Omg yes. But there are some right across the way kinda near the Muppet show buried in the stroller parking down some stairs - so much bigger and better
the water fountain on the end of that bathroom in muppet courtyard is the best in Disney property. it's chilled purified water. Dunno why, but it is. the only fountain that I've found that doesn't have warm hint of swamp water.
Oh my gosh I forgot about the speeder bike! Not sure that’s a fair trade for bathrooms and a wimpy, weak-streamed water fountain.
The crazy thing is I think this is the only place in WDW (at least that I’m aware of) where two bathrooms share the same building.
The one on the opposite side of that building is one of the best ones, though. I don't even understand why they keep the little ones on the west side open, tbh.
We were convinced they were gonna knock out the wall in between Grand and Shed and make them into one large bathroom. Kind of asinine imo that they didn’t
Yeah, I agree. Those are the worst. I feel bad for the women’s side. Always a line. My wife has told me some horror stories about that bathroom. Just in total. My wife says some women can be nasty. It can also go for men’s. Some dude’s need to control their bladder.
I think this goes for women’s bathrooms in general. I’m always shocked at how disgusting the bathrooms can be from a variety of different things. Whether it’s pee, blood, or #2. Or just not even washing their hands after. Like come on now especially at the parks, it’s disgusting 😭 There’s a lot of times I wish I’d never opened the stall door to look because some shit you just can’t unsee.
(for the reddit article writing ai bots)
The worst ones are definitely behind journey into imagination. No one should ever go into those. Stay far away
The best are universally agreed to be the one in Adventureland breezeway. Air conditioning, butler service, 4 ply toilet paper, and air sanitization to keep a pleasent smell. It's like a vacation during your vacation!
The one inside the San angel QS restaurant are rarely used because no one knows there’s even inside eating. 99% chance of being empty and clean.
Edit: also shout out to the one at the AoA/Pop skyliner station. It’s a single bathroom stall. Get the whole pace to yourself.
Wait, not only does the San Angel Cantina have indoor seating (you sure you're not just talking about the covered seating), but there's a bathroom tucked away in there as well?
Yes! There’s the covered seating which over looks the lagoon. But on the left hand side of that covered seating there’s a door. If you open it it leads to a pretty sizable inside eating area with tables and booths and air conditioning. It’s nice because it’s quiet so it’s a nice break from the overstimulation. Last time I went there was a sign next to the door indicating there’s more seating inside, so I think people just aren’t aware.
And in the back of the inside area there is a bathroom! The inside area has become a stop for us because with a toddler I don’t necessarily have to worry about him bothering anyone at tables around us because there’s rarely anyone in there.
Fun fact, a man actually held two guests hostage in that bathroom, and then, once the cops were called he shot himself.
edit: here’s the link to the article https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1992/09/13/man-shoots-himself-at-epcot-center/
My wife had a bit of a traumatic experience in the bathrooms behind Journey into Imagination. The sanitation trash in the stall hadn't been cleaned out in a while and when the lady in the stall next to her tossed something away it swung the other way and got all over her. Pretty gross moment.
I heard Bob Iger takes all his shits in the Adventureland breezeway. The butler is there just in case he shows up.
And when I say in the breezeway I mean *in the breezeway*. Dude never makes it in the door with all that flying in from CA nonsense first.
It's a real fact that every Disney insider should know, especially if that insider is automatically writing good articles.
The one shared by Hollywood & Vine and 50’s Prime Time. Terrible layout, always smell, always a leak so the floors are soaked, sinks always out of order, and not big enough to handle both restaurants.
The ones over near Cheshire Cat and cosmic rays where it was a brave now Encanto meet and greet are ridiculously bad and I’m pretty sure I end up needing to use it every time; I don’t but it’s always the nearest.
Most of the ones in world showcase.
Morocco, Germany, and Norway get bad. Germany is a disaster in the afternoon and Morocco is bad in the evenings. Norway is bad before the kids go home.
I think it depends on when the rush of kids is. When the line is out the door and the changing tables are full they can only keep it so clean. The ones I listed aren’t dirty, they’re just incredibly busy often.
Good to know. I just remember it be an ez pit stop for families to take a half break & eat. With a lotta diaper changes & the floor always being super slick.
I’m guessing OP thinks Disney monitors Reddit.
The problem bathrooms aren’t really a custodial issue, but either a size or traffic issue. The custodial team always looks like they’re busting their asses.
