Just a mild suggestion. I know that we complain alot on these forums, but why don't we start a petition on change.org or something if we find more proof of this disrepair on the monorails from @wdisney9000.

Even if the intent is genuine, online petitions are going to be slightly less effective than jousting at windmills.

But at least you can then same you attempted to bring about change, your not watching the state erode. You may be right that it never brings about something, but you never know what may happen. Remember: "If you can dream it you can do it".

That's awesome. Although the pics look bad, I think the case is made exponentially stronger
by showing that the neglect is endemic. Good luck to you!

Disney already employs people to read these forums.

Sir, people are complaining about the monorail's condition
OK
Are you going to do anything about it?
Are you paid to ask me questions?
No
Then get back to your Powerpoint presentation and excel files

TEA's numbers are guesstimates. And even hard numbers don't tell a realistic picture of the whole story. If someone pays $16 for a day at DHS/DAK with their Multiday pass and only stay until the afternoon parade. How does this guest count in the"Grand Scheme" of things?

I very rarely post comments, but I just have to with this thread because it's kind of funny that someone here decided to post photos of something I've been complaining about the last few days. I'm currently at WDW finishing up a week long vacation and have been spending the whole week pointing out all of the things that need to be repaired and/or cleaned, to my husband [and oh, there is SO much!]. I've said "if only I lived in the Orlando area so I could start a blog, document all of these things, and make it so others could post their finds as well to shame Disney and their complete lack of concern!". But alas, I live too far away to do such a thing! Is there anything like this out there? I really wish there was; I would be more than happy to contribute documentation, as I'm sure many of you would too!
Would it be bad form to experiment and put a small sticker on a seat or window and check back on it a few hours later or the next morning to see how long it takes for them to remove it? I could use a Universal Studios sticker. If it wasnt removed within 24 hours and I had pics to prove it that would be hilarious. It would also be sad.

Then do the same thing with an "I LOVE DISNEY" sticker see if it takes the same amount of time.
Good idea. I seriously will try both to get an equal baseline.

Its the fair scientific approach.
What would be the best way to obtain a Uni sticker w/o actually going there?
Indeed. Without it we are just savages

We went to the MK for rope drop several months ago. We boarded the resort monorail but we were way too early for rope drop, so we just rode around the loop for about nine or ten trips. It was hot outside and we decided to stay in the air conditioned comfort of the monorail until it got closer to opening time for the MK.
While riding around the loop, we noticed that one of the monorail doors was not fully closing. At the transportation and ticket center a monorail maintenance technician began to work on the door by repeatedly kicking the door with his foot in an attempt to force the door back into proper alignment. He got it to close but it was still out of alignment. We went around on another loop and when we got back to the T&TC, the same technician was there and now had a piece of lumber (a 2x4 about 3 feet in length) and used that to pry the door into shape.
While all this was going on, another technician was telling the door mechanic that the door latch was not lined up properly and that they needed to override the latch switch. We went around the loop again and back at the T&TC the lead technician (the doorman) opened up a panel on the door and cut then spliced some wires in the door. He used duct tape to splice the wires. After this repair the door was in much better alignment but still slightly warped. On our next loop the technicians were gone from the T&TC but we were thankful that these technicians had the skill to make critical repairs on the fly with improvised tools!

I would think a simple small round circular sticker would suffice. Similar to what is used when doing a punchlist walk through of a new house.

"Everybody thinks that Disneyland is a gold mine-but we have had our problems. You've got to work it and know how to handle it. Even trying to keep the park clean is a tremendous expense. And those sharp pencil guys tell you, 'Walt, If we cut down on maintenance, we'd save a lot of money'. But I don't believe in that- it's like any other show on the road. It must be kept clean and fresh."

if enough evidence (pictures, video) was collected, would any media outlet be willing to do a story
