A recent report from a Disney guest has raised concerns and sparked a heated discussion about the changes made to the nursing room at EPCOT. According to the guest’s account shared online, the previously female-only nursing room at the park has now been converted into a “quiet room,” allowing anyone to enter. The guest, who was at EPCOT to pump breast milk, expressed discomfort with the change, highlighting the difficulty of finding a private space in the park for this purpose.“I generally use the nursing mothers’ room, but today I was told it was now a ‘quiet’ room, and anyone could enter,” the guest shared. “I understand breastfeeding isn’t inherently sexual, but as someone who exclusively pumps, I don’t feel comfortable doing it around most people. The nursing rooms provided a space where I could pump privately, and now I have nowhere to go.”Credit: DisneyDid Disney Change Policy?The Epcot nursing room, which was previously a designated area for nursing mothers, was one of several such rooms across Disney Parks. These spaces were set up to provide a private, comfortable area for parents to breastfeed or pump without feeling uncomfortable in public spaces. However, the guest’s account indicates that the room is now a shared space for anyone seeking quiet time, rather than a space reserved for mothers.The report, shared online, notes that other parks, such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, still feature nursing rooms that are separated by gender. The guest’s concern is particularly centered around privacy for those who need to pump, as they described their experience of using a wearable pump and the lack of counter space in public restrooms, leaving them “juggling and praying” not to make a mess.Epcot nursing room no longer female only? byu/Willing_Beat8835 inWaltDisneyWorldDisney Makes No AnnouncementWhile no official statement has been made by Disney regarding the reported change, some guests have stated that their experiences in the nursing rooms have remained the same, with the rooms still being female-only as in the past. It seems that the adjustment may be specific to certain locations or could be an unannounced trial period.Others, however, have praised the inclusion of a more inclusive quiet space, recognizing that there may be single parents or non-female-presenting individuals who would also benefit from a quiet space to feed their infants. “I understand the need for both privacy and inclusivity,” one commenter wrote. “But there should still be options that cater specifically to those who prefer female-only spaces for nursing.”Credit: DisneyAs of now, Disney has yet to address these claims or confirm any permanent changes to the nursing room policies at EPCOT or other parks. It remains to be seen whether this new practice will be extended across other locations or if Disney will revert to the traditional layout that catered to female-only nursing areas.For now, guests who rely on these spaces for privacy while nursing or pumping may need to prepare for potential changes in their experience at Disney Parks.The post Guest Claims That Disney Has Made Nursing Rooms Gender Neutral appeared first on Inside the Magic.