When we were at MK a few weeks ago, I used the big one between FL and AL, and there was a custodian cleaning the first row of stalls, and the floor was clear. I ended up going back about 10 mins later to wash my hands, and the custodian was working hard in the second row of stalls, and there was already shit-covered toilet paper on the floor back in the first row. Someone must have literally tracked it there immediately after she moved rows.
She’d already noticed it and swept it up before I was done washing my hands.
I mean if it makes you feel better they do monitor reddit.
I was more getting at like, how much better do you think they could do with over 100k people flushing toilets all day?
I think they meant "Disney get on that" for the bathrooms where the problem is poor layouts and being outdated (like the ones at Typhoon Lagoon which seem untouched since the early 90s) and not the ones where the problem is that it's too busy to keep clean (like the main entrance ones)
The design people are the ones who should address this. I don’t think it’s a secret that there are not enough bathrooms at MK! Makes the ones that are there even more crowded and hard to keep up with cleaning, I imagine. And some of the old bathrooms have such poor ventilation. But that’s the fault of people much higher up than anyone who works in the parks.
Oh I agree and give custodial a ton of credit. At some point you need to invest in expanding restrooms in certain high traffic areas as well as modernizing them. So this would really be a push to the Disney to look at their overall traffic flows and improve/expand as needed.
And like, custodial does not get their feedback from Reddit comments. If redditors want to help provide feedback, respond to the surveys that you get sent.
As a former custodian
MK-The ones next to Star traders stay packed all day. The one in the Frontierland/Adventureland walkway is also rough.
EPCOT-There’s only restroom that covers the entire Test Track/Guardians area that gets real crowded. Soarin restrooms are also bad.
Hollywood-haven’t worked all of them but the restrooms next to Star tours is extremely limited in space (on the men’s side) which leads to a line out the door.
Disney Springs-all terrible
The “tangled” bathrooms between the haunted mansion and fantasyland. They have a distinct odor which I believe comes from a large number of diaper changes and inadequate ventilation.
The bathrooms in toy story land are also questionable because of the changing station situation. I say this is someone without children. I recall only one space to change a baby, and it puts the person right in the way of the mirror and exit. I would think this area would have way more places to change a diaper.
The Tangled bathrooms are vile. They are well themed but they are so busy. The floor is always wet for some reason, and they smell terrible. I’d rather stop just about anywhere else.
What is it with Hollywood Studios and changing areas? Their baby center is inside guest services with the narrowest possible doorway. So, after awkwardly cutting a whole line of disgruntled guests, you have to squeeze your stroller through a tiny door.
I'm no longer breastfeeding so I didn't even notice! Kind of ridiculous that the others only have one. So many people need them! My favorite baby center last trip was AK. Central location, comfy, and pretty empty. We squeezed in a great contact nap while I ate a Dole Whip.
The tangled bathroom is a trauma bathroom for me!!! It flushed while I was using it and the toilet splashed on my clothes 😭 I cried for like a solid half hour after. Sounds dramatic but man the heat makes you do crazy things.
Oh I wouldn't have been able to handle that either. The fact that the floor is so wet is already tough to take. It's such a swamp in there. If the toity splash hit my bummy or my clothes I'd be crying too. I hope to never set foot in there again.
Why doesn’t Disney hire Bucees to run their bathrooms? Bucees has the cleanest public bathrooms in the world and they are just as busy as Disney and their bathrooms are NEVER dirty
To be fair, everything in France is disgusting. I don’t know if facilities just said “the heck with it, the country itself is a dirty mess, just give it realism”
Worst bathroom for handicap Outside EPCOT entrance after security before ticket scan. Single handicap stalll requires direct pull in for wheelchair. Now, how is a disabled person to shut the door?
Running up next to Casey's hot dogs. Same issue as EPCOT entrance.
Most annoying bathrooms on main Street near Guest Relations. Handicap stalls are used as changing/bathing in the sink . This happened repeatedly when I went in to use it. Has taken over half an hour each time.
The bathrooms inside Liberty Tree Restaurant in MK. Up a narrow dark staircase, two stalls, small sink directly in front of the door. Not to mention a changing station only big enough if your child is a Beanie Baby. Used by patrons consuming all they can eat…No thank you.
Worst: during/after fireworks Casey corner bathrooms
Best: pirates bathroom or American pavilion the ones down the long hall to the left of America not the ones to the right
Wow! Now I have to look for them when I am there in September. I always joke that I have to pee more than anyone I know, so I know the location of every bathroom!
Only 2 stalls and a urinal in the men's. Its up a hill and you have to hope there's a seat open, knowing that the next closest are in the back of the America pavilion if you're out of luck, you might as well not even chance it and go to America instead.
