They have a special rig that rides the beams and cleans them, they do it every couple years

Evoking “modern” hotels located somewhere else was never the point of the theming in Disney World resorts. Just as in the parks, the point is to create something realer-then-real, the distilled and exaggerated essence of an imaginary wilderness lodge or gilded-age Floridian hotel or the like. If people want something that looks like a present-day Hawaii hotel, they can go to Hawaii. The Polynesian should be the tiki aesthetic taken to an extreme, not a subdued beige void.

why cant they attach some kind of cleaning component to the monorails so the beams dont get dirty to begin with? There's got to be some kind of scrub brush/cloth cleaning system that "wipes" down the beam on the monorail

More proof that comedy isn’t easy. 😉

The massing of these recent hotels remains horrendous. They emphasize the elevators and stairs. Hulking masses of nothingness. Even in the most functionalist theories there’s still some sense of hierarchy in composition. The parti (organizing concept) of a hotel shouldn’t be fire stairs.

I agree. I clean my beans everyday when I shower.

deploy the wheelchair ramps as well, equip guests with mini parachutes, and they can market a whole 'nother level of theme park attraction..

Ahh, I thought you were talking about having the beam so close to the hotel which made no sense. It’s like some of the people on this thread who have been complaining about the Polynesian pool lights when that’s what they use at many Disney pools and have been using them for countless number of years. It’s just funny that they have never complained about them. Ever. And yes, I agree that the beans should be cleaned as they need it very badly.

LOL, in a previous post I was called a Disney Hater, now I am a Fanboy, LOL, LOL The reality is I am a Disney consumer. Too much of a consumer. LOL, like I said, excuses, excuses. JK - this is all in fun. We all must remember, Disney will do what Disney will do no matter what the haters or the fanboys say. If the hater or fanboy agrees with Disney latest move, whatever it is, its pure coincidence.
