Restroom Changing Advice - HELP!!!

[SonicGuy]

We only take our special needs DD12 every couple of years on our Disney trips. We are taking her this trip - next week.

Any suggestions for safer and more sanitary places for changing her? She is 12, non verbal, non ambulatory, and changing her is a major struggle for my wife. Changing tables are too small, she's going through puberty and needs some privacy.

Any experiences or ideas?

Thanks so much

There is a First Aid in every park. They would be your best bet.

They have private rooms with cots or tables that would large enough to change an adult on.
When you go to First Aid, there is a reception/waiting area with a desk. They will ask you to sign in, just so they can get a count of people who are using First Aid each day. Let the person at the reception desk what you need and they will assign an appropriate room for you.

I told my wife you'd be the one to answer.

Thanks

Here's a picture too.

This was at the Studio, but they all have roughly similar facilities.



First Aid is really the only place if she needs to lie down to change. Some of the Companion Restrooms have changing tables, but I would say it's much less then 1/2 of them. Most of the ones that do have changing tables are the regular pull down kind you see in places like McDonald's. Many of those seem to be set lower than average to be accessible for a parent to use while sitting in a wheelchair.
Some of them have a more sturdy permanent 'shelf' but those will likely not be long enough even for a small 12 yr old.

AS always - thanks so much!
