Re: Cell Phone Blockers

I think Disney should look into cell phone blockers for attractions. The technology has been around for a while now. They would merely need to install them to affect the inside of rides.

I'm not sure how this would affect radio frequency for communication between cast members. It's definitely something to look in to.

I must say, I love that cell phones are illegal in theatres, museums, etc in NYC. Knowing that a nasty fine awaits the jerk with the awful cell phone ring during a performance of 'Wicked' does my heart proud.

I wouldn't do as far as having blockers. I know that on my next trip, my dad wants me to keep my phone on and with me incase we decide to split up, that way he could reach me. However, my phone has this wonderful devise that beeps once when someone calls and thats it (I wish I had a vibrate feature like most phones). I don't want to be bothered on rides, but it's the only way i'd know if he called to find me seeing as he doesn't believe in leaving messages.

Having cell phones in theaters is not illegal here, but they always ask that you turn it off or on silent mode, that's what I think Disney should do.

I'm a cell phone user. In fact, I live in a house with 2 roommates, so we don't even HAVE a regular "land line" phone. Each of us has our own cell phone. I was just in Disneyland yesterday and we went to DCA later in the day. On Soarin' Over Califorinia, my cell phone started vibrating like crazy in my pocket. First of all, I didn't take it out, because I could have dropped it the 60 some feet to the floor below me. Then my DH's start going off in his pocket. Which told us one thing. It was an emergency, but we still waited until we got off to deal with it. Think about it - If someone is in a car accident or something, of course you want to get there as soon as humanly possible, but what are you going to do? Stand up, scream and yell, have them stop the ride and escort you out?

Well, I have posted this before, but the worst guest I ever encountered was waiting for the parade at MK. Mind you my husband and I had 5 kids with us, we had the older two one either side of the strollers, husband behind one stroller, me behind the other stroller. WE got to MainStreet 90 mins. before parade time. Well, about 15 mis. before parade time, this woman and her mother come with 2 big kids and tell them "to just sit in the footwells of our childrens strollers!" YEAH...she was telling her kids to sit INFRONT of our kids in their strollers! All I can say is its a good thing my husband was there to avoid a MAJOR problem!

I used to feel the same way, til I had children of my own, then I just wished people were required to pass some sort of stroller driving test, think of all the ankles that would be saved! Some stroller pushers are bad no matter where they are, shopping malls, zoo's, theme parks etc. SOrt of like those electric carts, you can always tell who has never sat in one before!

Still I couldn't believe that woman's nerve telling her kids to get in our strollers and block the view for our kids who had been sitting curb side for an hour and half. The worst thing was, the kids started to do it.

LOL....I feel the same way. When I use to push my daughter in the stroller, I went out of my way NOT to bump into anyone and, if I did, I apologized immediately (and not in a half-hearted way). It is very difficult to avoid bumping people when you are casually walking with the crowd and someone in front stops abruptly...BAM! They look at you as if you just slammed their head in a car door!
I look at strollers today as a necessary evil. An occasional tap in the ankle no longer bothers me when it is done accidentally. Parents need to push the strollers and not let their kids push them around like a toy lawn mower. That's when I get angry.:mad:

I met a VERY rude kid who was standing in line for food at the food court of the All Star Sports and he was in front of me getting his food and he was bossing around the poor CMs like they were his own slaves!

"Hey, I want a chicken qasadilla with no chicken. Lots of cheese though! I also want a burger with nothing on it but cheese!"

"Yo, is my quesadilla comming along?"

CM: Hold you horses honey, we're making it.

"Wait, that's no enough cheese. I want more cheese! Lots of cheese!"

CM: what do you want on your burger hon?

"Tomatoes. Lots of tomatoes! Put more on! More! I loooove tomatoes."

All the CMs were bustling around, trying to get this kids order while I was stuck there waiting for my own food. I felt so sorry for the CMs. I wanted to punch that kid squarely in the face.:mad:

I'm sorry but sometimes I think nothing is worse than the smoker who gets right in front of you while you are walking, or the know it all guest who thinks he/she knows EVERYTHING about WDW, when in fact all the information they give is WRONG! AHHH!!:lol:

I've had rude guests see Aien Encounter with us every time we went on it. Each time during the show, some guy would yell out "eat me" as the show was going on. And some other guy was yelling about his mother in law. Sheesh, some people huh. :(

That's supposed to happen. The sound track which is in the binaral sound in the analysus modules behind your head to make it sound like someone in the audience is saying somthing. The person saying "eat me" is probably the audio of a person saying, "Alien, don't eat me! Eat this one!" and when the alien arrives and Spidlok screams, "It's an alien!" and the audio of a person in the audience says, "It's my mother in law!".

Some people are scum and it doesn't matter if they are at the happiest place on Earth. They will just the walk in front of you, step on your foot, talk on their cell phone, leave their trash on the ground ANYWHERE, leave it on a table, or just throw it in the bushes.

They will wait 30 seconds before a parade starts to muscle in on your section becuase they are just plain IGNORANT to manners, people, or courtesy. I've even said to people "What? Am I invisible or something?"

