| AK restrooms... am I the only one who didn't know this? Most restrooms around WDW parks don't have doors, you just walk in and around a corner, but AK restrooms ALL have doors. Why? So guests have a safe place to go in case an animal gets out in the parks! I had no idea...

 . Knowing Disney, we have more to fear from the 2 legged variety than the 4 legged. But now that you mention it, thinking back to our last trip, no I didn't really notice this. Of course I might have had we done more of AK than EE, but we didn't. I'll have to pay attention next month when we go though.

| You just made me remember that I learned that in a class at the Denver Zoo. All zoo restrooms must have doors for that reason. I had completely forgotten that. Now the real question: Just how many guests can a restroom hold?

| I never really noticed that . . . but now that you mention it, I bet I check it out in December.  The having doors to protect from possible animal escapees does make an awful lot of sense though!

| I've never noticed but will be on the look out next time. Perhaps it's to protect the animals from us not the other way round.. We don't want to scare them.

| Something I didnt know, guess it makes sence since all the store doors are wide open and getting them closed quick would probably be hard but like someone else said how many people can really fit into a bathroom. Is this a true fact? Very interesting to say the least.

| I can just see it now - AK guests fight over room in the restrooms to seek safety.
