The End of a Royal Era (and the start of a new one)

[innerSpaceman]

The famed Prince and Princess restrooms on the east side of Sleeping Beauty Castle have been remodeled and re-christened. They are now the King and Queen restrooms.


For quite some time, there have been two sets of Prince and Princess bathrooms - - the others are over near the Fantasyland Theater, across from it's a small world. But these are boring, featureless and dull - - and the long-preceeding, original Prince and Princess restrooms were charming for their castle-walls locale and unique for their two-way entry and exits.

Well, the two-ways in and out of these restrooms is a thing of the past ... gone along with the names which I will have a hard time not calling them. The north entries have been walled up, with one turned into a bizarre alcove.

The good news is that the remodel is swell. Go take a leak, er look when you get a chance. The interiors have been themed to the nearby Alice in Wonderland attraction - with nifty black and red diamond tile borders and, best of all - playing card toilet stall doors (that will probably be a maintenance nightmare).

"King and Queen" is more aptly themed to Alice also, but I will miss the more generic, Castle-themed "Prince and Princess" moniker that has graced these graceful restrooms for decades ... if not since Day One for all I know.

The restrooms seem smaller now that there's only one way in or out. But they are undeniably prettier. Go see 'em or use 'em soon - while the pretty is on!
