Felt the need to take a picture while we were standing in line for Buzz Lightyear in standby. The garbage can was past full and there was trash all over the waiting line area. Told a CM about it and 20 minutes later no one had done anything to clean it. This was the first week of May and was not a busy time.
When did this bad show start being ok at Disney?

Couldn't agree with you more. That's just sick, and sad. And, if TWDC wants to blame it on lack of staffing, they have money pouring out
This is why we're not interested to go back to wdw anymore...overpriced, same diminished crap year after year, rude overcrowding drinkin morons, and everyone's trip reports just show them riding BTMR like 55 times in a row, and eating more chicken nuggets... :cyclops:
I have a Disney book (among others) called "Desgning Disney" by John Hench (a Disney Imagineer Legend).
He told about a time when Walt and himself were walking near an outdoor dining area near MSUSA in Disneyland and a young CM was scraping food from plate to plate in plain view of other guests. John Hench said that Walt walked up to him and very politely told him that all that would best be done in the kitchen, and not in front of the Guests.
What a concept...!!!!! :joyfull:

Park Services (Custodians) are not responsible for queue trash. It's the individual attraction who are responsible. There is a good chance that the CM you talked to didn't have a radio or way to communicate it up the chain of command unless they saw a higher up. It's seen as insubordination to leave your post and you can and will get written up for it. Secondly, CMs have to deal with 20,000 different things at once and it's quite easy to forget about something like that if we have to deal with guest situations, especially missing children. So, yes stuff like this happens, but it's not the end of the world.

This stuff turns me off in a major way. I just wonder if the only ones really bothered by this are those of us who remember not too long ago when you could practically eat off the ground in the MK. There's no denying that budget cuts have added to these problems, but I do not see that changing anytime soon. They are still going to sell tickets and people are still going to fill the hotels. What's their motivation to change? Full disclosure: I'm still going next week, and I will continue to go. Does that make me part of the problem? One or two of us quietly protesting will save us some money, but it will not affect their bottom line.

An isolated trash can with overflowing trash does not represent the state of TWDC or WDW.

Nor should the same trash can insight this sort of reaction. I’d be willing to bet just about anything that a trash can overflowed at least once during the not-so-distant past with concrete cleaner than your kitchen table.

In a properly run operation it wouldn't happen period. Ignoring it will do nothing, but making it into a big stink might result in action being taken. A bit like any number of consumer complaints that go no where until a local news program runs a story on the shady business and then instantly action is taken by the shady business to address the problem. The only problem is that the OP needed to spread the word of dirty Disney in a better method than here on this forum where you have so many Disney fans that will just make excuses instead of try to shame Disney into taking better care of the parks.

Because, like everyone else here that does, I can. It's called free speech. I still love Disney, but, not the way the company is being run these days. I grew up on Disney, and I know the difference. I have every right to criticize what I see as diminished value. I'm more than disappointed (as are MANY others here) in a company I once revered. If you don't like my criticisms, feel free to put me on ignore.
BTW...
The VAST majority of my posts are in the Chit Chat thread, and, generally, have nothing to do with Disney, at all.

Depends. Do you still feel like you're getting your money's worth at DW? People here can argue back and forth all day on whether the quality of DW vacations have gone downhill these past few years, but even if they're not as good as they used to be as long as you think the value for your is good keep going. If not, reassess what you spend your money on there and make changes or stop going altogether. Yes you're just one person and you not going probably won't convince DW to change policies. But you will save money that you can use on something else that you feel is worth it instead of throwing it at a company that doesn't leave you satisfied.

The state of this attractions queue is well known. It would come as no surprise it needs additional monitoring. For whatever reason.

I think its a mix of a couple things. The lighting, the noise, and the overall design of the room lead to a feeling of "cheap" and so I think people just don't respect it. It's probably one of the less "inviting" queues in the parks design wise.

Again, I don’t think an isolated trash can overflowing is on the same level as shady business deserving of a news story. I don’t think we’re making excuses, we’re being realistic. Things like this will happen from time to time in any setting.

To let it get like this is one thing.

To not do anything about it - when a) it’s likely to happen and b) being told about it - is poor.
