A WDW Bathroom Comment.......

[civileng68]

Ever notice that the toilets in Futureworld are the low tech non-auto flush type?! I guess that in the future they realized that auto flush is not so great?

I still like what popped up at work years ago:

If you sprinkle
When you tinkle
Be a sweetie
Wipe the seatie

Too bad that it had no impact!!

It's like the Simpsons episode about Epcot. Lisa says something to the effect of "Hey, look, it's Epcot, the place all about the future up to the 1980's".

I don't have too much to add. But just wanted to let you know that you guys are cracking me up Just lurking enjoying the DIS toilet talk

I was going to keep this to myself- it is a personal pet peeve- but since it was mentioned- It drives me CRAZY to see a wet toilet seat. Not one that is wet from the aforementioned strong toilets, but from people who for some reason squat to pee, thereby getting, you guessed it , pee all over the toilet so the next person needs to deal with it. Last time I checked most of our butts are all skin, and there is little or no chance you will ever catch anything from a toilet seat! So, for heaven's sake, sit down and the toilets will be cleaner for everyone.
There, now I've said it ! That's been bugging me for years!

I sure hope keeping this in for so long hasn't caused you many problems!
BTW, I totally agree with you!

There were the COOLEST toilets in the airport, I'm pretty sure O'hare on the way there and not MCO but it was early I was tired so I'm not totally sure which state I was peeing in when I saw the toilet, but it had automatic one time use plastic toilet seat covers, it swishes around to give your butt it's own personal clean seat. After it flushes, whoosh the plastic moves around the seat to provide the next person a clean fresh potty seat. I thought it was fab, but it scared the crap outta my 7 yr old (pun intended )

I can beat that. A coworker realized that her beeper had fallen off and went down the toilet just as she flushed it. That beeper was never seen again.

ohhh that is bad. All I could think about is that I hope the toilet doesn't break or get clogged. I can imagine my name badge being pulled out of there and them knowing it was me and trying to explain that would be !

Put a stickie note over the eye while your little one is using it and remove it when they are done. It will stop it from flushing until you are ready.

This is one tip I wish I had on our 12-03 trip. I was in the bathroom at Rain Forrest Cafe ( Animal kingdom) trying to put a seat cover on for DS when one of those vicious toilets went off reshowering me for the morning. I was traumatized for months. Anyone prefer the kind when you can flush when you're ready?? Who likes a shower with toilet water. Plus, I've been in a busy airport when I know someone is waiting and the darn thing will not flush...and there is no apparent way to make it. Do they offer counseling for these traumatic toilet trials??

Now, here's an example of how we all differ in our preferences! I am in O'Hare every 2 weeks or so, and will do anything to avoid those ones, even going as far as using the facilities on the plane!! Thank goodness that I can enjoy the Red Carpet Club and avoid them whenever possible.... not to mention the very claustrophic stalls at O'Hare. And I usually end up waving frantically at the wall to get to plastic to advance....

I was tired so I'm not totally sure which state I was peeing in when I saw the toilet, )

hopefully you saw the toilet before you started peeing

not to be graphic( like that hasn't already been done on this thread) but the thing i hate about any of the auto flush jobs is when you move at all they flush so it sounds like it was a "courtesy flush" and then i think everyone thinks that horrendous stench coming from a couple stalls over is from my stall ( i have a thing about using any "strange" bathroom to begin with)

 

[Laurajean1014]

The toilets in the park are very strong. I noticed the seats are wet, so I just wipe it dry.

 

[jennyl772003]

I just wanted to add...

Not ALL of the toilets at WDW are auto flush. Please check before leaving the stall. If it IS an auto flush, but it has not actually flushed, and your frantic bouncing/arm waving has not activated the eye, they USUALLY have a black button you can press to manually flush.

The toilet is not a garbage can. Do not dispose of your unused park maps, paper towel, stuff from the bottom of your purse, etc in the toilet.

That little part in the middle of the seat covers, if you detach it at the perforations, without removing it completely, it leaves a flap. Take this flap and place it in the toilet. Now when you flush, your seat cover will flush also. If it hasn't, please help it along.

If you "hover", please use a seat cover. Your hovering is what made the seat nasty in the first place. My "sitting" on the toilet does not spray urine all over the seat.

Now I feel better.

I HATE those automatic toliets most of them do not work correctly for long. Most don't flush everytime they are used.

I also noticed tho some of the flush toliets at disney that is gettin old didn't want to flush when the handle was pulled or pushed either one tried both

Most all the bathrooms are smelling like pee now too esp the older ones maybe disney has a few busted toliet seals that what the pee smells like. Those seals are a pain in the **** to fix and when a plumber fixes them even HE won't garantee the work. Comforting thought to anyone who has ever dealt with a busted seal in toliet.

The seal is wax and as long as it's working properly no problems once it starts leaking you can not get rid of the pee odor. Sometimes the pee leaks out on to the floor around the toliet where you can see it but not always. In that case it's just there being absorbed into the flooring YUCK awlful smell then. If you just seal around the base of the toliet without fixing the wax seal you just trap more of the pee leaking out and odor.

We were in Provincetown over the weekend and there was a bathroom attendant and she kept saying
"ladies, please be neat. Don't leave your DNA on the seat"

It struck me as funny cause I've never heard anyone screaming that before in a bathroom but it also struck me as sad that anyone has to say something like that cause people have no respect and don't know how to clean up after themselves.

 

[madhouserobey]

try a porta potty at a cont. site alot of immig.stand doto number 2 and do not lift the seat. now that's just sick

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

Lol, they are pretty loud.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

OMG! Some of this is so funny!
Anyways, I do agree with some of the posts here. I can't stand those that hover over the seat. They do create the mess.

I also pretty much automatically wipe any public seat before I sit down.

Have any of you folks ever taken a cruise? The toilets on the cruise ship could wake the dead when you flush them. They sound like they are flushing with enough force to shoot the contents back to the mainland.

SO TRUE!

The first time I took a cruise and flush the toilet, I actually jumped! From then on I would quickly flush and run out of the bathroom! It's scary!

To me I thought the majority of toilets at Disney were clean ...esp compared to rest stops on the highway But the funniest thing I noticed after my last trip to disney was, the night after I came back we went to a local Denny's for dinner. I went to the bathroom and was standing at the sink waiting for the automatic facet to start to wash my hands when I realized I had to turn it on myself... a week at disney parks had spoiled me.

This is a hilarious thread! Did you see the Regis and Kelly show when Kelly talked about a baseball game and her complaint about "hoverers?" That was so funny! She made a plea for women to "just sit down!, or wipe the seat!" it is the same going on in this thread!
By the way, in Japan, they have the coolest toilets that have heated seats, sounds to cover up your "personal noise", and running water sounds to help facilitate, and the same type of plastic rotating seat covers! Now THAT's a toilet!
