I wonder how long it took Disney to design the new trash cans sitting outside at the new Art of Animation Resort in Walt Disney World.
Seriously, this is all you could come up with? Way to tie into the “theme,” if by theme, they mean “hotel dedicated to franchises that sell a lot of toys masking as a tribute to animation.”

The recent rehab of Walt Disney World’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad brought some changes to the queue, including the shift of color on the trash cans.
While it’s subtle, the cans used to be a glossy brown color; now they have a dull, flat brown finish.

Despite being newer than Disneyland, it’s often hard to find detailed photographs of certain areas from Walt Disney World’s first year, having opened in October 1971.
Thanks to
FoxxFur’s latest article on Passport to Dreams Old & New, we now know what the trash cans looked like around Liberty Square, sourced from photos taken in November 1971.
Here you can see cream-colored cans with tan vertical stripes anchoring both sides of the bridge leading into the land. Very traditional look.

23 years ago today — on May 1, 1989 — the Disney-MGM Studios opened.
Boy, was that ever a badly-executed idea! Let me know when Disney figures out what they actually want to do with that hodgepodge of a park.
On the plus side, we did get some nice looking trash cans!

The Orange Bird perches on top of an Adventureland trash can while hanging out in the Sunshine Tree Terrace.
Welcome back, Orange Bird!
Just for fun, hop over to Widen Your World’s historical page on the Orange Bird… and take a look at how WDW’s Adventureland trash cans were so much more awesome than today. I mean, seriously, teal blue is considered “adventurous” these days?

We recently asked for suggestions for Earth Day-related trash cans via the Magical Trash Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook networks. Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, which included Conservation Station at Animal Kingdom and The Land at Epcot.
In celebration of Earth Day, we’re featuring this great recycling can found at the BoardWalk Villas, where Jiminy Cricket wants YOU to recycle!
