Originally Posted By SpokkerJones I don't go to Disneyland much anymore, but when I do I treat the attractions as if they are interactive films. Okay, you scream on the roller coasters or during drops and you might laugh if something funny happens. But what I don't get is why "silence is golden" is not the rule. It is especially frustrating during low-volume scenes, such as the initial trek through the lagoon on Pirates. This part is supposed to set the mood, but you often hear, "Oh my God, my boss wants me to work tomorrow. He's such a jerk!" You wouldn't talk during a movie, and no talking should be the rule on Disneyland attractions.
Originally Posted By SpokkerJones I don't mean "rule" as in, if you talk to get kicked out. Not even sure how you would enforce that. I just mean, if Disneyland is such a "magical" place, why would people not stop talking about their mundane everyday problems for 5 minutes until the ride is over? TP2000 explains it perfectly.
Originally Posted By tashajilek I have experienced exactly this on Pirates. It was two teenage girls that wouldnt shut up about their personal life. In front of me was this poor family that was quiet and looked to be first timers looking and enjoying everything. I think people who do this kind of thing should be kicked out, so rude. I will admit going on the HM at WDW and hearing silence during the elevator scene was a nice treat.

A certain nasty old biddy I know likes to gripe about every guest she sees. She can find fault with anybody and anything! And she doesn't bother to lower her voice, either, so most people know she's talking about them. It's a wonder she hasn't been punched out by now. Then, again, she's so smelly and dirty most people wouldn't want to touch her!
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I have experienced rude people like this at Disneyland and I also hate that sometimes they are teaching their children that their behavior (which negatively affects others) is perfectly all right.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin You have all the time in lines and walking around and waiting for parades/shows and dining time. Shush for the few minutes you're experiencing an attraction!
Originally Posted By danyoung I at least make an attempt to shhuusshh them. I do it nicely, hoping they'll take the hint (which they usually do). But if they insist on continuing their yapping, there's not much you can do without a full scale confrontation, which is worse than the original problem.
Originally Posted By tashajilek "Shush for the few minutes you're experiencing an attraction!" Or if the attraction isnt special enough for you to keep your trap shut then maybe dont ride. I guess there are really people put there that dont notice they are being rude.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip That is the one way where WDW is more enjoyable. Not as many people have been on the attraction dozens of times before, so they tend to be somewhat more respectful. I've never heard people chanting the spiel in the Stretch Room at the HM... that would REALLY irritate me!

Unfortunatey we were in the back row ad theftont three were loaded with teenagers who were not interested in the ride but that 'Amber hooked up with Courtneys boyfriend' etc. It killed it for us. When we were unloading I told the CM and we were put straight back on the ride, which I really appreciated. Those kids had no idea what being at Disneyland that day meant for us, the thousands of dollars it took to get there, the long flights and lines at customs, that it fulfilled a childhood dream for my friend. For them us was just Saturday afternoon and high school gossip was more important than the wenches for sale!
