So I just got in this morning from WDW (Sigh) Everything was great. ZERO crowd, great weather, good service all around - you name it. EXCEPT for one thing which REALLY agitated me. Now, I'm not one to get upset over small, foolish issues. Not the type at all to stomp my feet when things don't go my way, but I couldn't help but get upset when me and my girlfriend were denied use of the restrooms last night on our way out of MK.
We were finishing up our day at the park and were trying to squeeze in as many attractions as possible before MVMCP got underway. We did not have tickets to the event, but were aware of MK's regular hours and of the fact that they would seal off the attractions from us regular folks, which is all well and good. No issue with that whatsoever. We were able to jump from the Haunted Mansion over to Space Mountain before the event got underway to end our night on a high note, but once we exited SM and attempted to use the restrooms near-by we were stopped.
"Do you have a wristband?"
Huh?! We need wristbands to in order to use the restrooms? Seriously? Are you kidding me?!
Neither one of us gave the woman an attitude, but we did tell her how ridiculous it was that we were being prompted for a wristband...unless, of course, the restrooms were filled with snow. :lookaroun All she could muster up was that the normal park hours had ended (by a mere 10-15 mins) and sent us off with a half-hearted "Have a nice night" Ugh.
Like I said, I'm on board with Disney reserving the attractions for an event for those who paid the extra dollars, but the restrooms? Come on. Would they deny a parent with a small child? How about an elderly man or woman? I was just baffled and extremely annoyed by the whole thing.
