2012
Disney
Hollywood Studios
I do not believe I have any more to add to the description I gave of our visit to this park in 2010…
One point I will bring up though…
We went to the show ‘Fantasmic’ in the evening, the show was delayed because it started to rain some, staff there refused to let anyone use an umbrella or take shelter under an over hang of a nearby building. No matter what kind of argument you could come up with no one would allow you to get under any shelter or use an umbrella, even wheelchair users where not allowed to use an umbrella to prevent rain from getting onto the controller. Some of these wheelchairs cost in excess of $ 12,000 and they did not care, the only thing you could do is hold your hand over the controller or have a plastic bag to cover it if you had one. I was in a power wheelchair with rubber tires, there was a building 50 feet in back of me, a high steel lighting grid about 75 feet or so in front of me that lightning would likely hit first with people right beside the metal tower that staff was not concerned over, yet they are worried about an umbrella. I know the workers are only doing what they are told, but making people very wet is likely a worse danger than the umbrella. I guess you cannot argue with Disney’s logic.