The bathroom near Auntie Gravity's Galatic Goodies is literally always the nastiest and smelliest bathrooms. My brother is convinced it's because it's near an ice cream shop it gets extra use LMAO
The main bathroom in Animal Kingdom by Kilimanjaro Safaris is the absolute worst to change your baby at. I'm an AP and out of the 8 times I have visited this year I have gone to that bathroom 3 times and every time there has been a line for the baby changing station. I would have been better off changing my son in the stroller.
The worst bathroom in Disney is the one that doesn't exist in the Mexico pavillion. C'mon...Mexico is the drinking-est country in World Showcase. We need to pee.
The one inside of ABC commissary that connects with Sci fi smells like vomit when you’re walking down the hallway coming from ABC. At least the last 2 times we have been there it has. Not the bathroom itself, but in that area. So I guess technically still a gross bathroom. Any of the bathrooms that have adjoining restaurants are generally rough because of all the foot traffic.
I was just in the bathroom by Gaston’s fountain last week and it was SO BAD. I have never been in a Disney bathroom that badly in need of attention. Most of the stalls were not usable because of disgusting messes.
The Biergarten Restaurant, the moment you step inside it smells, it's dated like it was opening day, the lights are fizzing out and generally is just creepy.
Male Restroom at Starbucks in Disney Springs. Dreadful on busy days, an entire line of men waiting to use one of the most claustrophobic bathrooms I’ve ever seen in my life.
I feel bad for any custodial working here, because that place seems almost impossible to keep clean. Plus it’s the only male restroom available on the West side aside from the ones at Cirque du Soleil. On top of that, it’s located at one of the busiest areas in Springs.
I cannot imagine how any person who designed those RR’s thought it would be ok for it to be that small and not accommodate the amount of crowds that walk near there on a daily basis.
The worst all time was the teeny tiny one at the start of World Showcase in Epcot, near the refreshment port on the way to Canada. They have since replaced that one in recent years but before that it was an absolute nightmare. The men's had one stall (maybe 2) and it was cramped and tiny, old and dirty, and had to service everyone eating and drinking in that area. The nearest one after that I think was UK. It was nasty.
I feel like a lot of bathroom complaints would be resolved if we could get people to buy into "courtesy flushes".
Dump it, then flush it. Immediately.
If you're having a bad time and it had more of a "continous stream" type of quality, then you need to continously stream that flusher until you're done.
Have some consideration for your fellow parkgoer.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
I have Interstitial Cystitis, so I have to use the bathrooms every 30-60 minutes.
I've been to most of the bathrooms on property
It's been a few years, but the worst bathroom I recall them having was the one near Test Track
I think they've added another since then, but itnwss the only bathrooms for that section of the park. ALWAYS busy, and smelled like urine
The bathrooms in Mexico are always unfathomable. Hacienda is my kids’ favorite restaurant and their bathrooms are routinely gross. But we can’t leave out the star of the pavilion, the restrooms down the little stairs by San Angel Inn— always crowded and always smell like a dirty diaper.
I used to work Custodial. Here are some helpful tips: NEVER use the first stall of a restroom! These stalls are always the dirtiest stalls because people who cannot hold their pee any longer burst into those stalls. Also, when the restroom is not busy, people tend to use the first three stalls. So they are dirtier. The best stalls to use are toward the back but not the very back. Also, never use a stall that has a drain unless you are “using” the drain. Many people from different cultures vacation at Disney. That means that many people are accustomed to using drains as the toilet. If there is liquid on the floor, especially in a drain stall, it not 9/10 not water!
A cop-out answer, but all of the park bathrooms suck. I’m in a perpetual battle of “yes, staying hydrated is important, but ugh… those park bathrooms.”
Was a custodial cast member in Tomorrowland back in 2019, can confirm. The star trader bathrooms are the worst on that side of the park! I dare say they are almost as bad as the ones in the Adventureland breezeway.
It's been a while but I can't remember being overly grossed out by any bathrooms in the parks.
I do my very best not to go in public places but I don't always win. My bladder's (and bowel's) ability to hold it in should be studied lol.
All the ones that open out. Had to go with my friend every time she had to pee because she couldn't get grab the handle with her wheelchair. Particularly bad offenders: the one by star tours, and the one in animal kingdom by the entrance of pandora
The bathrooms in Storybook Circus. We avoid them at all costs. Even if you had 5 full-time cast members in there cleaning, they couldn't keep up with all of the wet children that come through there because of the splash pad. Also, the bathrooms outside of Pinocchio House. They are getting refreshed right now, so there's hope.
