Slinky Dog Dash Queue Cleaned After Mold Reports, With Sources Calling Buildup Dirt

Maintenance crews addressed the issue overnight following photo-driven reports of dirty, deteriorating queue surfaces within children’s reach.

Overview

  • WDW News Today reported on February 17 that the Lightning Lane queue near the Slinky Dog Dash boarding area was cleaned and some cracked, peeling paint was repaired overnight.
  • The outlet said brown spots on large Slinky Dog graphics were initially speculated to be mold or mildew but sources assured them the buildup was dirt.
  • A day earlier, multiple sites highlighted black patches on a blue Slinky Dog mural in the outdoor queue and noted the contamination sat low on the wall where children could touch it.
  • Recent maintenance also removed a black mold line from a partially submerged “it’s a small world” gondola at Magic Kingdom over the weekend.
  • Walt Disney World Resort has not issued a public statement addressing the recent reports across its parks.
