Disney World visitor slammed for ‘incredibly obnoxious' social media fueled behavior: ‘Takes the magic out of visiting the parks'
Whether it's at a concert or an amusement park — nowadays it seems that all people want to do is have their phones out to film whatever is going on in front of them.
One frustrated vacationer took to the r/WaltDisneyWorld forum on Reddit to vent about an obnoxious Disney World parkgoer who had one too many smartphones out to capture what was probably some sort of performance taking place in front of them.

The photo shared was of a man using both hands to hold not one but several iPhones, along with camera mounts and portable chargers. Good luck to anyone standing behind him because their view had to be blocked.
3 The man had one too many cameras out.
The Redditor asked the community if anyone else thought this scenario was obscene.

And boy did they.
'Absolutely. I can't stand people who regularly live stream in the parks, tbh… It's incredibly obnoxious, especially when they have rigs or multiple camera setups like this.'
3 Commenters in the thread agreed that it's obnoxious to constantly have cameras out.

'Disney influencers like this take the magic out of visiting the parks. Disney World is a place to escape the world and enter one of whimsy and fantasy. Disney really needs to start limiting the kind of filming equipment people can bring in[to] the parks…'

Even a Disney cast member — an employee who works at a Disney theme park — shared insight into how they feel about all these eye-roll-worthy vloggers and bloggers who film everyone and everything.
'Being a CM sucks when it comes to this. Yes, some influencers will ask permission to film us, especially involving pin videos. However, many exploit us for content. People generally don't realize that performing isn't just limited to entertainment. Every CM is always putting on a show…'
3 Some Disney fans need to check themselves and their rude behavior.

Speaking of rude behavior by Disney visitors, a SFGate editor, Katie Dowd, shared her gripe about inconsiderate guests on park rides.

'Just because you've been on a ride enough times to memorize the spiel doesn't mean others have. It's one thing to laugh, clap or otherwise quietly enjoy an attraction. It's quite another to become a distraction,' she wrote.
Chatty Disney Kathys also need to get a grip.
'First-timers are at the mercy of regulars who apparently view the experience as a moving park bench. If your conversation can't wait 15 minutes, you shouldn't be getting on a ride,' she quipped

Why Dennis Quaid's iconic 'Parent Trap' pool scene was a costume designer's nightmare
Not even Elizabeth James could save Dennis Quaid from the fashion heroics of "The Parent Trap." Quaid starred alongside then-newcomer Lindsay Lohan and Natasha Richardson in the 1998 family comedy about estranged twin sisters Hallie Parker and Annie James, who scheme to reunite their divorced parents after meeting during a chance encounter at summer camp. One of Quaid's most memorable scenes from the Disney film, which grossed $92.1 million at the global box office, is when his character Nick Parker spots his fashion designer ex, Elizabeth James (Richardson), at a hotel pool area. Stunned to see his former spouse after more than a decade, Nick quickly — and ungracefully — makes his way across the deck to talk to James, eventually falling into the pool after bumping into a hotel employee. Nick, who was dressed in a crisp two-piece suit and black dress shoes, later emerges from the pool and sheepishly walks over to James to greet her. "Dennis was very game to fall into the pool a few times in a row, which meant drying off, changing, and taking another spill," the film's director Nancy Meyers told People magazine in an interview published Aug. 9. "He was just wonderful to work with." The now-iconic scene was filmed at The Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, California, and turned the marina hotel into something of a pop cultural landmark over the years. "Of all the filming we have had at the hotel over the past 35 years, that is the movie that guests mention the most," Ed Curry, the hotel's director of sales and marketing, told the magazine. "People love the movie, and all seem to know that is our pool area." 'Parent Trap' reunion! Lindsay Lohan explains Elaine Hendrix's 'Freakier Friday' cameo How Dennis Quaid pulled off 'Parent Trap' pool scene Quaid's commitment to his "Parent Trap" wipeout came at a sartorial cost. Costume designer Penny Rose told People magazine that Quaid changed between six identical designer suits from Giorgio Armani for the aquatic scene, with the production crew even spraying the suits with pool water to test the fabric. Rose noted that the chlorine from the pool water caused the suit to shrink. "I mean, I've had Tom Cruise in a fake suede shirt so that he can get it wet," Rose said. "But you can't really replicate an Armani suit." A 'Parent Trap' revival? Dennis Quaid not sure it's possible without Natasha Richardson Quaid reflected on the impact of "The Parent Trap" on his career in a March interview with People magazine, telling the outlet that the beloved dad character has become his signature role. "Everybody grew up with 'The Parent Trap,' and now there's always new kids coming along," said Quaid, jokingly adding: "I tell people, 'I was your babysitter because your parents would put this on. They'd go do what they wanted to do in the next room.'"