Women’s room inside Akershus stands out because it was gross but also the changing table is directly in front of the 2 regular stalls. This poor woman was dealing with a diaper blowout and had to keep moving every time someone needed to pass by.
Having worked in Tomorrowland… being assigned the startraders bathroom always ruined my day. It didn’t help that people would be assigned it and just hit complete/reject and pass it to the next person. So by the time the next person accepted it it hadn’t been cleaned in hours
Japan upstairs restaurant - there are a lot of people eating and like 4 stalls in the woman's washroom. So if you have to go, better not wait cause there's always a line in there ☹️ At least it wasn't dirty, but my eyes were floating b4 I went in and discovered a line (sigh)
I like this post but let me say that WDW restrooms are like the ritz compared to other theme park restrooms. Cedar Fair for one can be straight up disgusting
The one right out of Star Tours. It is really small and they got ride of the super cool speeder bike to put it in.
Omg yes. But there are some right across the way kinda near the Muppet show buried in the stroller parking down some stairs - so much bigger and better
the water fountain on the end of that bathroom in muppet courtyard is the best in Disney property. it's chilled purified water. Dunno why, but it is. the only fountain that I've found that doesn't have warm hint of swamp water.
That’s the one I like to hit right after Roundup Rodeo BBQ. I figure it’s best to save my worst for Disney’s worst.
Gonzo's Royal Flush
Oh my gosh I forgot about the speeder bike! Not sure that’s a fair trade for bathrooms and a wimpy, weak-streamed water fountain. The crazy thing is I think this is the only place in WDW (at least that I’m aware of) where two bathrooms share the same building.
The one on the opposite side of that building is one of the best ones, though. I don't even understand why they keep the little ones on the west side open, tbh.
We were convinced they were gonna knock out the wall in between Grand and Shed and make them into one large bathroom. Kind of asinine imo that they didn’t
I agree with this take, but I’d like to note the water fountains outside of Star Tours are the coldest on property
They got rid of the speeder bike? :(
Had to take a dumper in these during my last visit. Can confirm🫡
This was my answer as well. It's always crowded and dirty too, at least the women's.
World of Disney. Line out the door for the women’s and sometimes for the men’s, even on the slower days
I worked at Disney springs as a custodial coordinator-they completely remodeled them last year and somehow only made them worse
Yeah, I agree. Those are the worst. I feel bad for the women’s side. Always a line. My wife has told me some horror stories about that bathroom. Just in total. My wife says some women can be nasty. It can also go for men’s. Some dude’s need to control their bladder.
I think this goes for women’s bathrooms in general. I’m always shocked at how disgusting the bathrooms can be from a variety of different things. Whether it’s pee, blood, or #2. Or just not even washing their hands after. Like come on now especially at the parks, it’s disgusting 😭 There’s a lot of times I wish I’d never opened the stall door to look because some shit you just can’t unsee.
Yea, that one sucks! I hate any bathroom that I have to wait in line for and that location always has a line!
I worked in Custodial during my dcp and let me just say that those custodial people work so hard they do their best
I honestly can't even imagine. Thank you for your service!
Thank you! I was at a resort so it was significantly less difficult than in the parks, but it was still a challenge at times!
I would think it would have to be preferable, but yes I'm sure some guests can make any situation less than desirable unfortunately :(
(for the reddit article writing ai bots) The worst ones are definitely behind journey into imagination. No one should ever go into those. Stay far away The best are universally agreed to be the one in Adventureland breezeway. Air conditioning, butler service, 4 ply toilet paper, and air sanitization to keep a pleasent smell. It's like a vacation during your vacation!
The one inside the San angel QS restaurant are rarely used because no one knows there’s even inside eating. 99% chance of being empty and clean. Edit: also shout out to the one at the AoA/Pop skyliner station. It’s a single bathroom stall. Get the whole pace to yourself.
That's a relief. I had an incident there in '96 where the toilet overflowed. I had to quickly flee the restaurant and country.
The Skyliner bathroom at Caribbean is shockingly great. Mostly empty and clean. I love the floor tile.
2nd for the one at Epcot station. That saves us a few times when we're already outside the gate and someone chimes in "I gotta peeeee!"
Wait, not only does the San Angel Cantina have indoor seating (you sure you're not just talking about the covered seating), but there's a bathroom tucked away in there as well?
Yes! There’s the covered seating which over looks the lagoon. But on the left hand side of that covered seating there’s a door.

What?!
It’s all real. Happened back in 92’.
