New Main Street U.S.A bypass to be built to address entry and exit congestion at the Magic Kingdom

You know what's funny?
I was in MK 3 days this week. Only time I saw it opened was around parade and fireworks times. I walked through it once as main street was preparing for MSEP and I wanted to get to tomorrowland. Looks good so far. Still some areas they are finishing up.

Apparently DisneyLand wanted the latticework above your head so you cannot see the fireworks from the bypass. That way nobody wants to stand there and watch the fireworks and the crowds keep moving.

That is definitely a problem with the current one as well, but the bypass is large enough (and not many people back there during fireworks anyway), that as long as a CM does their job and approaches the group ("I'm sorry guys, but this is just a walkway so you can't watch the fireworks, but if you keep going, you'll come out at the end of main street and have an even better view! Have a great night!"), which they normally do back there, and doesn't allow the bypass to become clogged, than there's no reason for the lattice.

I've only been through twice but I haven't noticed either time there being a huge issue with anyone stopping. Most people slightly glance up but keep walking. And there's often enough room. I like what it's becoming. It's rare to get a quiet spot in the parks anymore and the bypass is nice to walk through.

The bypass is supposed to be just that, a bypass. A path where you walk around the huge crowds that are watching the parade/fireworks instead of having to fight through them. Putting up walls and tall landscaping to block all the ugly backstage stuff, in my opinion, is a perfect way to handle this situation. If they make it look too well themed it kind of defeats the purpose because the last thing they want people to do is think it's an actual themed area of the park because it's not (if they're going to do that, they need to actually redevelop the area which there is no reason to do).

And still, attractions, environments and transportation were maintained and clean to within an inch of their lives.

Cleanliness of the parks never used to bother me, but as of the last two years I've noticed Main Street at the end of the night smells of garbage so bad I feel sick (We usually hang a bit late waiting for the bus stops to clear out.) I understand not being able to do so during the fireworks and parades, but is it that hard to empty the garbage bins at night?

The custodial guys generally do great work and maintain their routes very well within the staffing levels that are budgeted. It's a more institutional problem, I think, in aging areas where garbage is temporarily stored, as well as lots of places needing a deep pressure clean. There are a ton of areas all over the parks where AC units need to be changed out/cleaned/maintained, carpets and walls/paint need to be redone, sewer gas smells are leaching...a lot is age not being addressed.
