Both of my girls made their first trip to Walt Disney World before they were fully potty trained. The thought of jumping out of line and running to the nearest restroom every time nature called was unappealing at best (although we did our best to take them quickly to a restroom when possible). Our solution, and today's Thursday's Tip: put your child in a pull-up if there's any doubt he/she can wait five minutes to use the potty.
Even if your child rarely wears pull-ups at home these days, vacations can disrupt your normal potty training routine. And sometimes the wait at the nearest restroom can exceed five minutes. Unless your child deeply objects, you will save yourself much grief by using this safety measure while touring the parks.
I am by no means recommending that you stop potty training and simply give up while on vacation! Instead, I like to think of pull-ups as a little insurance policy, guaranteeing you won't spend the day dealing with accidents.
I second this!! We just went to Disney in Dec and my son had started potty training in Oct. We were in line for the Pirates of the Carribean ride when he told me he had to go potty!!! Had he not been wearing a pull-up (which he usually only does at night) we would have been in trouble!!!
