Yes, there are restrooms on TSI. There's some in the fort (definitely there) and also one at the dock (I think anyway).

We usually spend at least a half hour walking around. If you like to explore the paths and the caves it'll take a bit of time. Plus is so nice and quiet and shady during the day - it's a great place to escape to. :D
Thanks, Arete. I had checked the map, but they didn't show any there. They need to update those maps better.

Thats great to know, thanks! It sounds like a pretty worthwhile half hour to an hour. We just booked flights in Oct for our trip & I hope we make it there this time, while the kids are at the right age (7 & 4).

I've heard it's overrated, but we're thinking of that as well.

I'm sure I've mentioned this elsewhere, but as far as DL goes, I have nver been on Maliboomer, California Screamin' and ToT.

DH and I ate at Cinderella's Royal table on our last visit (12/09) and we were pleasantly surprised! We had heard that you get "rushed" out. We didn't feel that way at all. We thought the food was excellent, the dessert was to die for, you get your picture taken with Cinderella and just sitting in the castle and seeing the views of Fantasyland are awesome!!! I don't think it's something we would do on every trip just b/c it's a little pricey, but we really did enjoy it!!! I give it two thumbs up! Our waiter also gave me a star wand, which I thought was fun since I'm technically a big kid. :wink:
