Talk about the cadaverous pallors that would result when a bunch of lunatics break out in totally unrelated song! Kinda makes me smile.

Originally Posted By DismayingObservation I love it! Could it be that I have actually created the next new Disneyland tradition? Why stop at the Time Warp? Let's throw rice at the bride and spray water on the painting of the schooner in the gallery! The possibilities are limitless!

Now stop giggling at your own ellipses!

Originally Posted By DismayingObservation This gives an entirely new meaning to having created a monster! Too funny! Unfortunately, I look terrible in fishnet stockings...guess I'm buying my own churro.
Originally Posted By dresswhites i must say, i guess i never really noticed or been bothered by people reciting the speil. Maybe it has become so commonplace that it seems almost normal now. it doesn't bother me. I am more bothered by people who break rules. People standing on trash cans, kids playing on rocks they are not supposed to. The other thing that really seems to becoming a problem is people who are waiting in line and have others come along join them, pushing aside everyone else. I don't mind the occasional small child joining the line later on, but when 5 or 6 members are joining the ine halfway through. that is obnoxious and should not be allowed.

Originally Posted By LaurieMC I first visited Dland in 2003.

I agree with the comment about the lack of knowledge of theatre etiquette. It's just beyond me that someone would actually think that this is an "okay" thing to do. Regardless of how many times someone may or may not have been to the HM, some people just don't want to hear *you* reciting the spiel. But, I know, common courtesy has never been all that common...

When we got to the far side of Leota someone just coming in took a flash picture, and I couldn't see for most of the rest of the ride. Considering the number of doombuggies going around Leota at once, that one rider probably blinded at least a dozen people. Not nice! We noticed some changes, but very small ones, and they may have been returns of old things. It seemed the knight moved a bit more, the sound was louder and more clear (I'm hard of hearing so it was a big help), floating Leota, the bride's heartbeat was a lot louder than before, and things seemed a little brighter (they'd probably just been dusted). The hitchhiking ghosts' timing was "off" the first day (several rides) , but seemed to be corrected the next day. I wonder if the sound adjustments were made to block the sound of people's chanting. Guest's cell phone conversations were not audible on the ride this time, that was a HUGE improvement. It's pretty weird when the best improvement is that you can't hear people's cell chats on the ride anymore.
