Using discuple and perdon

Question

Are all 4 sentences here acceptable?

Disculpe, ¿donde está el baño?

Disculpe, un cafe, por favor.

Perdón, ¿donde está el baño?

Perdón, un cafe, por favor.

I'm sure the first 2 are correct, but could you replace discuple with perdón in both and have them be natural? Do people use perdón in these situations?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Disculpe, ¿donde está el baño? = This is correct and used often to interrupt someone or call their attention to something.

Perdón, ¿donde está el baño? = Perdón and Perdóname are more for forgiving a mistake that you made.

Con permiso = When you want to pass by someone who is blocking your path.

Answer 2

As far as I am concerned I am sure they are interchangeable. They may mean slightly different things but in essence you are being polite before asking your question.

Answer 3

Here, we frequently use "disculpe" and "perdone". Both are very polite.
