Disney Guest Encouraged to Urinate in Pirates of the Caribbean Ride Waters

In a shocking guest report that recently surfaced online, a Disney visitor recounted an unsettling incident involving a parent encouraging her child to relieve himself in the waters of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (POTC) at Walt Disney World Resort. According to the account, the incident took place years ago, but it has resurfaced in discussions about guest behavior at the park.

The story shared anonymously, described how a woman allegedly encouraged her young son, who appeared to be around 3 years old, to urinate in the ride’s water while they were waiting for their turn at the attraction. The boy initially refused, but the mother continued to insist that “it would be fine” and that “no one would see.”

A Close Call and the Impact on Other Guests

Fortunately, the child did not follow through with his mother’s urging, but the report has left many Disney fans horrified at the idea of such behavior occurring in the parks. Pirates of the Caribbean, one of the most beloved and iconic rides at Disney theme parks worldwide, transports guests through a lively world of pirate adventure—certainly not a place where any guest would expect to encounter such a situation.

The report has sparked a larger conversation about the importance of respect and proper behavior in public spaces, particularly at theme parks like Walt Disney World, which are designed to be magical experiences for people of all ages.

Many fans and guests have taken to social media to express their shock and disappointment over the incident, discussing the lengths some guests go to when they feel inconvenienced by the lack of nearby restrooms. The report, which was during a thread discussing bad guest behavior, says:

“Years ago I heard someone telling their little boy (~3) to pee in the water of POTC. He didn’t, but she kept telling him it would be fine and no one would see.

Last summer I was sitting on a bench and a man beside me poked my service dog’s butthole, laughed, and then went back to eating popcorn. The whole string of events was baffling and disgusting.”

Why Bad Behavior at Theme Parks is a Growing Concern

While this particular story involves an incident that did not escalate into action, its mere suggestion reflects a growing issue of guest misconduct in theme parks. Over the years, there have been multiple reports of inappropriate actions in various areas of Walt Disney World and other parks, ranging from line-cutting to more serious offenses like vandalism and disruptive behavior.

Walt Disney World Resort, which is visited by millions of people every year, prides itself on offering a family-friendly environment. With meticulously designed rides, areas, and entertainment offerings, Disney’s parks rely on the cooperation of guests to maintain a magical and welcoming atmosphere. Incidents of bad behavior, such as the one described in this report, undermine carefully crafted experiences and can negatively impact the enjoyment of other visitors.

Maintaining Proper Park Etiquette

Theme parks, including Disney, provide ample restroom facilities and regularly encourage guests to make use of them to avoid uncomfortable situations. However, incidents like this highlight the importance of personal responsibility and consideration for others when visiting a public venue.

Parents are often tasked with managing their children’s needs during long days at the park, but encouraging inappropriate actions is not the answer. Disney staff members, or cast members, are always available to assist in finding nearby facilities, and the parks provide maps and apps to help guests locate restrooms quickly in case of an emergency.

While incidents like this may seem rare, they serve as a reminder that maintaining a magical atmosphere at Disney parks is a shared responsibility. Disney provides a safe, clean, and fun environment for guests of all ages, but it is up to each visitor to play their part in ensuring that this magic continues for everyone.

Ultimately, respect for others, proper behavior, and common courtesy go a long way in ensuring that everyone at the park can enjoy their visit to the fullest. While this story may have ended without incident, it highlights the need for guests to remember the core principles of decency and respect, especially in a place as special as Disney.
