Disney updates park rules and begins adding signs at park entrances

[epcot2004]

I'd like to see a general rule of no flash photography on rides/shows made more explicit.

YES!!!!!!!!

The question is, will the average tourist bother looking at the signs?

Not sure Disney cares if people notice the rules, as long as it covers them legally for posting it, that is all they care about in the end.

No feeding the birds - including feeding chicken fingers to the ducks - which my kid thinks is hilarious!

Letter A under company rights is interesting considering the expanse of on ride photos and videos. Has that always been part of the rules? I thought it used to be on the back of paper or printed tix.

I dont remember that either.

To quote Capt Jack Sparrow...."they are more like, guidelines" LOL

Regarding the age in the parks, I'll remind everyone that the age cutoff to be in the parks alone was 7 years old until the policy changed relatively recently (March 2013). I cannot imagine allowing an 8 year old being allowed to enter a park on their own but it was within the rules previously.

Lots of those rules, including the flag one, have been there before I recall.

I'm a big fan of the correct out on E cigarettes.

It's all about how the rules are enforced. For example, the last time I rode spaceship Earth, somebody was smoking weed in it. Sadly, they were not caught.

You'd think somebody would notice that on a security monitor (or some other guest would say something, it's hard to miss the smell).

"Adult" and "Child" are just pricing terms in this context. They could just as easily refer to them as small and large, junior and senior or tall and grande.

then I'd be a Venti....

I wonder at what they consider "large tripods?" I have brought my Benro Angel tripod with me before with no issue and have seen several others with similarly sized tripods many times as well.

The Park rules say "don't feed the birds", Mary Poppins sings "Feed the Birds". Talk about mixed signals!

Disney charges TEN YEAR OLDS admission/dining plan as adults.

I'm 31 and my mouth is still bigger than my Brain.

What wallet size?
Do you know something I don't?!

We brought our 16 year old babysitter on vacation with us a few years ago. Sweet girl who did look young to be honest. The CM working Peter Pan flat out refused to let her and my two kids ride together. No amount of convincing would change his mind. I was like, "Dude, we're right here riding behind them in the next ship for goodness sakes" but no sir was he going to believe me. I've heard of being IDed for alcohol but apparently you need your ID just in case they ID you if want to ride alone with children. Sheesh!

Pricing by height! I like that!

This actually sounds like a decent idea, and makes more sense, since there is a huge difference between how much someone can do if there just an inch taller, or an inch shorter.

I'd like to see pricing by weight!!

I wish airlines would do this, put the person on a scale with their luggage, since why should I have to pay an overweight bag fee just because the extra 2/3/5 pounds is in my luggage rather than on my body.

Im kinda curious about this too, but they probably put this in to prevent commercial camera gear, I'm surprised along with the "personal photos" rule there isn't more rules specified about banning "commercial gear"

I think the hard part is that "commercial" gear is a hard line to define these days. More and more people have various levels of high-end cameras and glass these days which only a decade ago was limited to a much smaller segment. The Forum (formally the Ice Palace) here in Tampa where the Lightning play has rules about length of lens for example in an attempt to limit pro gear. But it doesn't truly provide an accurate limit on pro gear.

My guess is that they left it vague so they can determine on a case-by-case basis in the park when they feel something is too large. But of course, that makes it highly subjective and one CM's definition of "too large" might not be another's idea leading to confusion, frustration and uncertainty on the part of the guest.

They really need to highlight adherence to item (d), proper attire...

what? Jean mini-skirts that expose your rear end when bending over is TOTALLY appropriate.
