Disney's Policy On Public Singing - Forming A Flash Mob

[Ricky Spanish]

The more I read this thread, and the more it is explained, the worse the idea seems.

This doesn't sound like a flash mob, it sounds like a relatively small group of people doing something that is fun and wouldn't negatively impact other guests in any meaningful way. I imagine anyone recognizing the reference would get a kick out of it.

I think the issue maybe more than the small group actually doing this. crowds are tricky things and while I can see a small group starting it, the problem becomes when large groups stop and want to see "what's going on". I have not been to the new star wars land but can you imagine the stroller jam up if some thing like this happens in say the pandora area, which is very congested to start with??

Thanks for the feedback and info, whether pro or against our idea.

I do understand completely why some would consider this to be annoying. That is the main reason we were thinking about making this a "walking out", mobile as we're leaving gig. Not a stationary thing.

Here is the scene we would be reenacting if it were to happen. The choreography to our "dance" is simple, walking and waving festive cups around, as seen starting at 3:12 and going until 3:46 in the video. Obviously no jumping, hootin' hollering or major disturbances to guests. Just a festive stroll more or less as we exit the land.


Someone even suggested bringing a Bea Arthur look wig to wear during the proceeding, to reflect her character from the special. I doubt we'd take it that far since that borderlines wearing a costume in the park.

again how about in Oga's canteen. this scene takes place in a bar.

...Disney rules clearly state you can only do this with either the Blue or Green milk mustaches.

and have Wookie slippers on

 

[larryz]

You will be escorted out of the park by stormtroopers and banned from Disney forever.

... which would make a great viral video.

Are you on vacation? Would it be fun? Are you paying for your vacation?

If the answer to those three questions is "yes," then I think you have your answer.

Your prospective plan is pointless as far as I can see........what are you looking to accomplish here? Be the center of attention for 90 seconds? Introduce something bewildering to 87 out of every 88 guests leaving the one who did recognize it shaking his head in disbelief or embarrassment.

What is the point of this? No, really.....what is the point?
(as I simultaneously ask as a genuine question and dismiss it with rhetoric.......if that is even possible)

It's their $$, time and enjoyment. Bewildering 87 guests? Life is too short to think about petty things. Have fun and don't look back. Who gives a rats %@# on what others think?

How can I possibly argue with that, Lilo.

I probably would've gotten the reference and laughed. Seeing the Happy Life Day shirts makes it more endearing.
Rather come across this group than a family walking 6 people wide with strollers/scooters and who split for nobody. There are much more universally annoying things going on all day long at WDW than a group singing a song on their way out.

 

[ppete1975]

Your idea of quiet is diff than mine im sure. People want to immersed in the lands there and pay a lot of money to do it, why disrupt others just so you can say you sang. I can understand certain things but this seems to just be self serving. If you were doing something to celebrate a lost one, remember a special occasion (reenacting a first meeting, or wedding proposal) I can understand that but to just get a group together to sing a song that lucas would kill you himself if he heard it.. I don't understand.

again how about in Oga's canteen. this scene takes place in a bar.

I personally like this idea a lot. We tossed the thought around in family meetings prior to our flight this morning, but decided against it for several reasons.

Oga's, while fitting to the scene we're paying homage to, would create risks of disturbing other guests, as it has it's own "show" taking place. We're really trying to avoid the highly congested, BIG areas such as inside shops, around the Falcon, and make this as quick and mobile as possible. Also, since several of our family members like to fast on Life Day starting at sunrise, avoiding any food and beverage locations would be a contribution to their self-discipline.

Here's the tentative plan from a map my cousin posted on our family Facebook page. As you can see we're steering clear of the most active areas to keep this fun, but not intruding. We meetup with the other families joining us (up to 27 people so far and growing!!) near Rise Of The Resistance area since it is yet to open, put on any Bea Arthur wigs, start our song, make the walk toward the other end without infringing on the Falcon crowds, and have the Bea Arthur wigs removed before entering TSL at the other end, so to avoid confusion and looking silly.

I'm enjoying your infographics

You are going to look silly (not necessarily my first choice of word), and people will be confused, no way around that.

So your small group of 14 in your first post has now risen to nearly 30
I can see security becoming involved.

 

[Victor Kelly]

I can see people pushing past them in irritation.

Where and why do people come up with these ideas?

 

[DisneyDaver]

Years ago after IlliumiNations, my extended family (8 people including my 3, 5 and 8 y/o neice/nephews) sang Aikin Drum together as we walked from the Japan pavilion to the front of Epcot. We did it as a way to help keep the kids awake! Certainly not a flash mob, but we did have a few people ask if they could join in. We walked by many CM's and none of them said anything to us. I didn't realize this could be an issue.

Theme Park Insider - November 2019
"In the new Disney+ Star Wars series, The Mandalorian, a throwaway line in an early scene mentions Life Day. That means Life Day is canon again! And with Life Day again an official "thing" in the Star Wars universe, the creative path is clear for Disney to bring Life Day to Batuu for next year's Holidays at the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts."

Have fun celebrating in Batuu SnowGoof!

Are you on vacation? Would it be fun? Are you paying for your vacation?

If the answer to those three questions is "yes," then I think you have your answer.

That's exactly what we said to the security escorting us out of Fantasyland after our naked brony spin on Cinderella Carousel!
