the air blower)bamabelle said:I know that there is one near EE in AK because I used it to dry my underwear and shorts after getting drenched on KRR.
