I'm here for ya!
New question: What new sneaker will be released by Nike this fall ...?

No, I'm totally joking!

In Disneyland, there is only one attraction that has a working bathroom actually inside the attraction. Which attraction is it? For bonus points: Why was this bathroom built?

Star Tours? Random guess, I've never been to California, but it is one of hte ride using an older show building.

I will give you some hints:
1. It is an attraction also present at the Magic Kingdom in Fl.
2. Though it was not built on opening day, it is one of the older show buildings in Disneyland.

Space Mtn?

I'll give you the bonus answer: The reason the bathroom was constructed was because the attraction was originally conceived as a restaurant.

By the way, I've used this restroom before, it may be one of the smallest in the park. Fun fact.

Simple one. What is the name of the company that runs the WDW Jungle cruise?

Is it the Jungle Navigation Company?

By the way, you still haven't gotten mine yet ... Space Mountain has no bathroom - unless you count the one in the exit, which I wouldn't consider part of the attraction Razz

One final hint: It was originally conceived as a restaurant, but I imagine it would have been hard to eat with all that squawking going on.

sorry I thought you said it was space mtn...

The only ride I know that was originally supposed to be a restaurant was Tiki Room

You got it. It was my fault, I should have been clearer that the game was still afoot.
How did I do with your Jungle Cruise question ...

Is it the Jungle Navigation Company?

I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Marty Sklar once, and I got this directly from him:

When it was decided that a thrilling E-Ticket was going to be installed in 1970s Tomorrowland, several ideas were thrown around. Before they landed on Space Mountain, however, the Imagineers had started pitching another idea - in fact, they met with several potential sponsors but could not sell it.

The idea would be similar to Adventures Thru Inner Space where the passengers would shrink down and zoom around inside of an item that was emerging as an exciting new technology.

What was that snazzy object?
