I was watching the show today and I wanted to comment on something that everyone seemed to be frustrated with.
Issue: Being on phone while on ride
I want to specifically give a reason. This last trip was our first trip with our kids and our oldest is just 2 years old. I specifically have the cell phone on during especially dark areas of a ride to avoid a potentially scared toddler. It also is typically a very short portion of a ride and don't see the reason to avoid a whole ride when I have a solution for very brief moments.
If it was just dark it wouldn't be an issue but its the need of Disney to take away basically all light and then blast the music/talking like they are 16 and taking the car out for the first time. (Side rant why do they insist on trying to ruin my hearing hahaha)
I had also done this on Spaceship Earth and Figment.
Normally I am all for avoiding issues for others but this is one of those things that I feel is way overblown. I do agree flash should not be used but I feel that is much more invasive. Maybe I am out of touch because honestly going to a movie theatre never even notice people on their phone its only when their ringtone goes off that I get slightly annoyed. Also never had it completely distract me while on Disney rides back before kids.
