Peephole in Epcot bathroom?

[wdwmagic]

Perhaps the wood behind the caulk was rotting from a leak or they got lazy and tried to spread the caulk over some sort of tape. It's not like the rest of the caulking has a professional look to it. It's just some silicone (or siliconized latex) caulk trying to patch an overall embarrassingly bad installation/repair.

Yeah I think this is a botched install and repair, and nothing more sinister.

So are people suggesting that a peephole was actually created at the point of installation?

Who is suggesting that?

Why would there be wood? The wall is steel studs on a concrete curb covered with moisture resistant gypsum board and tile to meet wet wall requirements.

Maybe it goes with the "50 years old" theme....

If I wanted a decrepit, run down, dusty, cobwebbed realistic look I would enjoy the realistic hotel lobby of DHS Tower of Terror.

Water resistant? Gypsum tends to be quite water absorbent.

Then I misunderstood. Is the claim, rather, that some of the materials behind the hole were removed backstage subsequent to the installation?

Yes. It costs more. A common way for people to be ripped off.

Sounds like how we repaired damage to freshman dorm rooms before move-out. Fill holes w/ chewing gum, apply tape, then paint over the hole. And voila, no end of year damage charges.

Toothpaste has saved me many $$$ in move-out assessments.

Some more outer layering and wax enough to claim water resistance the gypsum is still a water absorber. It takes the water a little longer to come into contact with the gypsum core.

The hole looks up, not across at the person using the toilet. The most one could see from it is the ceiling and perhaps the metal bar behind the toilet.

My argument is that a hole in that location would not just be shoddy installation but incredibly shoddy installation accepted and approved by multiple parties. Making a hole after installation requires an electric drill.

Nefarious reasons or not the bathrooms obviously need rigorous inspection and maintenance.

I've used Crest to backfill some holes too. Blends right in.

Disney Stall+ Service!

Makes sense because most of Disney+'s content belongs in the toilet... or Disney Channel.

A visual to accompany my earlier point:

People don’t pull their pants down while standing? There’s also the hover (the results of which I have had to clean up too many times in the past).

Oh wait... there's no difference between a toilet and the Disney Channel.

So you are saying you think the hole was deliberately created at the point of installation?

The hole is at the very back of the toilet, well behind where anyone would place their, well, behind.
