Splash Mountain/Space Mountain ride Photo

[Loralynnh]

I have seen people take pictures with their own camera of the screen of the "preview photo" after the ride. Is this frowned apond by CM's and other guest? Starting to see it more and more as most people have camera phones or small digital camera's and they take a quick picture of the screen and walk on by without having to buy the picture. What is other people's view on this?

My regular sized digitial Camera took really bad pics. The flash left a large flashy circle, we could barely make out the people?

meh, we do it all the time, but we also buy more photos than I would guess the average disney goer does. We bought four pictures last time and 6 this trip but we still take pictures of them. We even took a picture of the picture and stood in line to buy it, and then we got the number for our pic off our camera. The cm didn't care.

I think it is cheesy, right up there with when you go into the Mad Hatter Shop and people are trying on a dozen or so hats and taking pictures of themselves. Either buy the hat or get out of the store so others can buy a hat!

p.s. I wish they would attach the ride photos to the Photopass instead of carrying around the pictures all day.

Oh my! I guess I am cheesy then because I do this too. I have no need of a peter pan hat but I would love a picture of me in one. I don't really give a crap what people do, I go to have a good time not judge what others are doing. As long as there are no flash pictures on a ride or strollers running me over I'm happy as a clam!

Our favourite pic from the entire trip is one taken of the preview screen on Splash!!
It is a pretty bad pic, quality wise, but is SO FUNNY that we laugh our butts off every time we look at it together....hilarious. Probably the single most horrid picture of me ever taken, but because it reminds us of how much fun it was...it's our favourite

I would never pay for those pics (how much do they cost anyway???)
Nobody seemed to mind.

Live and let live, I say....doesn't hurt anybody.

I got some awesome pictures of DH and DS on splash all by myself! Who needs to take pictures of the screen! They're in the front of the log.

Doesn't bother me if someone takes a picture of a screen. Or of wearing hats (we've been known to do that a time or two too!).

meh, the CMs are not on commission so im pretty sure the CMs dont care...

may get really really bored though.

I guess I should hang my head in shame too, I take pics of different rides with my cell phone and then upload them to the computer later, but I always buy a proper picture when I come off a ride, just as long as its worth getting. Its nice to have that actual purchased item to scrap book or whatever.

Also it is kinda hard when you go into a store and see those hats that are so incredibly silly, some being completely rediculous looking and you just have to put it on your head and take a picture cause some of your friends just wont believe it. Some are just too cute but you only have enough money to buy just one, so you take pictures of yourself with the other hats on so you remember which ones to buy the next time you go.

 

[tink too]

Besides, how can you tell which hat suits you best if you don't try on a few first?



We have pics of DD posing with a lovely Spongebob ensemble, Stitch hat and hands set and a very cool 70's style fro.

I would say there are probably more of us GUILTY people out there than not.

We have so many on ride photos taken of the screen. And I have quite a few pictures of us in dorky hats.

 

[DorkyDisneyMom]

Cheesy too!

I didn't take a picture of the screen because I felt bad. DS5 and I went on Space together. He didn't tell me he would "Never ride it again." until it was too late. So I missed that picture. If I would have been cheesy and taken the pic I would at least have it. Or the number to get it. So I took pictures after that.

But I did buy the hat in the Mad Hatter. In fact I bought 2. LED Dream ears, Silver sequin Minnie.

So maybe I am only half cheesy.

OK, i am guilty of taking ride pictures too...but most pictures don't include my whole family, there are 5 of us and many pics only show 4...As for the hats, never done, but really, hadnt thought of it being a cute picture moment til now ...If i was going to buy lots of ride pictures, i would cut down on how much i spend in the parks on other things, like food and souvenirs, so really, it probably all works itself out....have fun...(and two out of 3 trips we have purchased a picture)

Antoher cheesy here! but in my defense...
1. Why else do they put hat shops by kid-swap rides if they DON'T want you to try them on to pass the time? Besides...I have to take the pictures to put on my myspace to have my friends vote on which one I should by next visit (which honestly, I AM going to buy the winner...I swear!)
2. We totally do the picture of the picture...We don't get the whole family on one ride (we are still in the kid-swapping age) so we would have to buy ALOT of pictures to get them all!

Tips- turn off the flash and get it as close to the screen as you can, and hold your breath when you push the button. Splash comes out the BEST, TOT and Space will still be a bit blurry, as the viewing areas are really really dark. But its fun!

 

[Goofy_Dave]

I don't think it's cheesy at all. And I doubt it bothers the DLR brass. They know the screens are pretty low resolution and the viewing rooms are generally dark so pictures won't come out too well.

But that's just my $.02. I tend to be pretty anti-souvenir anyway. But I do wish I had a couple of those ride photos sometimes.

 

[farmfresh]

Guilty for photos but not for hats! We have bought photos on occasion, but they are expensive...gues it's all just part of the fun

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

I'm guilty for both!

Push, shove, elbow, oh sorry....Can I fit in the cheesy room too? Its getting crowded in here.


Yep, we're guilty. We do buy one ride photo each trip tho. Its great for the scrap book. And honestly, I'd buy more if they were included in photopass.

 

[tink2dw]

Too Cheesy a hat to purchase, it was only a brim? Not good to wear a very rainy state.
Dh in a Cheesy way way too expensive a jacket, still hooked with a chain and padlock, and a hat that was too small to buy.
