The Great Post-It Note Toilet Hack

I wish I could remember where I learned this trick to give credit where credit is due because this one has been a lifesaver. It solves the common problem of kids being scared of the automatic flush toilets. If this isn’t a problem you have then this post isn’t for you. If it is read on because I am about to revolutionize your life!

 
My daughter did NOT like these toilets and would only use a public toilet if I could assure her that it was A) a regular flush toilet or B) if I went in the stall with her and covered her ears with my hands the entire time she was in the stall. (requiring some semi- gymnastic moves at times)   My son would flat out refuse to go into a public bathroom no matter how desperate if it had auto toilets.  This, as you can imagine, can severely limit your outings.   That was until Post-It Notes saved us.
 

Simply carry a  pad of the medium size square post it notes in your purse, bag , pocket, attached to your phone or wherever.  When you go into a stall place the post it note overtop of the sensor.  Now it won’t go off until you  (or your child) is ready to exit the stall.  Simple but brilliant. 
​

​Why post this information on a Disney blog?  I am hard pressed to think of a bathroom at Disneyland that isn’t automatic toilets.  And everyone wants a painless bathroom visit at the Happiest Place on Earth.

Thoughts?
Have you used this hack?  Thinking of trying it?  Do you have this problem with your kids?  I can't be the only one.  Let me know.
