Bathroom #17: The Bathroom Equivalent of a Jump Scare
Beautiful!
I really like this bathroom.
It has a good personality.
And an identity. It has an original design.
There is one door but two different sides.
Go to the right and you will see this.
Right hand side
Go to the left and you will see this.
Left hand side
There is no real difference between the sides.
But I have noticed that the left side is usually less busy, so head left if you can.
And in between the two sides there is one shared sink bay.
You can play peek a boo with the person across from you!
Sometimes not all the sinks work.
Sometimes there are cute little towel animals supervising the situation.
The bathroom design is just clever.
It feels open and honest.
There is an actual point of view here. Everything matches, even the artwork on the walls.
It’s so pretty! What do you see?
Nothing feels random or forgotten.
Yes, sometimes it gets busy because of the location.
This bathroom sits right next to Swirled Showcase in EPCOT.
You pass it while walking between World Showcase, World Celebration, and World Nature, so there is constantly a river of people flowing by.
But despite all of that foot traffic, the bathroom still manages to feel surprisingly calm.
There is also a nicely designed separate companion bathroom, which I always appreciate.
Love the architecture!
The Good
The design is genuinely well done.
Everything matches.
The artwork matches the colors.
The colors match the feeling of the space.
And the entire bathroom feels intentional instead of thrown together.
It also feels very open which helps so much when a bathroom is busy.
The left side is usually less crowded, which feels like insider information that I am now generously sharing with the world.
There are occasionally towel animals which automatically increases my happiness level by at least 35%.
And the companion bathroom is thoughtfully designed and easy to find.
The Bad
The automatic flushers are completely unhinged.
I was sitting peacefully on the toilet when the flusher suddenly activated with the force and confidence of a rocket launch.
It scared me so badly I thought I was about to be vacuum sealed directly into the plumbing.
The water sprayed upward, which is not an experience anyone wants during their Disney vacation.
And while I was sitting in the stall trying to emotionally recover, the exact same thing happened to a small child nearby.
The poor little thing immediately started crying.
Honestly? Understandable.
These toilets are aggressive.
There should be warning signs.
Or helmets.
Official Ruling
Design: 9/10
Personality: Strong and confident
Crowds: Medium to heavy depending on festival traffic
Cleanliness: Usually very good
Anxiety Level: Surprisingly manageable
Flusher Safety Rating: Absolutely unhinged
Final Verdict
This bathroom has style.
It has confidence.
It knows exactly what it wants to be and commits fully to the design.
The layout is smart, the artwork matches, the space feels open, and even with all the foot traffic from EPCOT, it somehow still manages to feel calmer than it should.
That alone deserves respect.
But the automatic flushers?
Absolutely terrifying.
There needs to be a Disney cast member standing outside handing out emotional support and safety briefings before entry.
So while this bathroom is one of EPCOT’s stronger bathrooms aesthetically, you must remain alert at all times.
Because the toilet may attack without warning.
