Some one talking along with the ghost host or a flash going off ruin my trip like it does others. so I guess the next time I'm waiting in line and some one farts I should run back and get on here to harp about it? That the smells "Just ruined the experience." If this is all you have to complain about in life your pretty lucky
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "when it's brought up over and over it's harping." The topic is called Reciting a Spiel. Makes me wonder why you bothered participating in the first place if you knew what the topic was and you find the subject irritating. What's even more peculiar is that you keep coming back. smh "when I go I'm so happy just to be at DL that I don't let some annoying little thing like. Some one talking along with the ghost host or a flash going off ruin my trip like it does others." Hmmm... either you're not the one paying for your trip or you're a local who goes so often that you're numb to it. Or maybe you're a guilty spieler. "If this is all you have to complain about in life your pretty lucky " It's a discussion board and people are here talking about their experiences, likes, and dislikes at the park. What's the problem?

Funny because right after i has said there were people on POTC talking the entire time you saod " did you ask the people if the ride was ruined" No one is saying that the whole Disneyland trip would be ruined for people reciting a speil, most agree that it is rude.

We can be polite and tolerant depending on the circumstances.Personally the new voiceovers irritate me. I don't think they are in enough different languages...

So, if I can just somehow stop people from annoyingly reciting the spiels on Disneyland rides, all will be well. I think about it constantly. I bring it up during Thanksgiving dinners and I even mention it during the public input sessions at city council meetings. If people only knew how essential this was to my personal fulfillment, they'd stop doing it.

I won't go crazy with forcing others to look at every "hidden Mickey" I find. And though I have memorized attraction spiels and can recite them loudly and proudly upon request, in the interest of that key Disney concept of "good show", I shall not do so at any time that it might intrude on the enjoyment of an attraction by other guests. I will always refrain from texting and other electronic intrusions, as well as flash photography, all in the interest of doing my part to keep Disneyland a welcoming, magical destination. And I'll always watch my children and remain seated and keep my hands, arms and legs inside any moving ride at all times.

Do you really not care that you're making that part of the ride less enjoyable for many others? "If this is all you have to complain about in life your pretty lucky" You're grasping at straws here. Has anyone claimed that it ruined their trip? Does it have to actully ruin a trip for you to consider that maybe it's poor behavior? Is that y9our standard for consideration of others? "tell city hall to enforce a shut up rule." What makes you think I haven't? Of course, you haven't presented and actual argument defending you behavior, have you? "you use the words 'ME' and 'I' a lot so it's clearly all about you." Sure. *T'm* the one not reciting spiels and that makes me selfish. Is this really your argument? "Some one talking along with the ghost host or a flash going off ruin my trip like it does others." No one said it would ruin their trip. But if "ruining the trip" is what it takes to get you to stop your rude behavior, I'd say your standards are pretty crappy. Just ruining a tiny part of a trip for someone else would make me avoid a behavior. But as long as you're satisfied that making someone's trip crappy for a few minutes is OK, hey, be proud. You didn't ruin their WHOLE trip. Only a small piece of it. Lovely attitude.

I knew that Thurl wasn't correct, I just couldn't conjur up Paul Frees at the time.
