Places to pump (breastmilk)

[ptea]

I'm taking DD 5 to the world and leaving baby sister home. Does anyone know of places other than the Baby Care Centers within MK, AK, or MGM where I could pump without disturbing anyone?

Basically, I'm wondering if there are any women's restrooms in the parks that have a bench in them.

Of course, I'll make use of the Baby Care Centers, but we have limited time, and if we're across the park, and there are other options, I'd like to take advantage of them.

Thanks!

I've never seen a bench in any restroom in the parks.

When in tommorowland, you might want to look for this "Rest Stop" type area.

This is my story. I do not currently have a baby, but was waiting on the bench in tommorowland nearby Space Mountain when a Disney guy (in a maroon colored suit jacket) asked me if we would like to rest in an air-conditioned lounge for a few minutes.

Of course I (and my mother and daughter 13) followed. We were escorted behind what I think was possibly Space Mountain to an entrance in the back of that building. There were sofas, tv's comfortable chairs, a bottle warming station I believe a place to get a cool drink if I remember correctly and a toddler play area. This place wasn't labled in any way. It was so "to good to be true" that I had a sneeking suspision that they were going to try and sell us something" we were so well cared for. Still don't know how we got chosen off of the bench to go in but after about 15 minutes we thanked the folks at the desk and left. (No, they never did try to sell us anything

The only thing is this placed is not marked. I never did look for it on a map. Don't know if it was a temporary-trial type thing or if it is always there.

Worth a shot though. Good luck.

I believe what the pp is referring to is a "kiddie concierge" area that they were testing. I heard about it but when dh and I were there in May and in September that area was closed, so I don't think you can count on that being available. Actually I think the Baby Care centers are your best option - you would probably have to use the nursing mothers room since the rest of it is open to both moms and dads. You may also want to contact WDW directly (I'm not sure what number you would call though - maybe someone else here has that information?) Maybe there are areas that would be ideal for that, that I am just unaware of. I also pumped exclusively for my ds but I had weaned from it before we went to WDW so I didn't have this delimma, fortunately. I hope you're able to find somewhere to pump. I really think the bathroom is the last place you should be though - in my mind it's just not a very clean environment (but I totally understand - you do what you must do!)

One nice thing, at least at MK, the BabyCare center is in the central part of the hub, so it's really not too terribly far from wherever you're at. The other parks may be a different story however. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
