I have finally converted my Handycam tapes to VHS from my trip three weeks ago. I've noticed on a number of different dark rides have a flashing light that I don't remember seeing when not looking through the view finder. Now these aren't all the infrared beam to set of the magic moments pins since my wife was wearing one and it wasn't going off and it appears on several different sports during the same ride.
Also just to make things clear, I was not taping with the nightshot on.
And will the PotC get their message straight. Over the PA system, a CM very clearly stated "No videotaping or flash photography." When I finished the ride, I asked how long had it been since they hadn't allowed videotaping. The unloading CM's response was that only external video taping was not allowed.
Note to Disney: if you don't want a ride to be taped please post a sign, have an announcement prior to actually sitting down for the show or getting in the ride vehicle. Getting all set up and then have a CM tell you right before you take off "no videotaping" ala Dinosaur (CTX), R-n-R, ToT tends to spoil the moment.
All that being said I probably won't bring the camcorder next year after two trips and 10 hours of videotape.
