The Selfie sticks are the worst. My last trip while watching wishes I kept having multiple people directly in front of me stick a 3 foot pole with a camera in the air directly blocking my and my 4 year olds view of the castle. I moved to the side and boom another stick goes up.
Since these rude guests came after the show started... Squeezed their way in and then Proceeded to ruin my view I did the next best thing. Squeezed my way in front of them then being 6'4''' put my daughter on my shoulders and watched the rest of the show with a camera now waving in the air BEHIND me.

They need a new rule on dark rides along with the flash photography one-- no screens. But also, I wish iPads and Selfie sticks (equally annoying) would go away in the parks. I don't take lots of pictures. I prefer to be present in the moment than trying to relive what I missed when taking video/pictures later. And I don't mind people taking pictures (if they are polite about it), but do we really have to record every second now?

I voted iPad, but then again until I saw this post I thought selfie sticks were a joke. I guess I will see them for myself next week.

LOL!! Nope, unfortunately the "selfie stick" is a thing....I wish I could post a picture of it....beware, if there are as many as when we were in January you may get clothes-lined in the neck by one if you aren't careful...
And when someone finds someone that uses one of these things and is "courtesy" to the people around them, give them a medal, cause I have yet to find someone that is paying attention to the people around them or even care enough to look out for people around them.

I said selfie stick only because I got whacked in the face by one when the girl using it when she turned without seeing who was around her. Looked great with the bruise across my cheek clashing with my already beautiful freckles.
I've never been beaned by an ipad/tablet, but have been known to walk in front of a user on purpose.

I'll be the first to admit on here that the last trip I took, I used a selfie stick. I had seen a pretty cool video that a guy made on his trip to WDW that had some great footage with angles I couldn't figure out how he got (ground level of the monorail as it approached, for example). Well, he used a selfie stick and a GoPro.
I took it with me, but I pride myself on being aware of my surroundings and trying not to annoy others. So, my own rule of thumb was that the camera would never go above the level of my own head. I then used it to film a number of rides and other things around the parks. Worked out great.
That's what bothers me about iPads. I love mine. First off, I don't want to carry it around with me in the parks....too big. But to use its camera and hold it up to film something? Beyond annoying.
