Though personal trips to Walt Disney World for me began in the mid 1990s, I have noticed a steep decline in monorail 'show quality' in this period of time. Though this argument may have been made, hear this one out.
As a frequent visitor of these parks, I have begun noticing slight declines in upkeep throughout each park. In regards to our monorails, their exteriors often seem quite unclean, however, their exteriors are no match for their interiors.
I understand, these monorails have been in service for quite some time, however, certain upkeep issues intrude into guest experiences. Many monorails have developed quite a terrible stench, due to heavy usage in combination with air conditioning condensation that develops mold (apparent near bottoms of compartment walls). However, little remedial work has taken place, as it seems it has been deemed too costly or time consuming.
Though each of these issues intrudes into guests positive experiences, it bothers me to a higher degree that guests pay exorbitant room rates to stay near certain resorts which have monorail service, sometimes unaware that this service no longer warrants such high rates as it is subpar in quality.
To wrap things up, these issues stem back to a corporate culture of cost-cutting, a culture choking out everything that made this vacation destination the "Most Magical Place on Earth".

Well, now that you've seen how I view this issue, I would be delighted if you would share your thoughts on this topic too.
