A couple years ago, I took my boyfriend to Disneyland and he hadn't been for close to 8 years. We were on HM and in the room with floating Leota, he turns to me, amazed with a huge grin and says "How do they do that??" Just then, a doombuggy a few behind us proceeds to take 4 or 5 blinding flash pictures, revealing the wires suspended from the ceiling. His face fell, and he muttered "Oh...." Did it ruin the whole trip? No. Did it break my heart to see that bit of magic ruined for my kid-at-heart bf? Yes.

In the 43 years I've been going I've been to CH 0 times to complain about some thing. Like I said I'm just happy to be there to were I don't let some annoying person ruin it for me and run to CH or get on the internet to complain about it. And they haven't added a shh rule have they? which brings me back to what I said way back, So because they don't say any thing you take it upon yourself to CM like you have ownership in the place simply because you have an AP or go there alot. What I'm getting at is If there is a cm near by ask them to shh don't take it upon yourself maybe if you guys did it that way with enough of you doing it they would add it to be quite. Now people who yak yak yak oh hell yes I tell them to shut up ONLY if a cm is not around, Believe me it's far more intimidating when a worker says it. Now before you all start bashing me I'll answer some question Hans asked so you'll have the right info to work with. "Hmmm... either you're not the one paying for your trip" Not sure what that has to do with it but no I save up for 2 years then go "or you're a local who goes so often that you're numb to it." As I said before I'm just glad to be back and enjoy it by not sweating the small stuff. I wish I lived close enough I could just grab my AP put it around my neck like a badge of honor, grab the keys and go. I use to live in the Antelope valley and went about once a year. now I live 1100ml away and get there about every 2 years. "Or maybe you're a guilty spieler" . I use to till I was about 14-15 and saw what other kid of fan boys were doing it too. And realized it made me look like a dork. All that was missing was the AP around the neck like a bus pass, buttons and pins, the far too small Micky shirt. And I realized no one thought I was cute and clever for knowing it. I'm a DL geek but not THAT much of one. lets see, some miss spellings and grammar, used ME and I alot just for you yookeroo FLAME ON!

So you admit that you let it be known when someone is distracting you from the enjoyment of the experience, yet you got all defensive when I said that did the same thing. You're a confusing person.

Originally Posted By SpokkerJones Another reason no one will tell you anything is because it's hard to tell how someone will react when they are asked to behave. A member of the military and his girlfriend were recently assaulted in a Florida movie theater after telling some people to be quiet during a movie. I'm not telling anybody anything.

Originally Posted By doombuggy mmk you guys are reading far too much in to what I said. people talking the whole time, like in a boat or a show about every day things and or on the phone is VERY rude and they should be shhed when no cm is around. Simply reciting a line or 2 from a ride is not having a yak yak yak...I guess I should have clarified yak yak yak meant a conversion. "Being considerate of others is not being a lemming." That's not what I meant, just because I said it's not that big of a deal and you guys were over reacting I was accused of being a reciter, a yaker and you all jumped on me simply because I didn't agree with the rest of you. In any case this has gone on long enough

Originally Posted By Dabob2 I didn't jump on you. I don't think I even referenced you. In fact, I said to Dizkid that mouthing song quietly was no biggie. When it goes beyond that, it can be rude, as you have just acknowledged yourself.

I protest, my mind remains as blank as ever they are only dangerous when they wiggle their ears
