I once stopped by the side of the road to take pictures of our local nuclear plant. It was dusk, and the sunset had turned the entire reactor vessel pink. Against the blue sky it was an awesome look. I was on a public highway, but within about twenty seconds of me stopping and pulling out the camera, there were three security trucks headed my way with lights on. I left before they could get ot me, but it just shows you how paranoid some places are.
I shoot from the hip alot at disneyworld, and any other places there might be freaky people. Just zoom out, point and shoot. It can work.
While photographing random strangers is okay legally... they might take offense to it. Having the law on your side is a good thing in the end, but when you're running away from a big burly guy and his friends, being on the right end of the law doesnt help much.
Also - people are creeped out if you take pictures of kids (or if people even THINK you are taking pictures of their kids). At disney, it might not be such a big deal, after all there are cameras and kids everywhere. But try it somewhere else and you may have some angry parents thinking you are some sort of perv.
