With no restroom in Japan and the next in Germany, having such a large location at the halfway point for World Showcase is an awesome addition!

There is actually a restroom next to the Katsura Grill (CS place) in Japan. The access is from the outside & you don't have to go into the restaurant to get to the restrooms. It's really small, so there is sometimes a line, but they are tucked far enough back, I don't think a lot of folks realize that they are there.

That one has no baby changing table in the men's room! For shame, Disney! For shame!

Nope Dont like it. It should have been an American Dark Ride or a American Mickey Meet and Greet. I hate everything about this. Having Restrooms for people to releive themselves, really? this is disney world. Where is my highly themed Dark ride that this area lacked. Im sorry The Imagineers failed. it took too long for them to open this from the date it was announced. you never saw any workers during contruction and universal had their open quicker. not impressed ;)

Con:

- No benches for the people waiting outside. Do they have to sit on the flower beds?
(Personally, I am beginning to suspect benches are removed to force people into restaurants for rest and relaxation)
- The entire garden area has been reduced to a toilet area. Noboy can linger here anymore. After all, who hangs out in front of a bathroom?
- What is that wooden 'construction beam' portico all about? That is not a proper covering, that is the building skeleton.
- What is that material on top anyway? A piece of transparant plastic? Above the portico? Are they serious?
- Weird mixture between traditional and modern style elements, everywhere. For example the tiles, some of which look like 1895 wallpaper, some like 1995 swimming pool tiles. (I understand that in a way this is the new design sensibility for the entire pavilion, to make the AA contemporary instead of periodical, the design therefore reflecting layers of history on top of each other)
- Period elements feel like mere additions, without proper thought to function or use. For example, the curved wooden 'window frames' around the mirrors. 'Let's add some traditional style elements...gimme the catalogue....oh look!...these window frames we can glue to the wall by the mirrors'.
- Too many colour schemes at once.
- AA CM's wear flight attendant costumes now. Perhaps unrelated at first sight, but like the bathrooms the new uniforms stink.


Pro:
- Classy, restrained signage everywhere.
- The bathrooms do not look cheap. A bit like the repurposed 20k plot in FL, or the Rapunzel bathrooms, you can not fault TDO for being cheap.
- More bathrooms were seriously needed in this area. This IS TDO catering to actual guest wellbeing, investing money without direct return.
- Erm...

A restroom IS a dark ride -- if you close your eyes and flush repeatedly. ;)

That would have been nice to know a couple years ago when I was doing the "march of the penguins" over to Morocco....

There's been a lot of talk about new pavilions, but at the end of the day, I'd much rather enjoy a nice bathroom break than spend my money at a Brazilian steakhouse anyway.

Only one question remains: when are the Phase 3 restrooms coming?

The Phase 3 restrooms will be FastPass+ only, no hold it que...err, standby queue, and thus won't happen until mouse arrest bands are available to everyone.
