Showers at the POP for children's bath time

[Sam&Alex&Josh'sMOM]

Sorry about the long title..

We stayed at the POP last year... but I just don't remember..

Do the bath/showers at the POP have the longhose and shower head? The type that make it easier to wash your children's hair and rinse it out? Or are they the type that are just a shower head?

If so... how did you manage washing your children's hair and rinsing out the soap.

Silly question... I know.

The mods & deluxes have regular shower heads so I imagine the same goes for Pop.

I don't have kids but when I was little my mother used the tub faucet to rinse out our hair until we were old enough to get the head tilting thing straight.

I've always just had my children lay back and tilt their head back to rinse their hair out, ever since they were babies. However, you could always use the faucet or bring a large cup from home to pour over their head to rinse. Good luck.

A suggestion...
Day 1, buy a popcorn in a souvenir bucket.
Use the souvenir bucket to rinse their hair in the tub!

Hmm...not sure what the set up is. Our kids have always taken showers...since they were babies and I held them in there with me. Makes it easy to wash out their hair that way. I think they've had a handful of actual "baths" in their lives. Deprived, I know They do shower daily though

My kids both shower but when they were really little and took baths, we rinsed their hair by having them lean back and using one of the plastic cups that they provide with the ice bucket to rinse with water from the spigot. The shower heads are fixed and do not have a hose attachment.

It's funny the things we do for our kids...and the discussions parents will have. We had been doing the bring a small cute, dollar store pal from home and that's been kinda fun. This year we're practicing "big girl" showers

Regular shower heads at Pop Century. Not sure if a handicapped room (shower only) has the hand-held showers or not--haven't stayed in those rooms.

My mother used a large tumbler (glass) to rinse my hair and had me hold my head back. Didn't love it, but it worked!

I was just there in May with my toddler. I just used a big plastic cup to rinse out her hair. Didn't seem to be a problem not having the hose sprayer.... Just bring your own bubble bath or you can use some shampoo in the water for the same effect I guess!

My wife and I had a King bed room last year at POP with the roll in shower and they had the flexible shower heads on the long hoses. Just so you know.

Thank you everyone! There will be screaming, but I think the tip back the head and use a pail thing is the way to go. Sorry to any POP room neighbors... by kids have got LUNGS! and neither like baths!

Thanks for all the responses!

When my son was younger and had some sensory issues and would freak at taking a bath or shower anywhere away from home, my husband used to take a hand held shower nozzle and his pliers on vacation and change out the shower head while we were there so we could do a speed bath on him.........

But now the best solutions seems to be that my son gets in the shower with Dad and my daughter gets in the shower with me.

We have also done the big plastic cup rinse method also.

We do the plastic cup and home and at WDW. It works pretty well, and DD keeps her head tipped up (I tell her to look at the ceiling) so none of the soap gets in her eyes.

At Bed Bath and Beyond and other places you can buy the rubber hand held shower head/hose that fits over the end of the faucet in the tub.It works great.

I used to use these to bath my dog before I lived in my house that has built in hand held shower heads.

I was at POP in April and they have fixed shower heads.
A suggestion, why don't you start now haing your kids wash their hair in the shower. Maybe by the time you take your trip your kids will be use to it and not put up a fuss. Most kids adjust easily.
