    I think it's super clean for the most part. We live about ten minutes away from a Six Flags and boy are they worlds apart! Only once can I recall seeing a garbage can overflowing at WDW. Sadly I see a garbage can overflowing at Six Flags just about every visit (among other things like gum, peeling paint, etc).

    Cool

    I'd say it's definitely cleaner than the competition, but, not as clean has it could be, and as it has been in the past.

    I would agree that WDW is as clean as any tourist attraction you will find. Granted at any time you might find a spot that needs attention but our experience has been that those are few and far between.

    While Disney is still clean it is not as clean as it use to be in the past before some of the budget cuts a while back during the Eisner Era. While still clean it's just as pristine as it use to be. It is much easy to find the flaws now than it was in the past and they are becoming easier to spot every year.

    I sure think so! The facts that they remove all of their trash from underground accesses so that people won't have to see trash when they're walking around and that they don't sell gum on-site so it won't get dropped on the ground and make marks sure tells me they pay attention to detail!

    Their one of the most cleanest parks ever. That's what Walt Disney belived in. Whenever DH and I go to a non-disney amusement park we ALWAYS complain about how dirty the park is.

    One time DH, my cousin Bobby (who's a huge Disney fan like myself), and myself were at Six Flags in Southern California. And besides having to wait in long lines (they don't have FP), but the park as disgusting. In fact, at one point, one section of the park smelled like fresh vomit!!!! Plus, that day was warm as well, so you know how great that place was. And on top if it, their restrooms and restraunts were disgusting. Piles of trash everywhere (and the restraunt was DEAD!!!) And there was a six feet long puddle of water that no one who worked there did about. And throughout the day all we continued to say was how dirty the park was and how Walt would have never let a park get this bad! No wonder why Six Flags are going bankrucpt.

    I personally think, compared to their competition, WDW is very clean. That said, is there room for improvement? You bet.

    i agree with this one. last visit WDW was not as tidy as my 95 trip. the 95 trip the grounds were immaculate, with not even a spec of dirt to be found. last trip it was pretty clean, but there was plenty of trash, food, and wrappers to be found. still cleaner than any other theme parks, though.

    You know, I have been hearing people say this for a long time and frankly I just haven't noticed it to be any worse than it ever was. I wonder if this might be because we have all heard the talk about how clean WDW is for so long that now we have unrealistic expectations.

    Of course, I will also admit that we VERY RARELY go during the peak seasons. Obviously it is easier to make things look good when the pressure is not as strong. Plus, we are there when a great deal of the maintainance is going on so things are always freshly painted and such when we are there.

    I agree it is not as immaculate as it has been in the past, it is still head and shoulders above any other park in the world. Everything is always clean and neat, even if it is not perfect. I feel like there is more pride in taking care of the place...and maybe more pressure to do so as well, due to reputation. Hopefully it always remains this way.

    I live near both Idlewild and Kennywood here and I must say that Disney is a total 180 from both of these parks!! We frequent Idlewild more often (it gets us out of the house and DS likes their water slides), but it is just a glorified carnival if you ask me.

    Disney is like going to heaven when we go!

    For the most part, I find it amazingly clean, especially when you consider the vast numbers of people who trek through on a daily basis.

    I vote for clean. Just figure out how many people visit Disney World each day. We have never experienced a problem not even with the bathrooms.

    As many others have said, it's definitely MUCH cleaner than the competition, but could always use some improvement. Personally, I can't recall having ever seen a trashcan overflowing or excessive amount of trash anywhere on-property. Usually, when I've seen a "dirty" part, it was quite minor.

    It's pretty clean, as far as amusement park go. I've NEVER had a problem at WDW.

    I have had issues at Disneyland in the early-mid 90's. I don't think I'll ever forget the mental picture of green slime covering the beautiful white marble statues of Snow White and Co. One of my girlfriends who is a DLR AP holder says that it's gotten much better since I was last there.

    Everbody , .... go check out your local roadways , shopping centers , parks , neighborhoods ,towns , amusement parks , and any other spot you can think of. Then go to WDW and compare.
    For a place that handles over 40 million turns per year, with some of the messiest slobs on the planet among them , yah , it's pretty darn clean.
