Oh, getting near the end of the Roaring 20’s. And things couldn't be any better than they are today. Yes sir, moving pictures flicker up on a big screen and we got a new picture out called “Steamboat Willie”… staring a peculiar looking MOUSE if you can believe it… name of Mickey. (He chuckles to himself.) It'll never work.>>

Originally Posted By RCG09 I thought it was very rude that people were leaving during the middle of the show, until I found myself thinking "If I were in there I would leave too, because I am so damn sick of listening to this guys obnoxious voice!!!" I tend to agree with Kennesaw Tom, you can't force people to stay in the theater, even if it is rude to leave during a performance.

They could let them go in and then have the waiting crowd enter. That would have stopped the nonsense and the show could have gone on with no problems.

Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Yeah, the CM got loud and obnoxious, and I would want to leave. But since he was saying that it was for safety and that the ride would not continue until everyone was seated, I would plant my butt in my seat. Even if I was at WDW and might miss something else by doing so. I think the people still leaving are being rude, even if I understand why they would want to leave. And I bet almost all of them spoke English.
Originally Posted By danyoung So how long would you remain seated, with the ride not moving, and a guy yelling over a bad PA system? Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen? It's obvious in the video that the people who are leaving the theater have already been through at least 2 rounds of the opening theater show, and have been subjected to loud verbal abuse repeatedly. How long would you stay still and allow that to go on? Overall I'm all for doing what the Disney CMs tell me to do. After all, it's their job to keep me safe. But they're not always right, and sometimes we have to fall back on our own judgement.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Well, does anyone know how long it went on before something changed? Did people eventually all sit, or all leave? Did a CM come into the room at some point? Yes, at some point I would leave. I guess I don't know how long it would take me because it would depend on the day and the time and his volume in the theater, etc.
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost It strikes me that until they got up and started to leave the theater, they were only overhearing someone being "verbally abused" if that is possible to do when asking for someone to do the safe, courteous thing. Then when they started to react they only made the problem worse. Sorry, but whatever they got they deserved. In fact, not nearly enough. In the words of Ron White..."you can't fix stupid"!
