Favorite Potty at Disneyland/DCA?

[pineapple04]

Hello! This may seem like an odd question, but what are the best restrooms for a toddler in DL? We are taking our soon to be 3 year-old son in January. He's mostly potty trained, but often finds it easier to do his business if the restroom is clean, quiet, and relatively distraction-free. (I know, really difficult in the middle of a theme park!)

I have heard good things about the Baby Care Centers in both parks, but am open to additional suggestions.

Thanks!

The Hungry Bear restroom was pretty deserted the last few times I went there. There's also one located near Autopia, behind Star Wars Launch Bay that doesn't get too much traffic.

I've also heard it mentioned on the board a few times that it helps to carry a few Post-Its with you to cover the automatic flusher sensors.

hungry bear for sure is very quiet, it is off the path of traveling to the next attraction. Avoid the entrance to Adventureland bathroom and the NOS bathroom is very crowded and maze like and probably the worst at Disneyland. There is also a quiet bathroom across from Small World store near the outdoor theater area when the theare is not being used. Avoid the bathroom in the space mountain area, it is large but very busy. The bathroom at the entrance to Frontierland by Fantasyland is also a hidden bathroom that tends to be quiet. And for sure the bathroom on the way to the tomorrowland train station.

The single room/family restrooms can be helpful for situations like this. The ones by Flo's in Cars Land are the first that come to mind. Youngest used those quite often, and the extra privacy helped get the job done more quickly. You can ask at any Information Kiosk for a list of all the family/companion restrooms in the parks.

I just want to add that many times there are lines at the restrooms, but there are several open stalls around the corners from where people can see. If you have a toddler and need to get to the potty quickly, I'd skip the line and walk around the corners to get to an open stall.

My favorite is the one to the left of the entrance of the Tiki room.
No one seems to know it's there!

If he’s under 42 inches they have little potties in the Bsby Care Center on Main Street. They are great for little ones. There doesn’t seem to be a night limit on the little potty in the Baby Care Center in DCA (next to Ghirardelli).

I love the private bathroom behind the "Tours check-in booth" next to City Hall in DL. Typically at DCA, I will exit to GCH and use the restrooms there. The restrooms near Paradise Grill near Goofys are usually always empty!

There was a family restroom in bugs land. I assume it will be there when the re-theme opens.

My favorite its theme is the one by Alice in Wonderland. I love the "card" doors. It has always been my favorite

I find the bathrooms by Hungry Bear to be busy with people drying off from Splash! The quietest bathrooms are the ones by Alice, and the busiest are the ones at the entrance to Adventureland. Over at DCA, Flo's is good, as are the bathrooms by Toy Story Midway Mania and on Hollywood Blvd. by Off The Page. I believe there's also bathrooms near Monster's Inc, which are probably fairly quiet, but don't quote me on it as I'm not 100%.

There's a family bathroom at Hungry Bear at the bottom floor that would be good. I bring both my kids there when i'm in the parks by myself. If you're in DCA the Child Care center is great and i second the option to go to the Grand californian.

Thank you all for the GREAT tips--I really appreciate it! Will be adding these to my trip planning book!

If you happen to be in the area of GRR near the DCA entrance to the GCH, they have extra nice restrooms in the hotel lobby. Each one is a little private closet with nice wallpaper and privacy.

I like the restroom just inside the Grand California near Whitewater snacks

 

[Lm3js]

The ones in DCA by Paradise Garden grill are usually pretty quiet or were.. not sure now that the new rides went in over that way.

 

[pineapple04]

Thank you very much!!

Agree! It also has nicer toilet paper and is usually fairly quiet!

OP: Just be aware that by the time of your trip, some of these restroom locations may be gone or not open because of construction/refurbs/remodels/etc. You can always ask CMs at the Information Kiosks if you have any questions about locations.

There are 2 companion restrooms beside the tiki room entrance, they're off to the left and are nice and quiet
