This sign has been like this for ages.

It's truly disheartening to see how TWDC continues to treat its parks and its parks' guests. Just jack up prices as much as possible, making billions of dollars but they can't even make an effort to fix something simple like this. When they have had plenty of time to do so. Pathetic.

Why are you getting your knickers in a twist because a vlogger - who used to work at WDW, and who is a Disney fan - points out egregious upkeep problems and a piece of crappy overpriced merchandise at WDW? Should those issues not be pointed out at all? Or should park guests who pay thousands of dollars a visit overlook things like that and say, "Oh well, half of the doorway of Keystone Clothiers fell off, taking a light fixture with it, and oh look, a huge fountain broke in half, la de da, who cares, let's go get a Mickey bar"?

Knickers? No it’s the opposite, one thing to point out issues another to try to make oneself a miniature celebrity out of complaining to the lowest denominator by it.

because most stuff on social media is very much "opinion". YOU feel it is overpriced and crappy and that's cool but to a kid who gets to build it, it might be the next best thing to slice bread. One of the reasons why I refuse to listen to any of them and pretty much laugh at the term "influencer". and yes guest who go and pay that money get to decide what is important to them and what is not. Now I have not seen this broken sign but definitely agree that broken things should be fixed.
So my question to you, would you also be on the side of the vloggers who actual report good stuff about Disney world? NO you would not.

We need more vloggers like Kevin who will call Disney on their BS. I'm tired of seeing all these Disney adults pretend that TWDC isn't actively trying to ruin guest experience all the while jacking prices up to a predatory extent.

really? See I don't get this, you are actually mad that there are people out there who are enjoying their Disney vacations. SMH. Disney is actively trying to ruin my upcoming vacation? Some one goes on vacation, vloggs that they had a good time and it's all a "pretense"??
I don't watch vloggers so I can say if most of them are positive or not but this site is the number one site for folks to complain about Disney

These two photos of rotten boards right outside the men's restroom next to City Hall in the MK were taken exactly one year apart. I wonder if it has been repaired yet. Somebody take a look.

Again, I'm not mad someone is enjoyong their vacation lmao. For one, vloggers aren't on vacation. They're APs that spend loads of time at the parks. Two, I hope everyone enjoys their vacation but that doesn't mean I hope TWDC gets off scott free and without criticism when vloggers come to their parks. Criticism....that's a good thing. And yes I believe TWDC is trying to ruin your upcoming vacation. Not like, "I'll ruin your vacation! *evil laughter*" but they are conducting business in a way that is decreasing guest enjoyment and they simply don't think that is a bad thing or something that needs to be stopped.

You are destined to have a bad time whenever you go to the resort with this attitude.

When one operates a building, campus much less a 45 square mile resort there is bound to be deficiencies. Some our handled by general maintenance and some areas are scheduled for a complete renovation/repair. The choice to repair the item may then wait for the complete renovation, sorry this is how it happens in the real world. Yes even one sign, the manager of the area might think it’s ridiculous too but if that sign is coming down soon anyway his boss might be saying it’s going to wait.

Having some “kid” walking around with a camera complaining about random items is not helpful for the demographic that pays attention to it. It only enrages the viewer and profits the blog provider. This is what I meant earlier about the common denominator. He is pandering to his masses and doesn’t have a clue or care beyond his dreams of being a celebrity. It fills his narrative and even if everything was near flawless the people who buy into these superficial claims will see the one damaged item and allow it to ruin their experience.

Young ones and just angry ones, brace yourself for a second, most of society always thought Disney was expensive and not worth it. Choose to go or not but don’t go looking for problems it only ruins your time. You are not the gatekeeper. If something really is spoiling your time speak to a cast member, believe it or not if it is a real problem they will remedy your experience. This sign might get you some fast passes :)

Incorrect. I went a month ago and had a nice time, my friend. I can be critical of something while at the same time enjoying it.

I am glad to hear, some earlier posts seem to suggest a bit jilted. That’s really good because vacation should be fun regardless how cheap or expensive one views their trip.
