Disney World Quick Tips – Preserving Space for Large Families

I am one of those people who will do whatever it takes to stay on property when we visit Disney. I love the Disney resorts as they are a big part of the magic for me. But as much as I enjoy the theming, the ambience, and the convenience of being close to everything, there is one thing I have an issue with at the Disney resorts – the bathrooms.

I have stayed at value, moderate and deluxe resorts. The size of the bathroom is usually adequate and last year, at the Contemporary Resort, we even had a private toilet area with a door that closed to the rest of the bathroom. What’s my problem then? Well, as you might deduct from this picture, there is not enough counter space.

Plus, I have a family of five including: my husband, myself, a 26-year-old son, a 21-year-old daughter and an 18-year old son. We all have necessities when it comes time to being fresh and clean, not to mention our primping needs. We have many products for brushing, flossing, moussing and deodorizing. We need a place to put it all!

Luckily, I have a way to overcome this deficiency while creating more space and greater efficiency for our time and needs. It is the shoe organizer.

We each have our own row (that is 4 large slots each). We traditionally assign rows according to height so my youngest son gets the top row because he is tallest, and my daughter gets the bottom row because she is vertically-challenged. Everyone organizes their things the way they want and it makes getting ready in the morning much smoother.

I have used this trick for several years and it has worked out really well. The only issue I have run across is that the bathroom doors at a couple of the moderate resorts were quite thick, so I bought extra large hangers to use when faced with that problem. My organizer was especially easy to hang last year because the Contemporary has a metal ladder-type rack for hanging towels, which served me perfectly when hanging my shoe organizer.

If you have a large family, including teens with lots of special products, this should really help you. Everyone knows how hard it is to get everyone up and ready for a day at the parks. Hassle-free mornings and getting to the park earlier is what my vacation is all about!
