One of the reasons keeping me from doing so is bathroom issues. I really dont into the Men's Bathroom with my daughters. So my questions is, is there a "family" restroom I could take my daughters into while we are at the land? I have never really noticed one there at all. Of course my hopes in going with my daughters alone would be praying that I dont have to use the restrooms my self Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!!!

I would just like to tell you freshpopkorn that I think it is wonderful that you are going with your DD's and without mom. MORE DAD's need to get off their lazy duff and do this, especially those with daughters. They need time one on one, or two on one as the case may be, with dad. It also says a lot about you as a father to be willing to step up and teke them without mom. Wonderful thing you are doing, keep up the great work, dad!

Always a great place for a pit stop, especially on a hot day as it is very cool in there with the air conditioning...and it's very clean usually.

And I have been startled in the ladies room with little boys actually peeking under the stalls. Maybe a letter writing campaign is in order here. And kudos to you for taking on this monumental task. I never took my kids to Disneyland alone. The thought would have overwhelmed me. (I did take my 18mo granddaughter last year and it was quite a task.) But there were no bathroom issues with that. Good luck and let's get them thinking about the need for family facilities.
