I'm gonna have to get up there!

It looks like something straight out of the middle ages, with the addition of a plasma TV for good measure. The only thing I think I would have done differently is pick a less-square looking toilet, so I guess they did a pretty great job on this, if that's the only problem I can find with it.

As for Pooh-ing in the woods, I know you were just being funny, but just for the record, there were toilets in castles. Typically, the hole was over an outside wall, so the poop would land, well, outside. For interior toilets, there were cesspits too, that had to be cleaned out periodically.

This is no different. Make it look nice to entice...it's the first rule of advertisement. >>Very good question! DVC perhaps? << Or finally turn it into the Honeymoon suite once proposed for that space?? I don't think there is anyone in management at WDW that would care anymore if people looked up at the castle and wondered who is making whoopy up there at any given time.. Of course.. mommy and daddy can send the kids downstairs into the park while they do just that... and I suspect that sooner or later, we'll start seeing online photos of couple makingout in those same regal, satin Cinderella beds. I can't wait to see those and Disney's reaction to them!!!

But I realize it's easier to film fake stuff than the real thing.
