Water Pistols To Fight Crowds?

[mf1972]

Only if it were in play, our current gene pool needs some bleach.

i always fall back to this in times like these

I doubt that this squirt gun thing would be accepted/ condoned at WDW, but if it was I’ll remind Mrs Spanish to bring bail money.

What would stop a guest from squirting another on rides/attractions?

If they do it on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, they could always blame the spitting camels.

Thank the Spaniards.
Thank overtourism.
But mostly thank the Spaniards.

I thought it was ‘thank the Phoenicians’…?

crowds will always suck in Disney parks nowadays, unless disney limits capacity this is just how it is now

If someone douses me with a water gun for no reason, I will immediately be performing an on-site proctology exam on that person with that same water gun.

Only if they're seen. Which is why I plan to use mine when the lights go out in the Haunted Mansion. Maybe spray one of the many morons that feel the need to recite the Ghost Host spiel.

Squirt my phone and you end up in the lagoon

This may have already been mentioned/discussed, but…
If people decide to do this, I predict a security check nightmare.
Disney security already checks all bags, but they don’t check all pockets. If this crap starts up, not only are they gonna’ still check all bags, but all guests will hafta’ go through security and empty their pockets.
On another note…
I don’t care if it’s 105 degrees (it reaches that here in Texas regularly during the summer), if someone feels the need to squirt me, I’m gonna’ take it away and smash it with my foot, or they will be needing to visit first aid to have it removed from somewhere…!!!!!
OK, OK…I’ll get a CM or security…!!!
But, it sure would be satisfying to crush the damn thing under my heel…!!!
Also, what kinda’ morons come up with this crap…?!?!?!

Those are definitely special circumstances when it is ok and recommended to use the squirt guns!

Chanting South American Tour Groups with Flags would be another.

Just saw this news story about water pistols being used as a method to fight overtourism in several European cities recently.

This got me to pondering, could WDW eventually implement this method during busy holidays, weekends, etc to add some crowd relief?

Example: Park visitors experiencing crowd shock at MK during the infamous week after Christmas can purchase water pistols at select shops to assist them in navigating the congested park streets (?)
This wouldn't cause any physical harm to the heavy crowds; simply give them a quick, wet reminder to GET OUT of the way and allow us to enjoy the park with sanity and leisure.

If someone is uncomfortable using a water pistol to chase away crowds, maybe offer a tour group type of method, where a designated CM or security can be hired (at another additional fee, of course), to lead the charge, blasting away as your small group can get to your next attraction or restaurant with ease.

This could work to make the experience during peak seasons and congested areas more enjoyable. Your thoughts?
And happy squirting.

What if it is not just water?