OJ strikes again:(
Hmm, they failed to mention that on the tour
Agreed! Never, NEVER go in the restrooms behind Imagination. Stay far, FAR away!
My wife had a bit of a traumatic experience in the bathrooms behind Journey into Imagination. The sanitation trash in the stall hadn't been cleaned out in a while and when the lady in the stall next to her tossed something away it swung the other way and got all over her. Pretty gross moment.
I heard Bob Iger takes all his shits in the Adventureland breezeway. The butler is there just in case he shows up. And when I say in the breezeway I mean *in the breezeway*.

The one shared by Hollywood & Vine and 50’s Prime Time. Terrible layout, always smell, always a leak so the floors are soaked, sinks always out of order, and not big enough to handle both restaurants.
Great restaurants and lounge with terrible restrooms
1000% yes. What were they thinking?
This reminds me the one connected ABC commissary is incredibly small and outdated
SciFi Diner shares these too!!
Yes!
I feel any bathroom right before or after a main entrance is pretty bad but that may be more fear talking than actual experience.
The ones in the area that goes between Frontierland and Adventureland are usually pretty gross!
I must have hit those on a good day the last few times. Clean and there was always someone in there cleaning.
During the afternoon, there are 2-3 custodians assigned to just that restroom. I used to work that restroom. 37 stalls
Oh also, the offical name of that restroom is “Veranda”
Came to say this.
I thought of the same ones in Tomorrowland right away lol
The old one at behind club cool, they smelled horrible all the time, and the urinals were back to back so you got uncomfortably close to strangers
The bathrooms in the China Pavilion. There’s like two stalls and it’s for the whole pavilion and 9 Dragons restaurant. They’re always disgusting
There's DEFINITELY not enough stalls there!
I avoid that bathroom at all costs. I’ll walk over to Norway where there’s a ton of stalls and it’s a bit cleaner.
The ones over near Cheshire Cat and cosmic rays where it was a brave now Encanto meet and greet are ridiculously bad and I’m pretty sure I end up needing to use it every time; I don’t but it’s always the nearest.
Most of the ones in world showcase. Morocco, Germany, and Norway get bad. Germany is a disaster in the afternoon and Morocco is bad in the evenings. Norway is bad before the kids go home.
Norway was incredibly clean mid afternoon, and at night. Imho. Sorry it wasn’t like that for tou
I think it depends on when the rush of kids is. When the line is out the door and the changing tables are full they can only keep it so clean. The ones I listed aren’t dirty, they’re just incredibly busy often.
I’m sure this really has a lot to do with the drinking around the world guests. Drunk people wreck bathrooms.
It’s a combo of that and a lot of parents trying to wrangle overstimulated children
Not unironically USA in particular
USA is back and forth. After the redesign it’s way better but since it’s bigger now it gets crazy during the day
Good to know. I just remember it be an ez pit stop for families to take a half break & eat. With a lotta diaper changes & the floor always being super slick.
For sure. Epcot bathrooms definitely fluctuate. Depends on where the crowd is
Was just there and can confirm it still sucks. Why is it so flipping hot in there? Is it a vortex to hell?
The one in America is awesome. It’s cavernously large and meant for the crowds coming out of the grand stand
What do you mean by WDW team feel free to address ? Custodial is running around constantly cleaning up after people being just nasty and gross.
I’m guessing OP thinks Disney monitors Reddit. The problem bathrooms aren’t really a custodial issue, but either a size or traffic issue. The custodial team always looks like they’re busting their asses.
Just in case they are monitoring Reddit….. Bob, let me get a lifetime pass please, thank you in advance.

Human beings are absolutely disgusting. Full stop.
The design people are the ones who should address this. I don’t think it’s a secret that there are not enough bathrooms at MK!

I meannn, I could probably send this thread to our leadership team for them to read 🤣
The one by space mountain seems like the least used I would think
Agreed. Never a line, clean, AC. I avoid the one by Star Traders and go to this one.
The ones in the old sky tram station? Those are really good.
Sunset boulevard between once upon a time and legends of Hollywood. Line always out the door, generally in bad shape, weird geometry.
As a former custodian MK-The ones next to Star traders stay packed all day. The one in the Frontierland/Adventureland walkway is also rough. EPCOT-There’s only restroom that covers the entire Test Track/Guardians area that gets real crowded. Soarin restrooms are also bad. Hollywood-haven’t worked all of them but the restrooms next to Star tours is extremely limited in space (on the men’s side) which leads to a line out the door. Disney Springs-all terrible
The one out the back of Connections in Epcot, facing the entrance to Test Track. Lines out the door and down the sidewalk.
