Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

There aren’t that many door handles for WDW guests. Mostly doors easy to push open.
To the extent there are door handles, they aren’t getting 1,000 touches per hour in the exact same spot.

I like the theme park restrooms. The bigger ones don't even have doorways. Sometimes the opposite sex enters the wrong restroom.

I saw these things on restroom doors in town restaurants. Sorry I'm too uncoordinated to stand on one foot and pull the door with my other foot.

Besides the coordination issue, those are hard as hell to use! Especially if you're wearing a shoe without a back (like a sandal or flip-flop) or when the door is at all heavy (which most bathroom doors actually are).

Hmmmm very European. Maybe a renaming might be in order call them Water Closets (W.C.) as in Europe. Europeans consider Americans somewhat prudish so here is an opportunity for WDW to be more international. Glad you pointed this out.

Do you mean guests aren't expected to "rest" in restrooms? Lol

I guess guests can "rest" in restrooms. Personally I see a difference between relieving one self and resting. Not my choice for a place to "Rest". I definitely would look for much better accommodations to "Rest". Good catch.

Exactly. It’s not that hard to get through a theme park without having to handle much with your bare hands.

Its a shame that the number of toilets and urinals far outnumber the number of hand washing sinks in the theme park restrooms.

Well the UK does not consider our restrooms prudish. The people I know from there are unanimous in their distain for the amount of space under the doors and the poor fit of our WCs. The DA restrooms seem to be the only acceptable ones.
I don't care who sees me, we all have the same parts and most are not pretty or sexual to view.

Have you ever been to a Pitt football game? Kinda changes the math.

Also any handle or door pull. Really funny when you think phones and door handles are worse then toilet seats. I always thought they should have towelettes outside the door to open them with. Also, never understood the blow dryers for your hands in the bathrooms but pull door handles to get out of the place. No paper towels so your stuck either grabbing toilet paper or waiting until someone walks in then sneaking out. Am I the only one? Lol

I'll always grab paper towels, a tissue, or use my shirt to open a bathroom door if I have to pull it to get out. If a stall door opens inward then I use my foot to open it. I've seen too many horrors in public bathrooms to ever think any surface is clean.

Exactly, in my experience European public restrooms are better than American ones. Solid doors!

Our trend of decline has definitely slowed down. Still seems to be declining, just less fast. FL is also declining looking at the seven day averages.

True enough, my use of "plateau" was relative.

And some of this public European restrooms are pay as you go.

Haha, have you been in Italy, especially near Rome?

My error, I thought it was "European" bathrooms, not only those in UK.

Yes an interesting experience for Americans is encountering the restroom attendants and there is tipping.

It never seemed strange to me being from the metro NY area. Nicer clubs and restaurants had attendants you were expected to tip

Hard Rock Live Orlando has an attendant? that only collects dollars to hand you a paper napkin, disgusting conditions yet he has his hand out. Maybe he is the equivalent of the corner solicitor or windshield washer but a very bad look for the venue. I have encountered him over three visits
In any case they have to do something for me before I might pony up. Too much like being held hostage and "muy freedom" reigns supreme in this country so no tip unless you preform a service

I work in an office building, one day a guy fell asleep sitting down in a stall...literally snoring away loudly with his pants around his ankles. We decided to go in and make a lot of noise to wake him up without embarrassing him. He’s just lucky his legs hadn’t fallen completely asleep
