Last year when we took our still-in-training 4 year old to the parks, we learned that he had an increasing (and upspoken) anxiety about Space Mountain. He pleaded us to take him on (he was tall enough). Beforehand, I took him to the boys' room to make sure his plumbing was clear. Even though we had fastpasses (short line) and even with the pitstop, we were dismayed when we heard some water pouring on the ground as he stood on the number cue spots right before we boarded.
Many thanks to the castmember who didn't futher upset my near-tears child and exaspirated wife. He ushered us to the exit quickly and without consternation. They cleaned the place up in a jiffy. We cleaned him up and put on his "emergency outfit" that we always had with us for the occasional thunderstorm or worse.
Anyhow, a couple of days later we were waiting in the Test Track preshow when my little one once again give us the "5 seconds anxiety to catastrophe" look. With no chance to make it to the bathroom and no desire to ruin the carpet, my wife whipped out a plastic sandwhich bag and (with no one the wiser) let my little guy do his deed.
I took him on the ride and she took the little bag of joy to the bathroom. A CM even gave her a ride swap so we could all ride together later.
Now, we wouldn't let our kid drop a duece in public, or sprinkle in public like the kid at Phillharmagic, but if you have potty trained a child, especially a boy, you'll know you sometimes have seconds to act before it is too late.
I think some wee-wee in a baggie is better than wee-wee on the Test Track carpet!