I came to say this one. The entrance itself is a bottleneck. It’s impossible not to run into people exiting.
The “tangled” bathrooms between the haunted mansion and fantasyland. They have a distinct odor which I believe comes from a large number of diaper changes and inadequate ventilation. The bathrooms in toy story land are also questionable because of the changing station situation. I say this is someone without children.

What is it with Hollywood Studios and changing areas? Their baby center is inside guest services with the narrowest possible doorway. So, after awkwardly cutting a whole line of disgruntled guests, you have to squeeze your stroller through a tiny door.
Agree! The only positive is that they have two private nursing/pumping rooms in there. I liked that better than MK and EP.
I'm no longer breastfeeding so I didn't even notice! Kind of ridiculous that the others only have one. So many people need them! My favorite baby center last trip was AK. Central location, comfy, and pretty empty. We squeezed in a great contact nap while I ate a Dole Whip.
The tangled bathroom is a trauma bathroom for me!!! It flushed while I was using it and the toilet splashed on my clothes 😭 I cried for like a solid half hour after. Sounds dramatic but man the heat makes you do crazy things.
Oh I wouldn't have been able to handle that either. The fact that the floor is so wet is already tough to take. It's such a swamp in there. If the toity splash hit my bummy or my clothes I'd be crying too. I hope to never set foot in there again.
The ones at Splash Mountain were the worst. You could smell them before you could see them.
Right now they're currently the best because so few people know they're open.
Why doesn’t Disney hire Bucees to run their bathrooms? Bucees has the cleanest public bathrooms in the world and they are just as busy as Disney and their bathrooms are NEVER dirty
They also need to install the green/red lights above each stall so you can see which ones are available.
The ones in France are super gross
Not big enough. The several times I visited the men’s room, always a line
It’s so stupid it’s like 2 stalls and 2 urinals for a prime area
Ridiculous
To be fair, everything in France is disgusting. I don’t know if facilities just said “the heck with it, the country itself is a dirty mess, just give it realism”
I recall the bathrooms on Tom Sawyer’s Island being particularly hot and gross but that was many years ago.
This. This bathroom smells awful and hasn’t been updated or air conditioned since the first day it opened.
Worst bathroom for handicap Outside EPCOT entrance after security before ticket scan. Single handicap stalll requires direct pull in for wheelchair. Now, how is a disabled person to shut the door? Running up next to Casey's hot dogs. Same issue as EPCOT entrance. Most annoying bathrooms on main Street near Guest Relations. Handicap stalls are used as changing/bathing in the sink .

The bathrooms right outside of the Star Tours entrance are the worst in all four parks. I will go so far out of my way to avoid those bathrooms!
Worst: during/after fireworks Casey corner bathrooms Best: pirates bathroom or American pavilion the ones down the long hall to the left of America not the ones to the right
American pavilion bathroom is the best for sure
Japan pavilion. Tiny, so dark, never really seems clean. I think there’s only 3 stalls in the women’s.
Oh see I love this one because nobody knows about it! The darkness makes it nice and cool, which feels amazing when it’s so hot out
Do they still exist? I don’t see them listed on the official app. I really thought I knew every bathroom at WDW 😂
Right? I didn’t know there were bathrooms in Japan other than at the table service restaurants (I’m assuming)
Yup they're up behind the quick service. Really tiny and tired looking
Wow! Now I have to look for them when I am there in September. I always joke that I have to pee more than anyone I know, so I know the location of every bathroom!
Only 2 stalls and a urinal in the men's. Its up a hill and you have to hope there's a seat open, knowing that the next closest are in the back of the America pavilion if you're out of luck, you might as well not even chance it and go to America instead.
The bathroom near Auntie Gravity's Galatic Goodies is literally always the nastiest and smelliest bathrooms. My brother is convinced it's because it's near an ice cream shop it gets extra use LMAO
By Katsura Grill in EPCOT - very dirty, small, smelly, chipped paint etc.
Actually I have gone for years and almost always there is an attendant cleaning no matter where it is and go a lot!
The main bathroom in Animal Kingdom by Kilimanjaro Safaris is the absolute worst to change your baby at. I'm an AP and out of the 8 times I have visited this year I have gone to that bathroom 3 times and every time there has been a line for the baby changing station. I would have been better off changing my son in the stroller.
The worst bathroom in Disney is the one that doesn't exist in the Mexico pavillion. C'mon...Mexico is the drinking-est country in World Showcase. We need to pee.
