pictures and video

[Planner999]

Are there any rides or shows that you cannot videotape (or take pictures on) ?

Thanks!

There are. Usually, they will mention this before the ride or show starts. Here's a list of some of them from http://www.allearsnet.com:

Magic Kingdom
You can tape anywhere except at Carousel of Progress (which allowed taping in the past) and the last part of Alien Encounter (no one stopped me from taping poor Skippy being burnt) [Note: This attraction is now Stitch's Great Escape].

Epcot
Honey, Universe of Energy (taping was allowed years ago pre-Ellen & Bill Nye) and American Adventure (no announcement was made, but I asked prior to the show and was told no, the moral being don't ask).

Disney-MGM Studios
Star Tours (I was previously allowed at Disneyland), Sounds Dangerous (you can video lobby exhibits), and no where at no time in the Animation Studio Tour. Yes, you can tape Muppets 3D. I had a lens from a broken pair of glasses all the way back from Magic Journeys and it worked fine on my camera. You won't be able to play back in 3D, but the picture will be viewable. Please do not be encouraged to purposely break a pair of glasses!

You cannot tape is the Backstage Pass in the Soundstage portions of the tour at Disney-MGM. [Note: This attraction is currently closed]

During the Super Soap Weekend, it is much better to tape your favorite star in the air conditioned comfort of Doug's theatre during their half hour talk sessions, then during the autograph signing unless you are just a glutton for punishment for a few seconds of good tape.

Animal Kingdom

When I was taping Tough to be a Bug they told me to stop. (Jackie, 7/99)

Any sort of photography, especially flash photography or video camera lighting, is usually discouraged at the Voyage of the Little Mermaid attraction since it could "spoil the magic" for you or other guests around you.
