@DGracey , I jut quoted you because it pertains to how I personally feel about maintenance at WDW.
While I agree with you about deserving a better WDW, I also feel compelled to point out that while this is good news that the beams are being cleaned, it is also sad that basic maintenance and upkeep such as this has gotten to a point that we as guests are excited to see it done and compliment them for doing it. I am not just speaking about the beams but about the Monorails and the entire resort in general.
It really speaks volumes about the mindset that Disney has created in the customer when we praise them for doing basic upkeep such as carpet or pressure washing. (not referring to you

) Building a new attraction may cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but cleaning the Monorails does not. Maybe because theyve ignored them for sooooo long it may cost a little extra to get them up to snuff, but that is their fault. With prices on everything from resorts to AP's skyrocketing, they have no excuse, neither does any Disney defender lurking on these boards waiting to lash out at anybody who dares to speak ill of the company.
I will say that they have stepped it up a bit lately and the WDW that we want, expect, and deserve is slowly returning. Still a ways to go, IMO. I will also praise them for an amazing job at brainwashing and conditioning peoples minds to accept the shoddy upkeep theyve practiced for over a decade and how it has allowed them to look like super heroes when they decide to finally paint a wall or change the urinal cakes in the mens room. /rant.
