He wasn't posting an opinion. He was posting a fact. He saw kids playing on them. Others have seen people complaining about them. I have seen both as well. While it is "against the rules," some kids see it as a play area (there's an idea - Eisner's Playful Spot, where kids can climb all over the pictures that have been mounted to slides and such). I brought some friends to Epcot for the first time last May and one of the first comments after entering the Park was, "Who died?" I then had to explain the whole thing to them, to which one said, "It's like they buried Walt here or something." Now, while I have not seen the bird droppings, I also don't get close enough to them to notice those kinds of details. I weave though them as quickly as possible. But I don't find it at all hard to believe that birds can and do ________ on them.
As for those who are complaining because some people are complaining, can you honestly tell me that every little thing Disney does is perfect? Every attraction is great? I'm sorry, I love Disney, but I won't hestitate to say if I think something is not up to "Disney standards," as I have interpreted them from the past. Things like the Wand, the Hat, and the Tombstones (all from approximately the same time period. Coincidence? I don't think so) don't strike me as particularly good show and if someone like Mousemerf (or myself)wants to create a thread slamming something he doesn't like or thinks is a failure, then it is his right to do so. It is also your right to post and opposite opinion if you want, but to complain because he's trying to lift Disney up to what he (or I) believe is a higher standard again is, in my opinion, wrong. If you don't like the thread and you think it is too negative, there's nothing keeping you in it. The red "x" at the top right corner of your screen will close it immediately and you can get back to threads that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