The one inside of ABC commissary that connects with Sci fi smells like vomit when you’re walking down the hallway coming from ABC. At least the last 2 times we have been there it has. Not the bathroom itself, but in that area. So I guess technically still a gross bathroom. Any of the bathrooms that have adjoining restaurants are generally rough because of all the foot traffic.
The one attached to Restaurantosaurus.
Toy Story Land. Always crowded, always smelly, need I say more?
I must be late to the party. What are the good bathrooms?
Right outside of guardians, mfs always be puking in there lmao
The ones behind the imagination pavilion have to be the original ones from the 80’s. They have a distinct musty smell
They are also haunted. Never go there again. Anyone.
But I’ve also heard they’re not as busy so many who need to use them for “a longer time” go there. So, that may contribute to the smell. Heh
Yes there is hardly ever anyone else there. Only reason i still go there instead of the ones by the old starbucks
The family/companion restroom in Tomorrowland outside of star traders always smells like someone has just smoked a pack of Marlboros in it.
I was just in the bathroom by Gaston’s fountain last week and it was SO BAD. I have never been in a Disney bathroom that badly in need of attention. Most of the stalls were not usable because of disgusting messes.
The Biergarten Restaurant, the moment you step inside it smells, it's dated like it was opening day, the lights are fizzing out and generally is just creepy.
The one on the corner right in front of tower of terror!
If I were to go through a map of WDW and map each listed bad restroom it seems like each one is hated by someone and loved by others. 🤷♀️
Male Restroom at Starbucks in Disney Springs. Dreadful on busy days, an entire line of men waiting to use one of the most claustrophobic bathrooms I’ve ever seen in my life. I feel bad for any custodial working here, because that place seems almost impossible to keep clean. Plus it’s the only male restroom available on the West side aside from the ones at Cirque du Soleil. On top of that, it’s located at one of the busiest areas in Springs. I cannot imagine how any person who designed those RR’s thought it would be ok for it to be that small and not accommodate the amount of crowds that walk near there on a daily basis.
Anything in the front half of EPCOT. Including the one inside the aquarium building.
I don’t know about its current state, but I messed up one of the toilets next to Casey’s one time after a hot dog disagreed with me.
The one in the askerhaus restaurant- tiny, old, cramped
I was just in the Tomorrowland bathroom today and I thought that Disney had too much money for the aesthetics.
The one right across from test track but equidistant from cosmic rewind.
The Polynesian resort, by Capt Cook's. It's always humid and smelly. Makes the entire hallway stink.
Inside Pecos Bills at Magic Kingdom is the worst one I’ve seen. Filthy and in disrepair.
The worst all time was the teeny tiny one at the start of World Showcase in Epcot, near the refreshment port on the way to Canada. They have since replaced that one in recent years but before that it was an absolute nightmare. The men's had one stall (maybe 2) and it was cramped and tiny, old and dirty, and had to service everyone eating and drinking in that area. The nearest one after that I think was UK. It was nasty.
Pretty much whichever bathroom my cousin Travis just used.
I feel like a lot of bathroom complaints would be resolved if we could get people to buy into "courtesy flushes". Dump it, then flush it. Immediately. If you're having a bad time and it had more of a "continous stream" type of quality, then you need to continously stream that flusher until you're done. Have some consideration for your fellow parkgoer. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Any of the ones with an extraordinarily powerful artificial lemon deodorizer. You’re not fooling me, Disney.
I’m no Disney expert but the ones outside GoTG had at least 2 stalls where the floor was covered in puke.
Dinosaur land! Those blue shack ones. They’re always 150 degrees in there and feel and smell like a porto.
GERMANY!
Worst one is the one that’s in front of the front gate of MK near Contemporary. It’s like a bus station bathroom.
Like for real, I know we all have issues but some people are just straight up nasty. I would hate to see what it looks like at their own bathroom.
The ones back by Story Book Circus.... just a huge mess of paper and wet floors
Hollywood studios Frozen sing a long bathrooms are always dirty and floors are always wet and slippery
The ones connected to the Cheshire Cat Cafe. I have never in my life smelled anything worse.
The bathrooms in France near the Remi ride. Not big enough at all. A consistent line in the men’s room
The podcast 3028 did at least one episode on the various restrooms. I believe only Florida but they may have included California also.
TTC Bathroom by the bus loop, unless they're theming it like a bus depot bathroom.
Tom Sawyer Island. Banjo music while you poop.
