Numberrrrrr one!!! (I’m not going to indulge in a pun here)….Well if I need to find a restroom on my next visit to Disneyland very soon - I know where to find them!! I always appreciate that Disneyland has a ton of restrooms when nature calls. Usually no lines to wait in either!! Thanks to all the custodians of restrooms everywhere in the Disney Parks. I appreciate you. I actually love the banter between Lynn and Ken, sans guest every now and then. It was a truly fun episode to enjoy.
