UPDATE 8/14/2024: After video review, it was determined that the last person to enter the Mickey’s Kingdom restroom was a plumber who was scheduled to remove the toilet after a clogging issue. The toilet was subsequently shattered during removal. The door was locked, after the attempted removal, so occupants wouldn’t use the facility but was then left unlocked after being cleaned by maintenance. We are happy to report this was a case of miscommunication and not criminal mischief.
