I didn't really notice since it was a full train. Haven't been on one when only a few people were in the car.

Appalling state of the monorail cabins

I'm heading down in September and I'm looking forward to seeing how the cabins compare to the last time I was down there. Last time being Sept. 2013.
Well it has been well over a year since my original post on this. So yesterday I took a ride on the monorail system to see how things had changed. It was Monorail Teal. This was what the interior looked like. Just like before, I just boarded the first monorail that came.

FWIW, the carpet is at least new.

Replying just to move the count off of the number after 665 and before 667

Ah, well, it looked the cleanest in relation to everything else, haha. Can't believe that one hasn't been done yet.

That is truly just awful, and looks like a health hazard. (For those of us with asthma, related to allergies)

Tell me you shared these images with customer service, or someone, anyone?
Yes, and this may also be why the AC smells disgusting and doesn't work most of the time. The filtration system doesn't look like it has been maintained in 20 years. BTW, this filter was just hanging from the roof, I didn't pull it down to look inside.
One has to ask, how does the monorail management OK the train to go out for service with guests in this condition?

Good grief, I don't care if that is Monorail Teal and that it hasn't received the updated interior yet. Absolutely unacceptable.
Someone needs to send and tweet that to any and all WDW and Disney related accounts they can find. I think #junkyardinthesky has a certain ring to it.

I watch Travel Channel and see how great the cruise ships look and how much is put into refirb of older vessels to bring them up to standards as compared to the new launches. Too bad the monorails can't get at least a fraction of the attention. I know it is probably apples and oranges, but sad just the same.

That's bad. I've been accused of being a pixie duster. An Iger shill. A TDO servant. But that's really really really really bad.

Haha. Disney doesn't care what a bunch of dweebs on a message board have to say about the monorail. Once again, 90 percent of guests do not notice this stuff at all. And Disney no longer cares about the show, it's all about the money. The guests aren't intelligent enough to see the things right in front of their faces.

I think you're mischaracterizing the problem with Disney's upper management. It's not that they KNOW of these issues and choose to ignore them. It's that they honestly have no clue that the problems exist in the first place because their subordinates don't communicate that information. It's much more likely that managers are blindly assuming how great everything is than them knowing that there are problems and saying "screw it." I'm not sure which is worse.