I've given up trying to be nice back to these people. When I hold the door for them and they don't even acknowledge my presence, I say real loud, "You're welcome....even though you don't have a clue". Usually I just get a smirking stare.

When I went and see Return of the King the opening weekend, I had 2 huge black women sit next to me at the movies. I hate stereotyping, but they covered every single one when it comes to black people at the movies.

During the COMING ATTRACTIONS, they started talking LOUD to the movie screen and to themselves. However every other word out of their mouth was the F-word and ebonics.

Then one fell asleep for an hour and when she woke up, she wanted to be filled in on what she missed.

Finally, I lost it. She yells out "You dropped your F-ing sword!" and I screamed at her "Do you mind? There are kids in here and quite frankly, I don't want to hear you mouth either!". She told me "My bad!" and gave me 2 head shakes.

When Aragorn got crowned, she jumped up and yelled at the screen "Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's my nig####!!"

That is why I don't ever go to the movies when it is going to be sold out. Too many people think they are in their living room and can do what ever the please. In their mind, they paid their money just the same as you and they can do as they please,

Unfortunately, the same goes for the parks. I think the best solution is to imprison their parents for raising such idiots.
:lol:

I always thought that was hilarious. The entire show was great; I really hope Stitch can match expectations.

Splash Mountain in DL has never had seat belts. Still doesn't. It has bench seating (thereby making restraints impossible). No one has died at DL recently, aside from the accident a BTM last year. There are people who take off thier seat belts on the Matterhorn, but as far as I know, no one was died on that ride.

We were on Splash Mountain at Christmas time. There was a family in the boat in from of us. Half way through the ride they decided that they did not want to ride. The family, including the 65 year old grandmother, jumped out of the boat and started walking around the ride looking for the exit. The ride was immediately stopped and the CM's started searching for the people. We were sitting there for about 30 minutes while they tried to find the family. After about 35 minutes some members of the family were escorted out by the CM's. But the dad was still missing. It took another 10 minutes to find the dad. The ride started and about 30 seconds later the ride stopped again when some kids in the boat behind us got really scared and jumped out of the boat as well. We waited again for another 20 minutes while they found the kids and escorted them out. When the ride started again. the kid in the back seat decided they wanted to sit in the front of the boat where the other kids were sitting. The mother watched as the kid got out of the boat and changed seats so he could sit in the front. This happened just as the ride started, so again the ride was stopped. The CM's came and talked to them but noone was taken off the ride this time. Another 10 minutes went by though. I think we were on Splash Mountain for about an hour.

Well, I just got back a few hours ago, and was going to start a thread just like this.

First, I must say, I had a great time, the parks were clean, the rides were all working and the only bad CM I ran into was the first person we met, the AK parking lot toll collector, an old guy that called my dad an a*s because he said he wasnt supposed to hold his AP the way he was. He was old, so I no one cared, it was actually more funny than anything else.

Now, I ran into, and hung out with more cool, decent people than I saw rotten guests, but there were some guests that should have been tossed out immediately. A few examples.....
-AK, monday morning, a woman allowing her kid to ______ behind a garbage can on the path that runs behind the tree, from Africa to Kali rapids.
-AK, monday morning (and I think this woman got tossed for this.) At the begining of the line for safari, it makes a 180 turn. Right before that is a break in the bushes. This woman was telling her little kid to go run through the bushes. He did, and she followed, and tried to just stay in line there, playing this "boys will be boys" card. I dont think it worked, because when we got around the bend and to that point, she was still being held up by a very p*ssed of guy from Louisiana.
- MK, monday afternoon, in line for Big Thunder, a family (all wearing tshirts with their name and event on it, but I wont say the name) all in line for the ride, little kids running about, knocking into people, one of the woman was smoking in line, and another woman took a bag of garbage, empty bottles and what not, and emptied it right out on the box you pass at the front of the building. Luckily, the line was moving really fast, so no one noticed.
-Space mountain, the second this guy got through the fastpass, he lit up a smoke and smoked the entire way through the line, til he got up to the point where you choose a side. Now, I used to smoke, and can understand needing a cigarette, but some of these people were just plain rude about it. Another woman lit up while waiting for Carousel, and when somebody pointed her to the smoking section by space, she went into a swearing and coughing fit. It was gorgeous, a real slice of heaven.
-Space mountain again, at the head of the line, where it splits off, this woman came stroming through screaming that we all need to complain that the line for this ride is ridiculous. She then went and reamed the cm with some language that made me almost cringe. On her return, me and a guy in the fastpass line stopped her, and drilled her with a few questions. "Its a ride, you board, ride, and exit, hows it suppposed to go any faster?" "What would you like her (the cm) to do?" She realized that she was indeed an idiot, and stormed by throwing a hissy fit. Again, very attractive. Nothing like a middle aged woman shoving people aside and using the f word repeatedly.

There wre a few others, but for the most part, all the poeple i ran into were more than nice, and some were even willing to toss back a few shots of jager in Germany. Overall a great crowd, its a shame that a small percentage can do such a high percentage of the damage.

And the CMs, I have not a single complaint about any of them. And a few of them had every right to go ballistic on a guest, especially one girl (very attractive to, I might add) working the AK gate. But they all kept their cool and did their job very well.
