Trash Strewn Magic Kingdom Due To Lack of Workers?

[Kennywood]

There's a very short video clip currently circulating claiming to show overflowing trash cans and plastic bottles in various lakes, reportedly due to a severe work force shortage at Disney Parks. Is anyone currently experiencing this?

During the height of COVID, Disney, like many other businesses, let go a large number of their work force. As there is currently a national work force shortage, it appears that Disney is struggling to replenish their depleted work force.

I didn't see that when we were there 3rd week of July. But there was more trash on the floor, that could be either to people just throwing things wherever or less people picking up the trash. What was very noticeable a was the long waits at all the food kiosks, and the lines moving very slowly since most had only one person working in them - so that person had to give the food and do the payment.

I hope that for the free items, it won't be too bad

starting a thread on the same topic as a thread that has been locked is not allowed here on disboards. I’m guessing you didn’t mean any harm and didn’t see the lock thread.

Is it? It happens more than once that people give it a second try to stay on topic, I think. The fastpass one got locked before, the general news one got locked.

We've been here a week and haven't seen any excess trash anywhere.

yes restarting a closed thread is 30 points it expires in 30 days. Don’t know what happens when it’s a honest mistake and the op maybe didn’t know. Probably just closed this one out also maybe with no points giving to op. I have no idea.

This is how we felt when we were there last weekend. We went to Epcot and DHS and both were very clean

Its all going to be seen through a lens. Obviously its clean some days and others its not... the difference being that in the past those other days were a rarity.
