We just came back from out 10 day WDW vacation. Another great trip was had. One particular event though was mind bogglingly irritating. This past Saturday, I saw so many things go wrong in Carousel of Progress that I figured I was paying for sins in a prior life.
First, it's a huge crowd, which is cool and we enter. The opening spiel happens and then we hear a shrill announcement for people to remain seated and the theater will rotate in 4 minutes. Wha? So we have to sit through the opening again. It rotates and we see the first scene. In the middle of the scene another shrill announcement to tell someone in another scene to please sit down and the theater will rotate again in 4 minutes. IT REPEATS SCENE 1 AGAIN. They don't repeat any scenes through the rest of the show but we had at least 3 more interruptions by the cast member. So whatever jerk who kept walking around caused that number of announcements mostly ruined the show. Personally, if people are gonna continue to be this horrible, they are going to have to put cast members in the theater and then removing people from the theater when this happens. People just suck!
Oh and that's not the worst part of it.
What I haven't mentioned is that this 50ish yr old Spanish speaking man is sitting a row behind us and is talking through the entire show. I can hear him over the singing of "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" He's that loud. He is "SHHHED" by numerous people several times. My genteel wife who hates confrontation even turned around and said "Dude! Stop Talking!" and he continues speaking to girlfriend/wife. Finally another spanish speaking younger guy yells in spanish basically for him to shut the **** up hahaha so we get the final scene completely free of talking.
So that was by far my worst ever experience on an attraction when you consider repeated scenes, multiple announcement interruptions due to idiots standing up and rude ppl who think they can talk over an attraction!
When we left the theater my wife immediately wished the MK had alcohol readily available haha