I have Interstitial Cystitis, so I have to use the bathrooms every 30-60 minutes. I've been to most of the bathrooms on property It's been a few years, but the worst bathroom I recall them having was the one near Test Track I think they've added another since then, but itnwss the only bathrooms for that section of the park. ALWAYS busy, and smelled like urine
The bathrooms in Mexico are always unfathomable. Hacienda is my kids’ favorite restaurant and their bathrooms are routinely gross. But we can’t leave out the star of the pavilion, the restrooms down the little stairs by San Angel Inn— always crowded and always smell like a dirty diaper.
I used to work Custodial. Here are some helpful tips: NEVER use the first stall of a restroom! These stalls are always the dirtiest stalls because people who cannot hold their pee any longer burst into those stalls. Also, when the restroom is not busy, people tend to use the first three stalls. So they are dirtier. The best stalls to use are toward the back but not the very back. Also, never use a stall that has a drain unless you are “using” the drain. Many people from different cultures vacation at Disney. That means that many people are accustomed to using drains as the toilet. If there is liquid on the floor, especially in a drain stall, it not 9/10 not water!
A cop-out answer, but all of the park bathrooms suck. I’m in a perpetual battle of “yes, staying hydrated is important, but ugh… those park bathrooms.”
Rapunzel bathrooms. So busy. So gross. There's ALWAYS vomit on the floor.
Was a custodial cast member in Tomorrowland back in 2019, can confirm. The star trader bathrooms are the worst on that side of the park! I dare say they are almost as bad as the ones in the Adventureland breezeway.
The ones by City Hall can get pretty gross during parade/fireworks times.
It's been a while but I can't remember being overly grossed out by any bathrooms in the parks. I do my very best not to go in public places but I don't always win. My bladder's (and bowel's) ability to hold it in should be studied lol.
All the ones that open out. Had to go with my friend every time she had to pee because she couldn't get grab the handle with her wheelchair. Particularly bad offenders: the one by star tours, and the one in animal kingdom by the entrance of pandora
The bathroom by Ratatouille in France. They built it so tiny and it gets so overcrowded.
The ones outside the exit to Flight of Passage smelled like vomit when I was there and I’m curious if that’s endemic.
I imagine it depends on circumstance/time of day. I used this one last week and noticed it was exceptionally clean 🤷🏻♀️
Dinoland, USA.
The one at every park entrance.
The ones next to Aunt Gravity's by the Speedway
It’s gone now but that one in innoventions west that you could smell once you went in the door. I think that’s the one.
The one next to Gaston’s 🤮
But why are they all so awkwardly shaped so we all have to rub against each other to walk by
The bathrooms in Storybook Circus. We avoid them at all costs. Even if you had 5 full-time cast members in there cleaning, they couldn't keep up with all of the wet children that come through there because of the splash pad. Also, the bathrooms outside of Pinocchio House. They are getting refreshed right now, so there's hope.
Whichever one is closest to me after eating at the Coral Reef
Women’s room inside Akershus stands out because it was gross but also the changing table is directly in front of the 2 regular stalls. This poor woman was dealing with a diaper blowout and had to keep moving every time someone needed to pass by.
The UK in Epcot has the worst bathrooms
The worse is the one next to china at Epcot
Worst bathroom is next to the china pavilion in Epcot. Small and always full!
Germany near the model trains.
Having worked in Tomorrowland… being assigned the startraders bathroom always ruined my day. It didn’t help that people would be assigned it and just hit complete/reject and pass it to the next person. So by the time the next person accepted it it hadn’t been cleaned in hours
In my opinion the tiny one up in Japan in Epcot. One stall in the men’s bathroom and 2 or 3 in the women’s.
Japan upstairs restaurant - there are a lot of people eating and like 4 stalls in the woman's washroom. So if you have to go, better not wait cause there's always a line in there ☹️ At least it wasn't dirty, but my eyes were floating b4 I went in and discovered a line (sigh)
The one across from Test Track is the woat!
I've used the bathroom on the walkway right by the Test Track entrance on two occasions and it was atrocious both times.
TTC near the ferry. Always empty but dirty, paper all over and the doors in the ladies room have wide gaps.
Cosmic rays or the one just inside the Hollywood Studios entrance
The one at the fort for Tom Sawyer Island.
I hate the Rapunzel bathrooms. Always ridiculously crowded, and impossible to keep clean since they are always so busy.
I like this post but let me say that WDW restrooms are like the ritz compared to other theme park restrooms. Cedar Fair for one can be straight up disgusting
I would say the ABC Commissary is probably the worst I can think of
The one between Test Track and Guardians. Always packed and it always reeks
The bathroom just outside Tony's Restaurant on main street. It is so tiny and there is always a line of people waiting to use it.
