After watching a 1960s movie of Disneyland, I came to the conclusion that the real problem with today's Disneyland is not the fault of Imagineering, but with the attendees themselves. People in the 50s and 60s dressed and behaved better. They treated others with respect and cordiality as they themselves expected to be treated. Todays attendees can be rude and sometimes disgusting. Making out in the middle of Disneyland is paramount to doing it at a children's movie. How base can you be? Making out with your girlfriend on a dark ride? Well, just count it as soft-porn for the security people watching with infrared. During the summer months, I wonder if people even care how they look and act sometimes. Not to mention the amount of cleavage for children to see at every turn. And flashing for ride photo snaps? Well, remember, everything makes it to the Internet. Count your little lapse in judgment equal to... well you know, don't you?Technology also has really ruined much of the rides for me. People do not have enough sense to turn off flashes... even when told to do so numerous times. Now, really, how much sense does it make to use a flash? Will a flash make the shot of the fireworks display brighter?
I have no problem with video cameras, seeing that I use one to record ride experiences myself--they are quiet, and provide little distraction to the attraction. However, it is important to keep the video light off, and polite to keep the playback monitor closed.
Unfortunately, there is nothing Disney can do about this decline of mankind's morals or attitude. And I am afraid, being what humanity is becoming, it will only get worse with time. One could only wish for a day to get away from it
