I am REALLY missing the Disney parks being open. Even though I didn’t have a trip scheduled during the closure, I’ve had to cancel a lot of amazing trips for my clients and it’s so sad. Plus, you know I’m a bit strange and often open the app just to check wait times. Knowing there is NO ONE there is really depressing.
So today I’ll dig a little deeper into the lesser appreciated areas of the parks - the restrooms! Maybe weird, but what else have you got to do today other than read this? Here are the restrooms to be sure to visit on your next trip. Keep in mind, I’m more interested in highly themed and unique spots - I’m sure there are some options that are great because they’re less visited and more private. That’s for a future post…
My very favorite - Rapunzel’s restrooms in the Magic Kingdom. Also known as the Tangled Toilets, these are my favorite due to the amazing theming. The interior of the restrooms is perfect. The men’s room has frying pans and wanted posters:
The women’s room has a beautiful mural:
The exterior of the restroom is one of my favorite areas in all of Walt Disney World. I LOVE the detail so much!
Next on the list are the restrooms in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Just like every area of that land, you are completely immersed in the story. These restrooms keep you from feeling like you left Batuu and made a rest stop on Earth. My only complaint is that there isn’t really a good counter top here. When I visited this restroom, I had arrived at the park at 3:30 am (Opening Day!) and had worn my glasses. Once the sun came up, I went in to put in my contacts. Tough to balance my case and eyedrops on the ledge of that sink. But I’ll deal with a little inconvenience for such a cool area.
A bathroom that kids will especially love is in Toy Story Land. The funny part of this one is that it’s called the Cooties restroom due to a Cooties box and a Cootie built on the roof. Kids won’t have a clue what that game is I imagine, but it’s fun for the adults to remember. The bright colors and attention to detail sets this one apart.
I have to cheat a bit on this last one because it’s not at Disney - it’s over at Universal. It’s a part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Hogsmeade. The “public conveniences” as the restrooms are called there, have a bit of a surprise. Remember Moaning Myrtle? She doesn’t just haunt the restrooms in Hogwarts, she also hangs out in the Hogsmeade restrooms. Of course, as the rest of the Harry Potter areas at Universal, you’ll feel fully immersed in the story, even in the restrooms.
Now that you know the best places to “go”, let’s get your trip scheduled!! Give me a shout - it’s always FREE to book with me!!
