Bathroom #43: The Bathroom Line Longer Than Tomorrowland Speedway
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
This bathroom was chaos.
I knew Tomorrowland was supposed to be about the future, but I really hope this is not the future of bathrooms.
This bathroom is located next to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, and right across the main pathway is Tomorrowland Speedway.
And this bathroom is busy.
Not a little busy.
Not normal Disney busy.
Sooooo very busy.
There was a line.
Actually, the women’s bathroom line had more of a wait time than Tomorrowland Speedway.
I timed it.
Yes.
I time bathroom lines now.
Welcome to the Great Disney Bathroom Quest.
The line went out the door, past the benches, and started spilling into the main walkway.
It was bathroom traffic control.
And nobody was having a magical moment.
Everyone looked hot.
Sweaty.
Frustrated.
And I don’t blame anyone.
Because there are very few things worse than waiting in a long line when you really need a bathroom.
Especially when it is hot outside.
And then you finally get inside…
And it is still hot.
No thank you.
This bathroom overwhelmed me.
My anxiety took one look around and said, “Absolutely not.”
So I took my pictures.
I wrote my notes.
And I escaped.
Far, far away.
The stressed energy coming from this bathroom was intense.
But honestly?
The poor bathroom had a few things working against it.
Problem number one: the heat.
The air conditioning was not doing enough.
Tomorrowland already feels like you are walking across the surface of the sun sometimes, so a bathroom needs to be a cool little escape.
This was not that.
Problem number two: the size.
This bathroom is too small for its location.
It only has one main area and not enough stalls to handle the amount of people walking by.
And a lot of people walk by.
It is in a very visible spot.
People heading to Speedway.
People leaving Fantasyland.
People getting ice cream.
People exploring Tomorrowland.
Everyone sees this bathroom.
Everyone uses this bathroom.
And the bathroom cannot keep up.
Problem number three: the traffic jam inside.
There were two Cast Members working so hard trying to keep this bathroom clean.
And I really do appreciate them.
They were fighting a losing battle.
But while they were cleaning, they had to close one or two stalls at a time.
Which makes complete sense.
Bathrooms need to be cleaned.
But when you already have a line out the door, losing even one stall makes everyone more impatient.
Then the Cast Members were moving around trying to get supplies.
Guests were trying to move out of their way.
Everyone was trying to be polite.
But the whole thing turned into a bathroom traffic jam.
There were too many people.
Not enough space.
And not enough cold air.
Anything Special?
This bathroom is in Tomorrowland…
But it doesn’t really feel like Tomorrowland.
I did like the restroom sign with the metal grate detail.
That worked.
That felt futuristic.
But then there were bright yellow accents that felt a little too happy and cheerful for the rest of the design.
The wall tile was actually pretty.
But did it feel futuristic?
Not really.
Did it match the yellow?
Also not really.
The whole design felt confused.
The Official Ruling
Situation: Overwhelming
Cold Air: Not enough
Stalls: Needs more for this location
Paper: Standard Disney paper
Flush: Standard
Noise: Very loud
Smell: Too many people, too much heat
Handwashing Area: Crowded
Decor: Some good ideas but not enough Tomorrowland
Accessibility: Difficult with the crowd and tight space
Overall Comfort: Stressful
Final Verdict
This poor bathroom is trying.
It really is.
But the location is too popular, the space is too small, and the air conditioning needs some futuristic Tomorrowland power.
It is not the worst bathroom.
It is not terrible.
It is just overwhelmed.
And honestly…
I am really glad I didn’t have to use it.
