The Marionette’s Toilette

Pinocchio

When you wish upon a restroom, it’s probably because there isn’t one nearby.  Okay, it may not as catchy as the original version, but the lyrics are way more true to life.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but I find Paris’ Parc Disneyland to be fantastic.  And the most fantastic land at this fantastic park may just be the fantastic Fantasyland.

The construction walls and crane are just so well themed.

Why is it so fantastic, you might ask?  You might say that it has to do with the stories told there.  They are mostly European in origin, so it gave imagineers the chance to construct Fantasyland as an idyllic old-tyme Europe.  You might say that you get the beauty of Medieval Europe without the Crusades, plague, or overwhelming stench.  You might say that this Fantasyland is loaded with so many attractions that you could spend half a day here.

People tend to smoke wherever they feel like, however.

These are all fair reasons as to why you might say that this Fantasyland is fantastic.  I, however, might say that this land has three full dedicated restrooms, making for the most in any land at Parc Disneyland, and a full half of the grand total over as sister park Walt Disney Studios.  Here’s a couple:

Restroom to your left, Happy Cruise straight ahead and far!

It’s a small world far away.

Besides Mr. Toad and the far distant Bella Notte, there is the restroom next to “Les Voyages de Pinocchio.”

Pinocchio is well represented on the American side of the pond, with both restaurants and attractions.  In France, his ride is basically the same as in Anaheim, but he gets a restroom too!

This restroom is fairly popular, not because Pinocchio is so popular, but because of its strategic placement.  This is the primary (though not the closest) pitstop for guests disembarking the train for Fantasyland.  It is also the closest restroom to the Caribbean.

Thar be fancy trash cans here.  Yar.

Not to mention, or not to miss mentioning, it is the closest to all Fantasyland dark rides.  That makes this restroom more appealing than Pleasure Island to a bunch of naughty boys.  No donkeys here though.

So, if you are a real boy, and you have something other than strings holding you down, you’ll probably want to hi-diddle-dee-tail it over to Bella Notte.

Or just leave all together.
