You’ve probably heard that Walt Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, and that’s totally true! But even the Most Magical Place on Earth has its flaws…
In this case, the obtrusions are coming from Guests who do this while they’re supposed to be enjoying the rides.

It’s no secret that Guests can get grumpy while visiting the Disney Parks. After all, each person has their limits, and a Walt Disney World theme park is an incredibly overstimulating place.
But this Disney pet peeve is extra irritating, so much so that one Guest felt the need to take to social media, asking Walt Disney World to ban the use of phones on rides:
Dear Disney, Ban Phones On More Rides

We’ve all been there: you’re in one of Walt Disney World’s fantastic rides, maybe at Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom, and someone in front of you feels the need to film the entire experience.
It can be super frustrating and challenging to focus, to boot. Unfortunately, the use of phones on attractions is only outright banned on certain rides, particularly the most thrilling ones.
This is for safety reasons more than anything. But given that Disney cares deeply about their Parks’ overall immersion and performance, they may change the rules to ban phones on other attractions if it’s causing this much distraction.

Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do when someone else is filming during a ride. However, if you’re the Guest trying to film an attraction, consider asking if you can sit in the very back of the ride vehicle to avoid distracting fellow Guests.
Remember: we need to be the magic we want to see in the world!
