Do they ever replace the burned out bulbs? Cause I've been coming the last 3 years and I seem to see more and more burned out bulbs. Nitpicking I know, just curious.

They used to replace them proactively, before they burnt out. But lately it's been much more lax, if at all.
Thank you... aesthetically speaking, I think it makes it look lazy and guest aren't worth it to keep up the place. Anyway again thanks for answering I appreciate it.

I notice lights out everywhere, especially in MK. I really notice if its the same ones trip after trip.

For instance, the 1st time I rode the Little Mermaid ride, I noticed that both eel's had only one glowing eye. I thought to myself that they really should fix that. After seeing them out after multiple more rides, I mentioned to my wife how bad it looked that they haven't fixed those eyes in over a year. She proceeded to tell me that's how they looked in the movie. Oops...😂

Who has time to look at the rooftop lights? Too many guests that I see in my travels are too busy looking face down staring into their iPhones.😉. Some people I know give a scare to other people staring into their iPhones while they are walking nearby by saying " Heads up!!! ". Gets their attention everytime.
This is so true and I have to be honest I am one of the iPhone starers. I am also a 16 year old teenager who people say we have our phones attached to our hands 24/7. ;)

Hopefully they’ll decide to replace them all in one go with a longer lasting LED or something. It’s a shame they’re left the way they are!

Eh I keep seeing these lights out everywhere. Tonight I noticed more of the lights out at Yacht club and the boardwalk. Yeah I notice these things so what??? After my initial fury of the lights being out, I calmed myself down by saying "it must be hard and risky to replace these bulbs."

Thats exactly the reason, but its not an excuse. Replacing them in a lot of places requires a ton of safety rigging as well as guests to be out of the area of that safety equipment.

Roof maintenance is something that needs to be done. Attachment points for work harnesses should be available for areas that cannot be reached with a telescoping lift.

I would think it should be to the level of importance of needing to repaint the walls to keep a fresh look.. those bulb lights are the "paint" for when the sun goes down.
