And she thinks it is hilarious.

I think Disney will be over turning this real fast when all the complaints come pouring in about how their photo was ruined. hmmm would be funny if this was a trick by Disney hoping more will do it and now they get arrested for indecent exposer. would be very easy to hold the ride till the cops showed up.

Originally Posted By SFH I don't think they made an announcement, did they? Sounds to me like an hourly or someone else involved in the situation leaked the info to bloggers, and then tabloid and MSM picked it up, no doubt asking Disney to comment.
Originally Posted By Bellella Well, either way, people know about it, and now all heck's about to break loose. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to take out all the security cameras on the rides and let just about anything happen....

Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 No, don't get rid of the security cameras! I love it when I'm surrounded by jerks taking flash pictures in Pirates and they come over the sound system and tell them to stop. The looks of sheepish embarrassment on their faces is wonderful!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros For what it's worth, when I was there Friday morning, they had someone stationed in the photo viewing area at the exit of the ride. She didn't say or do anything, but she stood in the back corner looking a little grumpy, and did a great job of scaring people away from their pictures. I didn't see any naughty ones, but there definately wasn't as much lingering around the phots are there usually is. I know that she didn't do any screening, since she was just standing there, and the vast majority of guests had no idea she was there before they went on it (unless they rode single riders or were visiting with someone who needed special assistance), but it did a great job of keeping people a little more serious, and I'm pretty sure it was a direct response to the announcement that they were removing the screening postion. I just have to wonder if it saves any significant ammount of money to have one of the store CM's stand there (she was wearing the store outfit, not the Splash one) instead of a ride CM scanning the pictures before they pop up. It just doesn't seem like it would make a difference to me. And here's a picture in case anybody's interested (my friend didn't realize until later that I was taking the picture to get the grumpy lady, not him, so it's a kind of funny picture to demonstrate the point here): <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=41984895&l=cde96aa8ab&id=3432828" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/photo....=3432828</a>
