Live Trip Updates From Disney w/ Photos!

[civileng68]

Well, although I think there is no excuse to be RUDE>> I certainly cannot blame him for having a private family moment in a very public place.

I just do not see the value of taking a picture of the back of someone's head just to prove that you saw a celebrity. Did you have his permission?

I think if he was in a parade or signing autographs it is one thing. But to take a picture while he is trying to treat his children to DisneyWorld is disrespectful.

Sorry, just my 2 cents... other than that, I am enjoying your report and pics.

Well actually, I didnt' take it to "prove" to anyone that I saw him. I actually dont feel I have to prove anything to anyone. Actually he was walking towards me when I picked up my camera. He was looking right at me when I started to snap and then looked away at the family coming out of the ride. I have others of his face.

I dont take your comments as rude, so no problems. However, here's my thought on things.....I never intruded on him. I was never walking towards him to get a photo. Thats the big difference. I have every right to take a photo of whatever I want within the rules of the MK. He walked towards me when I got my photo. I did watch him for a while because I was amazed at how he refused to even speak to anyone. I know what you are saying but I've met celebrities at WDW (some much bigger than him in popularity) and they've not only been nice, when I said hello, they saw that I appreciated them and they stopped and shook my hand. If you know much about Rasheed Wallace's public image, you'd know that this the same personality that makes him one of the most hated NBA players in the country, and makes him one of the players with the most Technical Fouls called in NBA history.

Anyways, I agree that people need to have their family time. However, when you are in public and you are a very public figured, it's going to happen. I just didn't like it when I saw a kid go by him and he acted like that. I personally have a big problem with that.

Anyways, lets keep this a positive thread. I really dont care how he acts as I dont like him anyways, since his days at Carolina. I just wanted to point out that he wasn't very friendly.

THanks for the reply... yes, I want to keep this positive too... and your perspective puts everything in place.

BTW>> I have NO idea who he is - so your comments on his rude personality on and off the courts are very telling that maybe he should not be in Disney - the Happy Place!!

Thanks for being positive too, and I apoligise if I offended you.

Great pics! We just got back Tuesday and the parks weren't that bad over the weekend either, however they weren't as dead as right now I guess lol. Hope you're having a great time!

Just FYI, here is the new park map at the Magic Kingdom. Anyways, off to the park shortly (my wife is taking FOREVER to get ready!) and I'll have LOTS of pics to upload tonight!

If anyone has any MK pics they'd like to see, let me know and I'll try to get them.

I am enjoying your report! I will be there at the end of September and I am really hoping the parks are not too crowded.
Thanks for taking the time to share!

Wonderful pictures! I'm sitting at work (shhh!) pretending I'm at Disney with you (where are we off to now? you don't mind do you?!!)

I would love to see some pics of the France pavilion at Epcot - my husband and I are eating at Bistro de Paris in September... maybe you could snap a picture of the back entrance area to the restaurant? Or anything over there... I'm not fussy!

HAVE A GREAT TRIP!

Hey! Great to have you along! Ok,, well right now my wife is just taking her time. My wife really feels she has to be so so pretty when going to the park, while I basically just throw something together and go. So, we're about to leave in 5 minutes for the Magic Kingdom so that my wife can see the new POTC for the first time.

We may/may not go to Epcot today since we're getting a late start. However, I will DEFINATELY get those photos for you when I get there. I'll let you know the day that we are going there.

The clouds have come back into the area but after a short shower it looks like it's still going to be a nice day, even if there's a passing shower here or there. It's not a dreary or stormy looking day.

Since you're along for the day, get ready, we're about to go!
