I'd like a kids meal for my....er, I thought you had him dear.

Be careful judging? I'm disabled. I do not judge people to try to determine disability by looking at them.

But as fast as the two of them disappeared there is NO way that they were disabled. Impossible. They ran off.

Yes, they can prevent it. Do you think they let people go into those restrooms to have sex at say, a major ballpark? No way. I have seen it they have keys and let people in and out of handicapped access family bathrooms.

Do I expect Disney to park people outside every one they have? Unrealistic. But something surely can be done to try to prevent misuse of those facilities.

You know, I don't think I fit in here as well as I thought I did. I don't get the responses these days.

And people were all pissy with me for saying that if I feel like kissing my husband in the park, I'd do it. But people having sex in the handicapped accessible bathrooms is funny. Huh.

I must have just graduated from SGT poster to SG, or maybe my skin isn't thick enough to really belong here. This thread has hurt me in ways I can't explain and I wouldn't expect anyone to understand.

Peace ya'll. I wish you endless days at the parks free from SG's like me- a disabled guest who would like to use the disabled guest bathrooms in the park without having to wait for people to finish having sex.

Take care, everyone.

You cannot take everything on these threads so seriously. I use an ECV and Ralph just bought me my first wheelchair. So I have my own now, staring at me from the foot of the bed every morning. I KNOW what it is like to be disabled and have to wait for the disabled restroom. But there is not much one can do about the people who misuse the family restrooms. I don't know what could be done to stop the misuse.

Keys? What about my friend who needs assistance? Would they hesitate to give him and his girlfriend the key just because they were a couple going in there? Probably. They cannot allow one couple in and not another. But he NEEDS the help.

We laugh at SG's here. That is what the board is about. People having sex in a public restroom is an SG thing to do. It certainly is not acceptable in my eyes either, but I have to laugh at it and other SG tricks. If you let the things that SG's do get to you and make you angry, then you are just going to be unhappy all the time. This site is for CM's to let off steam. And those of us who are not CM's (but would LOVE to be) are here to support them.

I have to agree that the ignore button is very useful. If you don't like this thread, you should avoid it. But there are plenty of fun threads to read and post in.

You are well liked here and we will miss you if you don't stay. You just cannot let everything here get under your skin.

Also, I did not say that the couple who came out were NOT having sex. If they were, shame on them!!

I just gave an example of a person I know who has a DISABILITY of his own and needs assistance when he is in that restroom. THAT is what that restroom is for, yes? And he could easily be judged because he does go in with his girlfriend and it would probably raise some eyebrows.

I meant to say that none of us should be so fast to judge what someone may or may not be doing. I meant no insult to you. I am sorry if it came across that way.

I hope you decide to stay, because you have a lot of interesting stories and a unique take on things.

It would be nice to have a changing room for the costume parties but would that actually stop moms from using the restrooms. Doubt that.

There are many hidden disabilities and many CMs in parks so I will leave people having sex in the companion bathrooms to security. Maybe they were not having sex but were um um I dont know.

[Cheshire Figment]

One problem we see in the disABILITIES Forum is that, for example, there are only six companion restrooms in the Magic Kingdom. That means that for certain people there are only six toilets they can use in the entire park. One of these is in Cinderella Castle, which unfortunately, is misused.

Years ago they normally had that restroom locked, and you had to get a key from one of the people at the podium. I would like to see them go back to that; either seeing a person in a wheelchair (or with a "stroller as wheelchair" tag) or having a GAC indicating they have special needs.

I would see no problem with two adults going in together if one of them was in a wheelchair; then it would be fairly obvious that the person in the chair would (or might) require transfer assistance.

[Princess Susi]

But what about my friend who need assistance with his disability? It is not something people can see but it is a disability, believe me. It is serious! None of you here would want to be in his shoes. If he is NOT in a wheelchair, would he still have the ability to use the bathroom with a female friend? A male friend would just be...too weird helping him with it.
To give you an idea what he has to go through, he has to carry a backpack around to hold just the supplies he needs with his condition. He says that four hands are a LOT easier to deal with what he has to do then doing it by himself. Where would that leave him?
I ask bcause we WILL be coming to the Parks with him when we come in May, he lives in Orlando and loves Disney. His girlfriend broke up with him and so now I may be the one helping him. Of course if I am on my ECV (which has already been taken care of and reserved for me for the entire trip and this was done by the wonderful Platinum pkg co-ordinator at the Polynesian, Thanks you so much Jeffrey!) then my being on a ECV would be disability enough to get into that restroom and help him. But if I were not there and he needed to bring a friend along, what could he do? Would they allow couples in the restroom?
Just curious.

Disney legally cannot question a guest on their disability unless the guest is getting a special priviledge such as the National Parks free admission thing.

A person could be physically fit but have mental limitations for example or be blind. A diabetic person may need help with the shot but be able to run a mile. There are people who look healthy that have colostomy bags for example. Two men going into a restroom does not look as weird as a woman an man to me. Also in California any two people may go into a restroom if one of them is diabled. yep a man and a woman can use either gender's restroom.

I believe that the ADA allows it, and I don't think anyone would say anything. Its like the couple in the bathroom, you can think whatever you want, but if you don't know for sure, I would reserve judgement. (but sometimes, things do seem funny!)

[acourtwdw]

Okay, I am going to confess to using the handicap/family restrooms. I don't have a disability. I have the bladder of a squirrel and usually cannot wait.
( I know TMI) If there is a line and those are open, I am going to use them. Sorry if that offends anyone, but so would the would not using them.

I believe "Squirrel Bladder" is a recognized disability by Doctors and the ADA :p:
So is "Canary Butt".......Don't Ask!

Does that have something to do with talking alot, when you should be running?

or some other affliction?
