The bathrooms and drinking fountains are winterized, and won't open up until early April. It doesn't mean that those things aren't available (they are), but you will probably have to get off the trail so you can get them at convenience stores, restaurants, etc. You'll also want to bring your own toilet paper (which is usually not necessary for me on the Katy)
You'll be able to find somewhere to camp/sleep without too much difficulty (just knock on a door and ask for permission to do so if nothing else), and/or print off info from this site or use a smart phone to access it. Otherwise, make sure you get hotel/B&B reservations.
If you use a CamelBak and 2 water bottles, and fill them up at every opportunity to do so, you should be fine on liquids.
Bring plenty of your own food, warm and wet weather clothing, tubes/repair stuff/etc. just in case you need them (because they won't be as readily available as they would otherwise be)---not that you wouldn't bring them anyway, but bring extra.
Otherwise, have a great time. Hopefully, the weather will be great.
