Key West could use a few of those Disney World “utilidors”
Disney World's Key West is not Key West. Though I understand how first-time visitors might find that confusing. Especially if they've tripped across the Disney World promotion videos for its Old Key West Resort. I mean Disney's Old Key West looks like, well, Key...

Are visitors welcome in Key West? We might need to tweak the message

We don’t have those cool “utilidors” that run underneath the Magic Kingdom so visitors don’t have to see the nasty stuff like trash hauling or cast members swearing because they’re late for work.
