Are they not paying their water bill?

Probably a gator or a group of those snakes and/or roaches are wedged in the water main. Whatever the reason, conservation of water is not going to be a bad thing for any of us, I don't care how much money Disney makes, it doesn't alter the need to conserve. Spin it whatever way you want...it still comes out a positive.

Or it could have been that huge rat running outside of the living with the land building. Sucker was huge.

No, it was a rat about half the size of a football. My son and I saw it on our way to meet back up with the ladies at the bottom of the Land ramp.

Perhaps it was a womp rat escaped from the not yet built Star Wars Land at DHS.

Good old Florida Swamp Rats. They were there first, I guess it's there's to explore. As soon as Disney finds a way to force them to pay for admittance they will stop coming.

After talking at length with DW we will not be forking our vacation dollar over to WDW next year even though that was the plan going into this past trip. I am sure there are those who will comment that they are happy that we will not be going (go ahead) as it means lower crowds but I doubt we are alone. I just feel like the caribbean resorts will show some more appreciation for our dollar than what we have been seeing from TDO.

Not really. I have good friends that live in Florida, and they take water conservation very seriously. It gets too darned dry in the summer for them not to.
I think you've misunderstood your friends. Summer is many things here in Florida, but it isn't too darned dry. Did they maybe say that it got dry in the winter?

Conserving water is great and admirable.

The inability to wash your hands after using the restroom can become unsanitary. People - women especially - sometimes need to wash their hands after using the facilities. When water conservation creates unsanitary conditions, it may have gone too far.

But, again, I do not think Disney is creating unsanitary conditions to conserve water. I think they are doing it to save money. Conserving money is admirable, as well.

However, when they're spending a billion dollars on wristbands, it is difficult to condone saving money on running water.

well, where do you think the money for the wristbands came from? XD
Honestly, I was there this June and didn't notice any water pressure issue. But then, I'm a little absent minded and don't tend to notice such things. I'm also kinda used to public restrooms having crappy water pressure.

I thought about this thread today. There was a thing on the local news about the schools asking parents to please keep the sick kids at home, because some kind of norovirus or something was running through the school.

Wait until a bunch of people get sick at WDW and they trace it back to the parks. Once it is determined that some sinks have no water coming out and others have inadequate pressure...when they figure out that people didn't have reliable running water so that they could wash their hands...THEN the water pressure will come back so fast everyone's head will spin. :D

It's just a matter of time. :)

I see your point, but perhaps I'm in the minority because I've never not been able to wash my hands at any restroom on property. Sure, I've had trouble getting enough water pressure to get a drink at a drinking fountain, but I've always had enough water at sinks to wash my hands.

This has been going on for quite a while. On occasion, you will encounter a faucet from which you cannot get any water. The trickle isn't uncommon and the low pressure is alsmot constant.

It would appear that Disney can afford a billion dollars for wristbands, but cannot afford running water.

It is frustrating.
On the opening day of Disneyland, Walt had to choose between water fountains and working restrooms.

Walt chose restrooms.

It appears Iger and company has had a similar choice to make... :p

I bet that for Walt, it was considered a problem. I think Walt got it sorted out. I know that for many, many years, washing my hands was never an issue in Disney restrooms.

Now, I walk to the sinks with a little, "Please let there be water" feeling and am always happy when there is.
