Restroom Tips / Information

At times our son needs one of us to accompany him to the restroom. As a result, we need to use a Companion or Family restroom. In addition, many people with sensory issues are frightened of automatic flush toilets and/or loud hand dryers. For these reasons, we’ve tried to indicate where the companion restrooms are located in each park and also if the restrooms have automatic flush toilets and/or loud hand dryers. Check each park's map for baby care centers and service animal rest areas.

We received a great tip from Sharon R about the automatic flush toilets "...We brought small sticky notes in her potty bag (Clorox wipes, reward stickers, Cottonelle wipes, hand wipes, etc). We covered the sensor with one sticky note before she sat down, and voila: silent toilets! We didn't take it off until she got up and back into her wheelchair."
