Fantasyland's Tangled Rest Area Elevates The Theme Park Bathroom

The Magic Kingdom's New Fantasyland offers guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort a great new selection of new rides, shops, shows and eateries to spend their times enjoying. The Imagineering team created some truly enchanting environments for guests to enjoy like Storybook Circus and the Enchanted Forest. Yet, one of the most notable areas of all may in fact be some new bathrooms. Located along the walkway between Fantasyland's Small World and Liberty Square's Haunted Mansion - Rapunzel's tower sits high above a waterfall offering a focal point to draw guests down the path to the rest area.

The waterfall turns into a refreshing stream that leads the way to Fantasyland. As guest cross the bridge in this transition area the air becomes filled with cheerful music. It's obvious that guests have entered the charming village from Tangled as it's about to celebrate the birth of the Princess. Tall trees offer shade from the sun in the summer months, and guests move along the path lined with interesting props to see like Flynn Rider's bag, Maximus' horse shoe prints, wanted posters, and plenty of frying pans.

Above the walkways hang bright lanterns and banners painted with the familiar sunshine motif. At night they illuminate the area with a warmth and beauty that one doesn't generally expect from a theme park bathroom. The walls are painted with colorful art that Rapunzel could have drawn herself. There is plenty room to park a stroller in the courtyard and let the kids run around while you wait for the rest of the party to take care of necessities. A scavenger-hunt for ten of Pascal's chameleon friends hidden in the landscape encourages guests to linger and enjoy the extensive landscaping, or simply keep kids distracted while the grown ups take a break.

One of the most unique features of the rest area is the "D-zone" which offers a series of small tables and benches positioned right next to six charging stations that offer both electrical outlets to plug in to. This spot is not only a benefit to guests using mobile electronic devices, but for travelers who need to recharge mobile medical devices or powered wheelchairs it's a small marvel. I sincerely hope that Disney continues to create more spaces like this one.

It's an immersive, well themed area that offers a fun and comfortable respite in the midst of touring the Magic Kingdom. Have you seen the Tangled Rest Area yet? What did you think?
