What to do with camera while on rides

[uremol]

We will be going to Epcot and HS. and will be going on most of the attractions. What does everyone recommend about doing with my DSLR camera? can i keep it with me on the attractions? or should i leave it in the hotel room? We only have one day at each park, so going back to take pics isnt an option.

Thanx to all replys and happy disneying

I have before and I will again on the upcoming trip, take pictures on a lot of rides. It's really only the rides where it would be dangerous to someone or the camera that I put it away. So, I'll have it out on ToT but it got put away on RRC.

A lot also depends on what type of camera you have. A point & shoot won't give you the same flexibility as a DSLR.

So I'm not the only one who takes pictures out the open elevator doors at the top of the tower? People always laugh when they look at the ride photos and I have the camera in my face!

I take my DSLR everywhere on every ride .... just hang on to it!

If it is a wet ride I do put it into a bag from one of the Disney stores. I try to get one of these early on in the day.

Nope, not at all and I've gotten those laughs as well.

I've carried mine on every ride- keep it around my neck. Hang on tight to it on RRC. I cover it with a plastic bag on Kali River and the drop on Splash Mt(and when we get stopped under the waterfall). Test Track is a cool ride to try and take pictures on. I too have been known to have the camera to my face on ToT

So they allow photography at TOT in WDW? They don't at DL.

WDW is probably the most photo friendly place I've been. There are very few places were photography isn't allowed. I have photos from every ride I've been on. The hardest being RNR. I get a photo just before take off then hold on for dear life, and try not to squish my camera.

Thank you very much for the replies, i guess its settled. I will take my DSLR to WDW and leave the P&S at home.

I just got back from DL and while I didn't make it to the TOT there wasn't any place that I couldn't take pictures - just not flash photography on the dark rides. Perhaps that's what you heard announced?
