Great advice for saving time with infants at Parks; sorry Dads

[Respect the Walt.]

I will up front apologize to all fathers ahead of time. On your next visit to the MOUSE I have some great advice to save lots of time. Let the fathers be the ones to change all the diapers while visiting the parks. All the men say WHAT?! The reason: being a father myself I noticed there is never a wait in the mens restrooms for the baby changing area. Now the womens restroom usually always has a line for the changing table. This is a very slow moving line. I actually suggested this to my wife when we took our first back when he was 1. My wife was taking way too long when I could have just zipped in and changed the NASCAR tire; my analogy for changing a diaper. Thus I recommend to all my friends traveling with young ones to this tip. The mothers love it and when they return all the fathers tell me I was actually 100% correct. Enjoy this tid bit all mothers.

Pretty decent advice actually.
You've still betrayed all us men though.

Good advice.

Please turn in your "Man Card" at the nearest receptacle. Thanks!!

But Honestly, Great advice if you are in a time crunch.

I noticed this as well, but my husband said he didn't mind waiting the extra few minutes when it was my turn

At the airport though- he always takes him. SO much faster than every girl in the airport wanting to always pee at the same time.

I fully support this! Of course our DD is way past diaper age

 

[RedDad]

I changed the vast majority of the diapers during our 3 trips with a little one for this very reason. Thankfully those days are over now, and we'll be taking our first post-potty-trained trip next month.

 

[littleroo]

Huh. I didn't think most of the bathrooms had changing tables in the mens room....

 

[lunchbox1175]

I just wouldn't take a child until they were old enough to not need a stroller or a diaper change...talk about saving time!

 

[DRC68]

Good tip! Those are for changing diapers?!? I thought those were there to hold my cocktails. Now get out of Man-town, you traitor! Lol

 

[Kristamouse]

Am printing this out

Actually, we didn't. Our first family WDW trip was when the kids were 5 and 7 so we wouldn't need a stroller. Worked out perfectly. And we've been back many times since!

My husband will often take our daughter into the men's room. No one in there and the women's room has a line out the door.

I am more of a Disney fanatic than my wife. She swore we would not be one of those people who take our kids to Disney every year. Well my son is 3 1/2 and has been 3 times. It grew on her and she loves it now because of him. He is now potty trained so no more diaper changes for him. BUT our twins were just born which means the diaper changes will continue. Their first visit to the MOUSE will be during Mardi Gras 2014. When you take them that little the trip is really for the parents. So now I see 3 more years of diaper changes in my future.

 

[jazznrachie]

Great advice! I'll be showing this to my husband.

What a great idea! There is sometimes a wait in the Ladies' room!

Good call, Dad!!

 

[bethymouse]

Thank God we never had to worry about diaper changes and such when we went w/ the boys. We went starting when they were 3 and we didn't use strollers!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

This sounds so sensible to me. Though being a single mom I started taking my DD when she was nine months and I think she had ESP then because she only needed changed when we were near a baby care center. Must have been some built in GPS, Good Pee Spot. .

 

[Weather_Lady]

We never visited WDW when the babies were infants, but I know my super DH would have been on board with this. He changed most of the diapers, anyway. It was the one contribution he could make, while I was up all day and night pumping, bottling, serving and nourishing the kids with milk that I made myself. With. My. . Changing diapers kind of pales in comparison to that kind of superpower.

We discovered this on our last trip as well. Although, I got a lot of "I'm sure the ladies room is much cleaner" from the hubby. lol
