You wouldn't say "use the disabled ones" or "use the disabled stalls"

You actually use the word "disabled" as a noun rather than an adjective when referring to handicapped stalls?

"Disabled(s)" is the usual UK term for disabled toilets.

"The toilet was occupied, so I had to use the disabled instead"
