Disneyland makes people go a little crazy. In fairness, spending thousands of dollars on a family vacation only to spend most of it standing in line would drive anyone but the most stoic Tibetan monk insane. But do we really need to lose our heads so completely that we start letting children relieve themselves in line?


For a few months now, people have been taking to the r/WaltDisneyWorld subreddit to complain about parents letting their children go number two while in line for rides. Yes, as in this has happened more than once. One such post was made in September and reads, “I am in the queue for RotR — someone let their kid take a dump on the floor and then they just walked out and left it. WTF?” (For the uninitiated, RotR is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, a ride at Hollywood Studios.)



A commenter corroborated OP’s claim, revealing that there were no less than three shit-related incidents at Rise of the Resistance that day, and they were present for all three of them. Happiest place on Earth indeed.


In the comments of a post about the most disturbing thing people have seen at the parks, a different commenter who claimed to be a cast member wrote, “I have seen a lot. Bodily fluids no longer bother me after working at Disney. Let’s just say that the attraction I work at has what the cast ended up dubbing ‘the poop hall’ because of the amount of times guests have gone in there and pooped. We even put up a camera and it didn’t stop it.”


The ride in question is Avatar Flight of Passage, for anyone keen to know so they can avoid the “poop hall” like their lives depend on it. Forewarned is forearmed!



In an article about the viral Reddit posts, SFGate pointed out that such incidents are not a recent phenomenon. In fact, two former Disney custodial workers wrote about their time at the parks in Cleaning the Kingdom: Insider Tales of Keeping Walt’s Dream Spotless. In one chapter, the authors reveal that cast members have a code word for these situations: “Human Code H,” with the “H” originally referring to “horsecrap” thanks to Main Street’s horses and their tendency to shit wherever they please.


One Redditor, who has IBS and detailed a near-miss while in line for Test Track, shared a solution to the problem that’s extraordinarily simple — it’s genuinely confusing that Disney hasn’t implemented it yet. Their suggestion? “As new rides are built, Disney should include a couple restrooms in the queue.”


Problem solved, and a literal shitty situation averted!
