I have to admit that I am nostalgic for all the trips in my youth to DL when NO one ever deliberately screamed bloody murder just to be annoying, sang (at all) or talked loudly on any attractions, yelled at those dining at the Blue Bayou, took flash photos on dark rides or had any light up devices whether toys or cell phones. You could hear the sounds of the attraction and really be immersed in the experience.
My favorite thing as a child (and probably still is) is the beginning bayou scene of pirates and the blue bayou. Drifting slowly through the swamp with the fireflies, the rocker on the old man's shack the quiet clink of silverware at the restaurant and then going toward the darker area and hearing the narrative of the pirate skull. I was really please when they finally re-did the soundtrack several years ago so you could clearly hear the narrative.
Couldn't agree more! For that minute or two just drifting through the swamp, it is just the most serene and peaceful moment in the sea of craziness and the throngs of people outside. If I can just get through that part without any singing or flashing of cameras or phone, then I am content.
At the same time though, I am never going to be upset at a kid singing along. If there was ever a place to sign your lungs out without a care in the world, Disneyland would be it.
But yeah, annoying high schoolers are completely different. Send 'em all down to Davy Jones' locker!
