If it ain't clean, I ain't goin!
Wow, I wonder if something has happened with the help since I was there last. I never saw any problem with the bathrooms and I consider myself to be a bathroom prude.
I wasn't surprised that women could be so gross or thoughtless not to clean up after themselves or their children in a public bathroom (you find that everywhere), but I was surprised that WDW let their bathrooms get that disgusting!
But you are talking to someone who was vegetarian for over 12 years and I still get sqeamish around "bones." But those huge turkey legs-I could barely look at them while people were walking by with them-they looked like they were eating their own arms!! Even DBF was grossed out by them and he eats almost anything!! on the seat & I also saw....well I won't get into it (despite the title of this thread!) but by early evening I WOULD compare it to a dirty nasty gas station bathroom....and even go so far to say that I've seen actual gas station bathrooms that are much cleaner than the Fantasyland "princess" bathroom.
Okay, now I'm strangely intrigued....
What'd she do, lick it off the floor with her tongue?
I certainly hope you took time to voice your concerns at Guest Relations.
Now I'm not custodial statused, but I am custodial trained and certified... and I can tell you that's not how restrooms should be cleaned at WDW (heck, when I worked custodial I wouldn't even enter a restroom without wearing three pairs of latex gloves). I hope you took the woman's name and reported her to the closest manager -- her actions show me she's a danger to herself and others.Mrs. Bee said:
Dear IHEARTNY,
Plus, in my years of living, I have come to a concencus with those around me that; come on, breast pumps are a good way to not offend anyone and it's the same thing as breastfeeding.
Oh, ok. So you want me to carry my pump and bottles around all day, first of all. Then you want me to go where to pump? Cause I will tell you right now, it is tough to be discreet with that thing. At WDW there are baby care centers, but how about in the real world? So you want me in a bathroom stall pumping, pouring up the milk in the bathroom after reading some of these stories? When it is so much easier, cleaner, less painful (pumping makes me SORE) etc. . . to just find a nice bench or the baby care center and nurse my son.
And let me just say that I know discreet. I was in the church nursery feeding my little nurseling last week and one of the men actually came in and walked right up to me to pass me communion.And we were sans-blanket. . . .at the Church of Christ. He had seen me go in and wanted to make sure I received the Lord's Supper and had NO idea what I was doing.
Anyway, I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind, but I am just flabbergasted at some of these comments. Yes, I pump because I work and have to, but if my son and I are spending all day together, no matter where we are, there will be no pumping. If you are offended that is entirely your problem and has nothing whatsoever to do with me.
And to the poster who commented about not wanting her children to get an anatomy lesson from a nursing mother. . . . your children will eventually see breasts. They can see them the way God intended. . .as a way to feed and nurture babies, or they can see them as sexual objects, your call.

Amen to that!
Amen to that!
Thank you. I did respond before I read the entire thread, and I am sorry to be a part of the hijacking, but I just couldn't let it go.
To get us back on track: This is really more mean than gross, but it involves a potty, so, well. . . here it is.
This December I saw a Mom pull out one of those portable potty chair things and insist that her little girl use it outside in plain sight of everyone, and the little girl was just distraught. Now I was really more offended by the attitude than the presence of the potty chair, because after reading this thread for a while, I don't know so much about having my little one sit so close to the floor in the bathrooms, but obviously this little girl was not into droping trou and doing her business out on the street at Disney World. It was just a sad scene. It does highlight the difference between boys and girls, though. Boys probably think it is cool to pee in a bottle rather than get out of line.
So... you felt a more positive way to bring about change was to complain about it on the DIS?
