    Forgive me, but I have no clue what this is. Or maybe I know it by a different name?

    Does anyone know? Thanks!

    Now Pixie Glitter, of all the LPer's you should be the one to know that they had to remove the preview screen because sometimes something indecent 'accidently' happened during the photograph and was then flashed to all in the boat when they went by the AA owl. This happened more and more until Disney decided that they had to have someone immediately previewing (and if need be censoring) each picture or shut that screen off. The pictures are still previewed for decency before they go up opn the wall at the shop, but it's more managable to have the extra couple of minutes.

The photo area has plenty of time to block the image it pops up right after its taken and they just click block. It takes about 2 1/2 minutes before you get to the preview area.
