OMG.... hysterical I know I should never share this, and I never do it at Disneyland, but when the situation can not be worsened by anything I do, I start talking to the loud talker as if they were talking to me. I just jump right in, like, "Oh, I know what you mean I hate it when that happens, now my sister, she had the same thing last year and......" It shuts them up. The funny thing, most the time people around them get what I am doing and laugh or join in. Sometimes it backfires and they follow me around. It's funny, they want attention, but not that much ;-) I'm thinking I should start wearing those seasonal sweatshirts so I look the part.

I'm not saying you can't scream during a ride but they were being VERY loud.

We always seem to notice something that we've never noticed before or marvel in the work of something that been newly refurbished. For the past year or so, DL is our get away from overwhelming, crippling stress and to be able to be able to sit quietly, relax and to enjoy such a wonderful place and ride, is truly a blessing and a privilege.

It's certainly happened to me.

Originally Posted By doombuggy "And in rides like HM, where the darkness is part of the point," When it's HMH they might as well let people take flash pics the way it's lit up all the way thru. Thats one of the reasons I don't like HMH, far too bright and can see stuff we shouldn't be seeing.
Originally Posted By crapshoot <<They ask you not to do it at the top of all such rides, and it's just rude when people do.>> I witnessed the exit CM single out the guests of a particular Doombuggy and firmly tell them not to take flash pics again. Several of us stepping on to the belt applauded her.
Originally Posted By danyoung It's only rude when the instructions can be understood. If you look at the offenders, a lot of the time they're Asian folks who just don't understand English. But that's only some of the time. Those bozos who think the rules are for everybody but them are the real troublemakers.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Phandom Manor at DL Paris has some of the best CMs I've ever seen. On each of my several rides, it began with the CM making an announcement in the stretching room that there were to be no photos (of any kind) inside the mansion. They did this while walking in a full circle around the room, forcing people into the center of the room. This not only got peoples attention and alerted them to the rules, it also got them to shut up while the room was stretching. DL could really use something like that. Plus, being in Europe, they made the announcement in several languages as they walked around. One CM did it 3 different ways, and saw a group who appeared left out and asked what language they spoke, and she provided the speil in a fourth lanugage. There was no reason for anyone to be unclear on the procedures. While DLP gets a lot of flack for poor maintenance and unenthuastic CMs, that was really a highlight of my trip. Now, if only we could implement those same policies in the US (or at least at DL where people seem to be particularly obnoxious in the stretching gallery)...

I agree HMH is too bright in a lot of places, but some areas still are dark, and even in the brighter areas, flash just makes a bad thing worse.
