Where do YOU change your larger, non-potty trained child?

We will be in the world in about 3 weeks. My 4 1/2 year old ADS son is not yet potty trained and is still in diapers. He can barely fit on the pull down baby changing station tables found in restrooms, with his legs hanging off!

Is there a better place to change him?

Thanks!!!
 
I would use the companion restrooms located throughout the parks. Have a great trip.
 
You can go to one of the First Aid locations; there is one in each Park (including water parks). Not only do they have a companion restroom in each, but they also have beds which can be curtained off. So he will be able to stretch out full length while you change the diaper.
 
I haven't changed a diaper at Disney in a while, but I **think** they they mostly had permanent changing areas-- longer "walled" off sections of a counter, near a sink and a garbage can, as opposed to the pull down things.
 

If your child can stand while being changed, you can use the handicapped stall in any restroom (for the extra space for him to stand and you can move around). Some of the handicapped stalls have a sink right in that stall, most at the Studio and AK, since those are newer parks. If he can stand for changing, you could also use the Companion Restrooms.

If he can't stand for changes, your options are more limited.

Some of the Companion Restrooms have permanent counter type changing tables, but not all have them. They are also all counter height (34.5 inches from the ground), so you may not be able to lift a child that size up that high. Most are at least 40 inches long, although some are shorter (one in The Land is only 28 inches long). Some are up to 56 inches long.
Here is a picture of one from Epcot:

This thread has more information about Companion Restrooms, including pictures and measurements of the ones at Epcot - I haven't finished the other parks yet. So much to do, so little time.

As mentioned, First Aid has a Companion Restroom (some are small and none have a changing table). You can also use a room with a cot in First Aid for changing. Some of them are in actual rooms, with a door that can be shut and some have a curtain. All would provide a degree of privacy.
The height of the cots vary and there are some rooms which have an adjustable height cot.

They do.
The only ones with the pull down changing tables would be very small bathrooms.
 
When my son was younger and not potty trained yet I liked using the first aid stations. It was less hectic, and more importantly gave him a degree of privacy. Even tho he didn't speak, I always tried to think that in his shoes I wouldn't want my bits and pieces out there for a world of strangers to see.
 
Our son Broc is 8 and not potty trained yet, we just returned from WDW last week and did as other suggested. We either used the companion restroom or more often we changed him standing up in the regular bathroom stalls. We do this at home (not at our house but local) so it wasn't a big deal for us.
