When hinges creek in doorless restroom stalls...
Ah, gay Paris. This is the magical place where Disney executives had American Imagineers design an Old West themed hotel to the specs of what they felt French people expected the American Old West to look like.
Authentic manhole covers.
This Old West theme continues in Frontierland, which is pretty much the same as its American counterparts.
Yup, just like Walt Disney World.
Except that it’s not. This place blows away its American counterparts. Where’s Tom Sawyer’s Island, you say? I got your Tom Sawyer right here. Big Thunder IS the island, man! And that Mansion Manor! As far as I’m concerned, Walt was wrong. He famously said, “We’ll take care of the outside and we’ll let the ghosts take care of the inside.” I say, “If it is destined to be a dilapidated dump through eternity on the inside, let it be a dilapidated dump through eternity on the outside too.”
What a dump…an awesome, awesome dump.
This Frontierland version is the correct way. This is a true Disney weenie if I ever saw one. I am immediately drawn here as soon as I see it in the distance. I’m drawn here almost as much as I am drawn to the accompanying restroom.
If stretching rooms and disembodied heads make you say, “this scares the crap out of me,” then why not take a left turn at the Phantom Manor entrance?
Leading up to stately Phantom Manor, you’ll see beautiful Frontierland buildings, and transitions to the haunted décor (see how I included some French in there?) we all know and love.
Pointy ironwork = haunted. Every. Single. Time.
The restroom is the last stop on the left along that row. This restroom is fairly deserted, as it should be. Adds to the aura of foreboding, you know.
There are two other restrooms in Frontierland, one across from Big Thunder Mountain and one by the entrance to the land/awesome fort.
The little man with a gun means “restroom” for some reason.
This one is the most well-themed in Frontierland, though that is one insignificant man’s opinion. Everything at Parc Disneyland is well-themed, even if it is a bit topsy-turvy at times.
Counter-clockwise riverboats? What a world!
As far as I’m concerned, this is the best restroom in a land filled with excellence. Frontierland is phenomenal, and would be my favorite land if they made one small change/addition.
Can I get a “Montagne de Demarrage” over here?
