OP, I hope we end up in the same boat as you someday! That sounds like fun!
Every once in awhile one of the guys in my group with shout to the Blue Bayou tables "Toss me a dinner roll!" or something like it and the diners will usually laugh and some will feign tossing an item.
People do get picky on this ride though. When my DS was 2 or 3 he briefly and unexpectedly had a fear of the dark phase and brought a flashing sword on the boat and kept turning it on during the non-lit parts of the ride (not the actual scenes, just the pitch black parts) to make him feel better. We got yelled at, but the other boat riders didn't appreciate his crying at the dark during the next pitch black part much better so they decided the light was better ... We also only tend to go on this ride when there's little to no line so its not like one couldn't just go again easily.
Can't please everybody.
Now see, this I would have a problem with. Simply because bright flashing lights on dark rides can (and have) induce migraines in seconds. Now, I probably wouldn't say anything to you about it but my ride would be ruined because I'd be sitting there with my face buried in DBF's shoulder/arm/chest until the ride was over. I'm not saying don't do that ever, I'm just saying that the flashing lights would bug me a lot more than people singing does. Perhaps a small idea would in order here? Maybe instead of flashing lights he can use a cell phone for a light? the light from a cell phone is much less intrusive and migraine inducing than bright and/or flashing lights. And please don't take offense, just weighing in on why that might not be the idea.
Wow, do you have a problem with kids singing Its a Small World too? Or how about You Can Fly on Peter Pan?
My opinion: As long as you are not being obnoxious and overly loud, I don't care if you sing a bit. If you ask us to sing with you we just may. I sing the song with my kids too because it helps with any possible anxiety. I don't sing loud enough for others to hear because I don't think I'm all that great of a singer. For those that think riding a ride is like watching a movie and the quiet level should be the same.....really? It's a RIDE not a movie! If you really require that level of quietness to enjoy the ride, I'm sorry.
I think its ruder for grown adults to scream in the stretching room on HM than for singing on a ride. But no one is up in arms over that EVERY.SINGLE.VISIT!
ITA with both of those statements. And really, it's OK for kids to sing but not adults? DL is my happy place too, singing makes me happy, why would I not sing?????
