Please, as much as I am Iām sure we all want to hear about your day, PLEASE do not take on-ride photos.
Iām a little like Bruce Banner when I see that. āDonāt make me angry. You wouldnāt like me what Iām angry.ā
It is one of the few things that infuriates me. (That, and people deciding to text while the movie is playing at the theater, which happened all throughout āThe Incredibles 2ā last night. Thanks, guy. I waited more than 10 years for this sequel, and you canāt keep your phone in your pocket for 2 hours?)
Anyhowā¦still. Looking forward to your on-going updatesā¦sans the on-ride photos.
ETA: I should mention that Iām not talking rides like Itās a Small World, etc. But BTMR, Splash Mountain, etc.
Why not?

Yeah, I donāt see why taking ride photos is a problem. As long as your flash is off, itās all fine.

It is dangerous. People have been hurt, sometimes seriously, which is why most parks have rules against it.
In one particularly egregious case, I was on a coaster at Six Flags in Chicago. While going up the hill, one guy in the front pulled out a selfie stick and took a picture of himself and the rest of the train. Everyone was so mad because if something went wrong, it was one of US who would be hurt. Fortunately, the ride op noticed, stopped the train as it was just about to crest the hill and forcibly removed the guy from the train. He was kicked out of the park.
Most of the rides at Disney are okay, but rides like BTMR are a definite no-no.
The two photos I posted of BTMR and Splash Mountain were both taken during slow sections. Thereās no way Iām taking photos during the whole of the BTMR ride. For a start, on fast rides, Iām always clinging on to the handles ā I never put my arms in the air. Secondarily, youād just get a blurry mess if you tried doing it when the ride was moving quickly.
At the front of my boat in Splash Mountain, there was a guy with a selfie stick taking photos (or perhaps video). Shows that Disney security screening isnāt that great because Iām pretty sure theyāre banned.

Yes. They are. Grr. Makes my blood boil.
I took some amazing photos of my ride on 7DMT ā well, Disney took them, ahem ā but MemoryMaker is refusing to activate them and I have to call. Ugh.

You do you. Scroll past the Debbie Downers.

We had someone texts and take flash photography during People Mover and it totally ruined the ride, especially the dark sections. We were so annoyed.
My feelings exactly! I canāt wait to hear all about it!
This gives me the 100% warm fuzzies. <3 <3
