When Disney Toilets Go Bad

[Syndrome]

Okay, I have to say I had my most unique experience ever at WDW today. Was at DHS with Mr. Syndrome meeting my nephew and his school group for a late lunch. Afterwards I went to use the 50s Prime Time restroom. The one side was packed so I walked around to the other side, thinking, "Dang, I'm so smart! No wait over there." The first stall I opened had not been flushed since its last user; normally I will skip on to the next one, but for some insane reason I decided to just flush. BAD idea. I stood there in horror as the water rose...and rose...and promptly starting pouring out on my food, I was already struggling with the door latch to escape, but my left foot got a body fluid-laced bath. I was wearing my favorite flip flops with cloth bands so of course it had soaked that all up. I hurried to the sink where I got some weird stares as I tried to put my foot up and srubbed frantically at my shoe. The weak stream and lukewarm water did nothing to make me feel I was getting sanitized so I headed to Guest Services, hoping they could direct me to a bathroom with a good, hot sink or at least some heavy duty sanitizing wipes. I felt like a real ninny explaining the story, but they were so nice! They actually gave me a gift card for new shoes. I explained that just a good wash-up would be fine since we weren't going to be there that much longer, but they said just get the new ones. I really felt like that was above the call of duty since the situation wasn't really Disney's fault. When I was a kid, I used to have nightmares of flushing toilets and having them flood...little did I know I would live the real life horror someday!

Adventures in Poohland?

Thank goodness it was only liquid and big glops of toilet paper. I would have been screaming bloody murder and clawing down the door with my bare fingernails if I'd been attacked by Winnie the Poo.

Yep, I think it's going to turn into one of those "special" memories every time I look at that picture. You can see my new shoes that Guest Services had me get, and in the far bottom right you can just barely see the corner of the plastic bag in which the "pee shoes" are firmly wrapped. I can't help but laughing now although I sure as heck wasn't laughing when I was trying to get out of that darned stall!

The pic. is here, but I don't know if you can see it if you're not on Facebook:

I will make sure that the stall has a clean toilet.
