Inb4 the "Disney is too cheap to install foot showers" crowd comes in to defend this

After a long, hot day walking in Florida heat, I wouldn't be averse to cooling off my feet. I personally wouldn't, but I understand someone doing so. *Shrug*

"Cleansing" is a bit of a stretch, unless there's a bar of soap somewhere in this picture that I'm not seeing.

I thought that was one of the drinking fountains ...

Spoiler

Maybe they are rehydrating through osmosis ?

Well I stayed in this cheap motel in Kissimmee last trip and from the shower only came occasional squirts of brown-ish water and so because we are classy we decided it is better to wash in those fountains they have rather than using the pool hopping to wash as I saw some of those trailer people do and now people still complain sheesh.

In other parts of the world, this is the exact purpose of public fountains. Although in other parts of the world the fountains are fed and flushed by springs, not recirculated by a pump.

Yea, that is just cooling ones feet, I'd say the cleansing is a bit of a stretch and unless one is planing to drink any of it in the near future, I can't think of a single reason to care.

Question though, if that is something that should bother anyone... how can using a swimming pool not be a vomit inducing experience. That encompasses so much more then just feet.

Spoiler

If anyone is about to throw in the chlorinated aspect... the fountains are treated as well.

Really? You're really going to get frustrated at people in flip-flops who have been subjected to Florida heat looking to cool off? Come on.

Well, it is Morocco after all and their religion does that. And they do have foot washing sinks in the Morocco Pavilion break rooms.

Full disclosure: In 2007 my wife and kids did this in the American Pavilion fountain, but were told by a CM not to do that. Kids feet were so hot
and sore that I didn't even think about. Once the CM said not to it clicked in my brain, Oh yeah that makes sense.

Stupid tourists!

I have never done it but I do understand why someone would and have no problem with it at all. Can't even think of a single reason why it would matter at all. Oh, well... different strokes for different folks I guess.

Gotta use the fountains now as you can't cleanse your feet in the lakes any more

 

[The Empress Lilly]

Look at this hillbilly bathing in the park fountains!

You can actually do that and it has a built in perk. You no longer have to pay out for pedicures or shoes for that matter.

I hear it's an upcharge event now and you have to purchase these ,

While i wouldnt do it ( that fountain water is probably a real biology experiment) I can't think why I would care if someone else wants to cool off their feet. It's still more sanitary than what I saw at the Cinderella fountain behind the castle. A mother changing her 6 month old's diaper ( just guessing it's age), and doing a dip and rinse of the baby's bottom half. Now, THAT'S disgusting.

Rhode Spared no Expense...

And we wonder why that the majority of Former fountains in the park were turned to Flower gardens....Especially the ones around Caribbean plaza..

 

[Disneyhead'71]

Interesting. I wasn't aware of this. Although I don't think this is what the Imagineers had in mind when they built the fountain. I just thought it was common courtesy to not do such a thing. I guess I'm just old fashioned.

This doesn't bother me as much as people flopping all over the new MK Hub. It looks like a homeless camp.

We were there in Oct and that was my thought exactly...
