"Show" keeps getting worse

What exactly are you pointing out? I see nothing in those pics that means anything.
Yeah that's why I rephrased my original post.

Um, no. They should not look like that.

Paint fading quickly is a continual problem with all of the Florida parks and in Florida in general because of the brutal sun. I wish they would stay on top of it more, but in general they do a decent job I think.

They do replace them from time to time. They swapped out Test Tracks not too long ago after they faded.

Studios recently got new signs at the main autoplaza and in the fantasmic/beauty and the beast side of the park. All of the signs around the park fade relatively quickly, but sometimes it takes a while to get new ones installed. They don't necessarily have them just lying around, and because of their size, they take a little bit to get made.
Also to take into consideration is how little time Magic Kingdom is closed nightly. With the longest hours of any of the parks, day in and day out, stuff like this gets pushed to the side while ride maintenance and park cleaning, etc gets the priority. Most attractions are running a half hour to hour after park close and will start opening as early as two hours before so that leaves very little time for work like this to be done.

It was weird when all the Beauty and the Beast were missing for a day.

These are posters. Not running attractions. One former billboard installer can do this in a couple of hours, at most.
I definitely don't think it would be quick to have them printed and such, but I just found it interesting that they don't have at least one set of replacements laying around somewhere.

True but the chain of command that it takes to get stuff replaced is a lot. Most of the time Imagineering has to be notified, they have to say they need to be replaced and give the right materials to be replaced, then it has to make it back to Florida. Then Florida has to get the person to do it and find them a couple hours where they can install them. Magic Kingdom is littered with people 24/7. Yes its not as complicated as a task as repainting Big Thunder Mountain but it takes time and isn't a "The signs look like crap, replace them tonight"

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
They may not warrant there own thread, and I probably should've put it in general discussion but I have noticed that it is a trend. Faded paint isn't as noticeable as faded posters
