I wish the parks had at least 1 toilet that was fully accessible. Weve been sent to first aid before but my husband said their toilets were the worst. Not enough room for sons wheelchair in the cubicle.

My husband has a find toilet app on his phone which I have used in The US a lot .
I don't have a medical condition apart from being of "that age" but if I needed the loo desperately for a condition I would use the disabled one.

I have, on two occasions, actually announced rather loudly "Please let this lady in next" on behalf of ladies who were doubled up in pain with needing to go. I think I have one of those voices which people obey (or are too confused to wonder what is going on) and my request is honoured. Fortunately, I have never had to do this on my own account but I'm getting to that age ...

Might be an idea to download the park maps to familiarise himself with where the toilets are and as previously suggested obtain a map upon entry. If comfortable using, or finds reassuring to have, could always order a "Just can't wait card" but from our recent experience I don't think he will have an issue. On the odd occasion there was an obvious queue at the ladies - we used the disabled toilets. I took our radar key with me but it was not required.

Wow, this is fantastic, thank you so much for all the replies. I’m feeling a lot more confident about it myself now and I know my Dad will too. I’m actually going to print out these replies and show him. I’ll also make a point of ensuring I always know where the closest toilets are for him. Hopefully he will be able to just go ahead and used the disabled ones without any issue!

Thanks again so much! Such a weight off my mind!

Also if you don't know where the nearest toilet is. Always ask the nearest cast member, they are great at directions. I have done this quite a few times myself.

We didn't have any issues when the boys needed the toilet. They were in and out. The ladies toilets on the other hand were a bit ridiculous at times.

Always remember of course that if you ask 'cast members', they would know toilets as rest rooms! Would anyone want to rest in there? I wouldn't!

Cast members! Of course! Haha

I've shown him this thread and he feels much better about the whole thing now! No more talk of not doing parks... so once again... THANK YOU ALL!
