Cotton towel dispensers test as most sanitary way to dry ones hands, with air dryers being the least sanitary. The towel in the dispenser isn't refused but is unrolled, used, and then folded into a used section before it's changed out for a sanitized one. Air dryers get stuff like e. Coli near the vent and then they're not really never cleaned well.

I still have a mental image of one of those towels in an older restaurant bathroom back in my hometown that was discolored, stained, etc. No thank you LOL. I don't use air dryers now either. I'll just let the air naturally dry my hands.

Yes, admittedly it required placed to actually change the towels and not just reload the same towel. A lot of things are better in concept than reality. 😆

Thankfully, no. However, when it's super hot out, I have some stomach cramping.
that's helpful.

(didn't seem right to click 'like'.)

In the warmer months it is also easy to get dehydrated, and sometimes without realizing it. We try to remind each other to drink plenty of liquid, and not all water. Fruit juice is sometimes great, or pineapple where we can find it. The Poly's table serve places used to have pineapple juice, and it was so refershing. I was recently glad to see the Dole Whip stand offers (plain) pineapple juice.

When you’re a kid, and your pants legs are cleaner than those towels…
Off topic- but you reminded me of a very old memory:

Ages ago, an old-time department store near where I grew up had toilets with sanitizing UV lights. (Back when going downtown to go shopping was a thing.)

When you pulled the seat down, it also had a kind of plastic wrapper that automatically refreshed. (Or maybe that is what they had later?) When you let go, the seat shot back upright and the purple light came back on.

Patrons had to pay a nickel to enter the stall. You put a coin in a pay box and cranked the handle of the lockbox to open the door, a bit like a gumball machine.

I wasn't afraid of the seat itself, but I was a little afraid of getting locked in the stall or that the seat might somehow fling me when I was very little.

It also had one of the cloth hand towels.

Question for everyone :
Have you ever experienced digestive problems at WDW? By that I don't mean motion sickness, but rather a stomach flu or similar illness.

Prior to 2018, it was rare for any of us to get sick while visiting WDW. Since 2018 though, on most of our WDW trips at least one of us has wound up getting sick at WDW. I am curious if it is just us, or if others have had the same problem?

We have not had this problem when staying at Universal or offsite, over many stays at Universal. Only rarely has anyone ever been sick when we vacationed anywhere else or stayed offsite.

I did get a very violent upset stomach after eating in Canada Le Cellier , I’m sure it was the onion sprinkle that they add to the steak, if your prone to this, ask them to remove the onion, I didn’t, and suffered after, onions don’t agree with me one bit, steak was amazing though . Would go back ( without onion )

Everyone in our party that ate the same thing at LeCellier had the same problem and none of us have food sensitivities/allergies.

In 2018, something I ate from a Food & Wine booth didn't sit right and I had to dash into bathrooms near the UK pavilion to avoid having to purchase new shorts.

Then in 2019 on our honeymoon, my new wife found herself in hospital for 2 days after a gallbladder attack. Obviously the gallstones she'd been unaware of weren't caused by food at WDW, but it seems that a spicy dish at Sanaa tipped her over the edge and induced the attack!
