WDW “Content Creators” Invading DLR

[Tinkaboo]

Well, since we are all off on a tangent , I don't like all the people filming the whole ride with their phone OR a camera for whatever purpose. It is SO ANNOYING. I don't care what the reason is that they are doing it...JUST STOP.
Whether it is to post to social media or send to Grandma, it is disruptive to those around you. I know you don't care but you obviously keep doing it...same people who talk loud on their cellphones in public...they live on a bubble in their own little world. We have lost respect for each other as people and have entered the world of "I", not "we". Our society continues down this rabbit hole of social media, where "I" can be who I want, do what I want, say what I want with little regards to others.

Because DL attracts people from every walk of life from all over the world, each trip I have an experience that totally shocks me (a man screaming and berating his wife and child near Monsters Inc) and one that totally amazes me (someone chasing a stroller with the dropped toy the mother doesn't even realize is gone). It is the best microcosm of our world ever...good, bad and indifferent. It's a different world than I grew up in...this is where everyone says "OK, BOOMER" but I'm sure every generation has felt that way when they reach a certain age. I am just thankful that there still IS a Disneyland for ALL OF US to visit...even the so-called influencers.

This is the Disneyland forum. Can we keep the conversation in this thread focused on the Disneyland Resort?

Amen @LKing.

Disney should enforce guest behavior in general, like no flash photography or recording when on rides and experiences like they do in TDR. That would alleviate like 90% of the complaints here.

Disney does not own TDR so that is OLC's policy and not Disney's.

I understand, I’m just saying it could be a good initiative to adopt

Fair. I don't think it'll happen for a variety of reasons but a girl can dream...

Really funny story related to this;
DD (college age) is on the spectrum and, in general, does not like strangers and will not talk to strangers. We are in a fairly long line for TLM at WDW and there is a family of 4 people from outside the country that spoke only broken English, right in front of us. They're holding up the line, not really understanding CM directions when we get to the load area. I'm a family of 5 and DD decides she wants to ride alone - just needs a little quiet time (don't we all?). The family in front of us totally botches the load and 2 of the 4 get in the SECOND shell they were supposed to be riding in. DD is already loaded in the first of our 3 shells, alone, but now the 2nd pair from the family in front of us has nowhere to go and loads the shell with her, with DD in the middle of the pair.

DS is in the shell with DW, and is in absolute hysterics as he points the situation out to my other DD and myself in the other shell. Not only is DD now sandwiched between these total strangers, but BOTH strangers are shooting video of the entire ride. That's right, she went from wanting to ride alone, to playing a starring role of not one, but 2 family vacation videos. Now all anyone in my family has to do is say, "remember the LM family?" and we are back into complete hysterics, every time.

That was discussing a hypothetical, hasn't yet happened. Guess what was also hypothetical? My reaction to it. I suppose it would depend on what was being loud and the content of it.

If obnoxious people don't bother you, I can safely conclude which character traits you probably have.

I didn't say obnoxious people didn't bother me. I'm just aware that they come with the territory and don't let it "ruin my expensive vacation."

So instead of calling out/addressing inconsiderate behavior we should just avoid it? I don't agree with that logic . . .

If you can address it and move on with your day without letting it consume your thoughts than there is no reason to avoid. I was only giving that advice because that poster specifically said it would ruin their vacation.

What can I say. You're a better human. Congrats.
