I too, love the smells, music, and all the other finishing touches, but I have always, and I mean ALWAYS, been fascinated by WDW's trash cans ever since I wrote a report in fifth grade about how they were themed to their respective lands. I had a slew of pics from back in the seventies, but have since lost them. Being a man of detail, I shifted my love of refuse containers into another slightly misunderstood category: public restrooms. Luckily I keep this interest to the property of WDW. I have some nostalgic connection to the ones in the pass through from Frontierland to Adventureland. I also like the ones in the lobby of the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Does anyone here have any favorite restrooms? Or do I need to seek counseling?

THe automatic sinks were a new thing in the early '90s, ish. More recent are the hand dryers that sound like they were made by GE's jet engine division. Noticed them first next to Pinocchios restaurant. THose things could propel a little kid across the floor. Oh, and posting messages here on LP is the best counseling.

Originally Posted By ssWEDguy I was always fascinated by the extra-extra-deep paper towel waste receptacles built back into the walls, underneath the dispensers. I haven't seen that done anywhere else. What a good idea. Simple, and effective.

Originally Posted By Anacon I always liked the hi tech aspect. The first time I saw auto sensing faucets, toilets and paper towel dispencers was in a Disney bathroom. It's not the bathrooms I like, but how the magic of Disney makes it's way into the bathrooms.

That's something you would NEVER see at Tokyo Disney Resort. Speaking of that, I really like the themed trashcans they use at TDL for Halloween. Pretty cool.
