our first visit was ruined by this disgusting cleaning

[englanddg]

Whether it's s doodlebug or a mop or a rag makes zero difference.

I'm stunned that you made the distinction that a guest shouldn't see it, rather than that it shouldn't be done at all.

Gross.

You are "stunned". What exactly are you "stunned" about? Oh, my, you'd love to see your local restaurant, but I'm sure you'll tell me they care about you, and that you know them personally, and saw their closing procedures...and know all about this industry as a result.

I'll wait, you will.

 

[englanddg]

I'm stunned as well.... It's shocking that the bar is set so low now....

See what I wrote.

Fourth, yeah, she shouldn't have gone from floor to table, I said that, but hygienically it looks far worse than it really is, and that is true. Still a procedure I wouldn't let a guest be privy to.
Yes, there are things you as Guests are not privy too, such as how they clean your kid's snot off rides (I am not kidding, I've done it).

And yes, this looked like a girl who got a bit over-enthusiastic to do her wipe down with the moral equivalent of a squirt or 20 of her anti-bacterial...which is so much less effective than your hand squirt stuff...

Because, before that, kids died all the time in the US, especially at Disney. Disney was a deathtrap. Thank god.

Sorry, my eyes can only roll so many times.

I'm of the opinion that this was, if not a one-off incident, then one that happens rarely. If this kind of behavior happened more often, we'd have heard about it well before now.

There have been many things I have witnessed in my life that have disturbed me on different levels, but this video and incident should hot have 'ruined' anyone's vacation.

This was not Disney emptying the rat traps around the property in front of guests, taking the carcasses and grinding them into sausage patties.

This wasn't a guest running into the path of the Maleficent float during the FoF parade and getting barbecued and Disney leaving the charred remains on the roadway as a warning to other guests.

This was something that is pretty nasty, but whenever I sit at a fast food table I have to assume that it has not been sanitized and that the person before me may have snotted, licked, picked, pooped or whatever on the the surface. None of my food ever touches the table, and if it does, it is discarded. To ask for your room to be comped is an overreaction to a ridiculous degree.

Sorry. I don't see your logic.

This is not something that "happened" to someone. This is something that they saw. There is no evidence that they even ever ate at the food court.

Yes, it is disgusting, and as a well known germaphobe, I'm pretty appalled. But having their room comped for the entire stay is completely ridiculous.

If they found out that they were sleeping underneath a nest of dead rats in their room, I would totally understand. If they were attacked by a swarm of bees in a hive hanging in their closet, free room!! If they found out that their toilet was the secret gateway to Hell, and it sucked down their first born - by all means - hire an exorcist and comp their room.

But someone strolls by a food court and sees reprehensible behavior and apparently complains loud enough to get the news involved - and their room is totally comped? Not cool. This is what causes rates to go up for the rest of us, and this is what causes everyone to complain about every single little thing - because THEY WANT FREE THINGS!

Years ago after a bad night rain there was a deceased frog on the walk outside my room the next morning. I kicked it into the bushes and didn't give it a second thought.....hey, wait a minute.....I want my vacation money back and a new pair of shoes!

I'll be in the World next week, seeing this traumatized me. I want my DVC points returned to me.

Reading that you're traumatized has traumatized me.
I want my May trip to WDW to be free and have the Deluxe Dining Plan thrown in.
It's the least Disney can do for putting me through this ordeal.

 

[DManRightHere]

Frankly if I saw this at night closing I wouldn't be freaked out. I don't eat my food directly from the table, and the table is probably cleaner than it was before depending on what is in that "mop water".

 

[Rogue21]

. . . what is in that "mop water".

Guaranteed to kill all germs.

Don't forget the unlimited fastpass!!!! Any ride, any time, any park... for the whole duration of your trip!

I'm offended AND traumatized. Couple this thread with ones about the airlines... OMG... I need free flights for life, my stay comped and booked in the Cinderella Suite, my own personal escort service so I don't have to ride Disney transportation, the Deluxe Dining Plan, a $2000 Disney Gift card, an unlimited anytime Fastpass and a back stage tour of the Haunted Mansion.

Yeah.... That should do it.

Appalled... Totally....

You forgot to add "UNMAGICAL!"

I thought I spelled out pretty clearly what I was stunned about. Go read it again.

All I read was some form of obsessive indignation.

You don't know what she's doing, I attempted to explain what she probably was doing, you dismissed that, and in keeping with your ignorance, you then got offended due to something it (in the video posted) appears was shut down right at the end by a manager.

This whole thing is a non-issue.

But, if you want to make it an issue, sanitizing isn't cleaning. And you are the fool if you think it is. You are furthermore a fool if you think your local restaurants are any "cleaner".

This video is bullpoop, made up by those who are oblivious to what food service really looks like. So, yeah, I'm sorry, it's a non-issue, even though you made it "clear".

Then you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills, because if the SAT question was, "What was the main idea in that paragraph?" and you gave that answer, you would get that one wrong. Try again.

On our recent trip to WDW in January, my sister in law had a hot cup of cappuccino accidentally dumped in her lap by the server. They ended up comping the meal for her table. She should have definitely held out for more.

I was waiting for you to chime in...you never disappoint pal lol...

I've seen guests change their kids shtty diapers on those tables. This video is the least of my worries.
