The same people who demand comps and free food because their day was ruined by a drizzle of water on Splash. I want to hear one of them screaming at a CM because they were promised HP would be here at DW and he wasn't. It WILL happen. Trust me.

Thank you for reminding us that we need to make sure we ask them at City Hall about this, Bob Paris, duckling. Next time I'm at the park I'm gonna' march right up to City Hall and demand some answers!

But I don't think anyone mistakes that the Disney bathrooms are a world unto themselves.

And most people fall into the first. >>> Themeing matters in restrooms.<<< Those little quail tiles make SUCH a difference, such a difference...
