You may have hopped on the Disney World monorail, Spaceship Earth, or Peter Pan’s Flight dozens of times — but on how many of those occasions have you sat back and thought “Hmm. I wonder how and when this ride was last inspected?”
Perhaps you’ve thought about it once or twice, or maybe it’s never even crossed your mind. You’re at Disney World, where the false sense of security is STRONG (until you hit a technical issue that requires an evacuation, maybe). Even if you’ve never considered just how the Mouse uses his mouseketools to ensure the attractions you love are in tip-top shape, it seems others have — namely, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature. Over the past few weeks, some major talk has come up about changing how Disney World’s rides are inspected and how the monorail is evaluated for its safety. Now, we’re taking a look at some of the unique things this discussion has revealed and just how things could be changing soon.
