The Backlot Tour at DHS has restrooms in between the special effects water tank and the warehouse you walk through to get to the tram. AFAIK every other guest restroom is in a public area, not inside of an attraction or gift shop (I get that all the time, especially in Exposition Hall).
Actually, there is a set of restrooms in Exposition Hall....

There are two sets actually. One is for cast and the other is only for guests dining at Tony's. So when someone comes in looking for a restroom we send them across the street to the ones by City Hall.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

For a city, Main Street USA sure doesn't have many bathrooms. Now for the monorail drivers, if I am at the Epcot station (and pretend I can board from either side) what is the closest bathroom?

I believe the Tiki Room has a bathroom, not inside, but just outside the door, eventhough there's another restroom at the entrance to Adventureland! Why?? Anyone??

As for originality, no doubt you came up with it on your own -- but Howie Mandel did use the same line in his mid-80's stand-up routine. Saw it on an HBO special way back when.
Looking back, I am thinking, "What was I thinking?!?!!" :D That was long time ago!!!

I don't know that that's a fair assessment:

1. Outside the turnstiles by Guest Relations.
2. Town Square between City Hall and the Firehouse.
3. Inside Tony's Town Square.
4. Behind Casey's Corner.
5. Inside Baby Care.
6. Inside the First Aid Center.
7. Inside the Crystal Palace.

and even though it's technically Tomorrowland, the one between the Plaza Restaurant and Tomorrowland Terrace is right smack adjacent to Main Street.

What land has a higher count?


And yes, I did used to quiz my trainees on restroom numbers and locations. Great fun, and none of them ever got the complete list.

But only 2, 3 and 4 are really accessible by the average guest in the park. What is the least bathroomed area of any park? I assume they plan placement based on estimated guest capacity in the area?
