The Jungle Cruise boats don't run on gasoline. They run on natural gas. Others, please chime in if the other vehicles they mentioned run on fuel other than gas.
Floating ghosts on Indiana Jones? Do they mean the ones floating in Haunted Mansion in the graveyard?
Being cleaning is a big topic in the article, I deviate a bit to ask if anyone has noticed how gross some of the tram seats appear?! Whether they are or not, some at AK & DHS looked awful. I was shocked that Disney king of 1st impressions lets them run that way. Anyone else think its time for autonomous trams that are quicker and faster loading?
Just to let you know most commercials aren't shot at night. There's a few that do happen but most of them happen before the parks open or when the parks are open and there are plenty of times that there are "roadblocks" for guests to get around or have to deal with. It's inconvenient but it happens way more than late night shoots

The seven dwarves ride is a major disappointment.

Type this with your feet or something?
Haha
Don't be a jerk, you jerk.
I was thinking the samething....there is no way this person typed this while awake. She didn't get her point across because she made no sense so she was better off not talking at all!
And yes I'll be a jerk!
How about you type your comment when you have time to make it so people actually understand wth you're saying?!
I feel like you're trying to say something to me but I just can't make out what it is!!!

I, at age 55, remember going to universal or staying at a Hotel ON UNIVERSAL PROPERTY, ON THE 6-9 OF JUNE AT THE PORTOFINO. It was the worst stay ever. As a Disney lover and I'll never go to Universal again especially their hotel.. Disney's Beach and Yacht club resorts are my favorites. I loved the concierge floor! I think the rise in ticket price was long over do. Congratulations to Disney on a job well done and keeping everthing so clean and in good repair.
Good job Justin! You have a true Disney heart!
I have to disagree with part of the refueling section. This may pertain to Disneyland but in Magic Kingdom, the Tomorrowland Speedway (FL's equivalent to Autopia) is refueled by the opening cast members for the attraction. I used to work Tomorrowland attractions and have fueled many of the cars. They fuel them, and bring them onto the track before the park opens. Maintenance, however, is completed overnight.
Never touched a gas can at Disneyland. Did plenty of laps from the sides of the cars though! I thought that was just about the coolest thing that I never knew prior to starting there.
I had heard that everything at Disney is re painted every couple of weeks (or something like that). So there must be a lot of painting that's going on at night, also.
Every couple of weeks, not so much. Most surfaces that require paint are done during their scheduled annual "refurbishment," unless there was an event in which substantial damage was caused. Then they'd have the night crew come in and repair the damage. If it will take more than a day to fix, they will usually put a barrier wall around whatever the eyesore is so the guests won't see it during operating hours.
I don't know what level of pay would be sufficient to watch the Tiki birds more than once a.... month! Haha
"guests spitting at the guests"...interesting...Those guests must be pretty mean to spit on each other on the Indiana Jones ride! Haha
Gotta love typos...
It says 'guests spitting at the ghosts.' Although you would think the people would know better than to do this and ruin things for others. Thank goodness Disney is so meticulous in their cleaning.
Actually, they aren't doing it to be mean, or gross or anything. It's cultural. Many cultures spit to ward off evil spirits. The chair at the Haunted Mansion has to be cleaned frequently too, for this reason!
it is NOT the "culture" in America to spit all over the place, in public, where others are. People who are visiting Disney parks in this country as well as people who have moved to the US should attempt to learn and respect our culture.
Well said!!
While I agree with you completely, Anna, I have to say that the converse is just as important: Americans need to learn how to behave when travelling in foreign countries. Sadly, the vast majority of them do not.
Oh relax. How can you reasonably expect a visitor to our country to understand every little complexity of our traditions and mores? I suspect that your main issue is that you simply don't like foreigners...
They don't dive to work on World of Color's fountains, they lower the water level and walk out to work on them. We witnessed this first hand last week.
Thanks - fixed.
The world of color platforms actually raise up and down, so I would think that's what they did and not lower the water level. That would be an immense amount of water to store in a tank. Also, if they were to drain it and it would take days to drain and days to refill. That would also be VERY expensive.