Watch a pre-fame Sabrina Carpenter, at age 12, cover Ozzy Osbourne's iconic anthem Crazy Train
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sabrina Carpenter is kinda a big deal. A former Disney TV star, the 26-year-old Quakertown, Pennsylvania singer released her debut album Eyes Wide Open back in 2015 to little fanfare, but her most recent collection, 2024's Short n' Sweet, topped the national charts in 18 countries, spawned three UK number one singles, has already sold more than three million copies in the US alone, and catapulted the singer into stadiums worldwide. But before she got her first big break, landing a role as a character called Maya Hart on Disney Channel show Girl meets World, Carpenter was given a thorough education in old school rock and metal - Queen, The Beatles, Rush, Guns N' Roses, Ozzy Osbourne and more - by her father David. "The Trees is the longest song I've ever heard," she joked to Rolling Stone earlier this year about Rush's classic single from 1978's Hemispheres album. "I heard it my whole childhood."Rather sweetly, visual proof of Carpenter's pre-fame fondness for classic rock exists online, in the form of a rather fine cover of Ozzy Osbourne's signature anthem Crazy Train recorded in collaboration with an uncredited guitarist, bassist and drummer back in 2011, when she was 12-years-old. And while it's highly unlikely that, unlike Ozzy, the 12-year-old Carpenter could fully identify with the idea of "going off the rails", you'd have to have a heart of stone not to appreciate her fully-committed efforts to channel the Prince Of Darkness when tackling the most famous on his 1980 solo debut, Blizzard Of Ozz. All aboooooooard! "[Blizzard of Ozz bassist] Bob Daisley did a lot of the lyrics on that," Ozzy told this writer in 2018. "I probably did 'I'm going off the rails like a crazy train', and 'Crazy, but that's how it goes', but then I'd get stuck and he'd help me. And Randy [Rhoads] was brilliant, he was the first guy in my life who was like, 'Try doing this here, and this here…' When we did Crazy Train I knew we had something good. It was a magical time." Earlier this week, on July 30, Osbourne was buried in England, following an emotional stop in his hometown, Birmingham, where thousands of fans turned out to pay their respects to the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, following his death on July 22. Osbourne co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 and made eight albums with the Godfathers of Metal before being dismissed from the pioneering band in 1979, due to what was perceived by his bandmates to be excessive substance invaluable encouragement and assistance from his manager/wife Sharon, Osbourne then launched a hugely successful solo career, beginning with Blizzard of Ozz. Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now , a feature-length documentary focussing on the final years, is currently in production. The film is being directed by BAFTA Award winner Tania Alexander of London-based Broadcasting & media production company Echo Velvet. As well as interviews with Osbourne and his family, No Escape From Now will feature interviews and insights from Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi, Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Billy Idol, Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist Zakk Wylde and producer Andrew Watt.

Watch pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter, aged 10, cosplaying Axl Rose to cover Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Regardless of how fanatical and undiluted your love of rock and metal is, you cannot possibly be unaware of the existence of pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter. A former Disney TV star, the 26-year-old singer's 2024's album Short n' Sweet, topped the national charts in no fewer than 18 countries, and included three UK number one singles: her upcoming seventh album, Man's Best Friend, is due on August 29, has already yielded one UK/US chart-topper in the form of single Manchild. Basically, she's kinda a big deal. But before international superstardom beckoned, Carpenter, like almost every 'overnight success' in the music industry, worked for years honing her craft. And as part of her musical education, she was schooled in classic rock - Queen, The Beatles, Rush, Guns N' Roses, Ozzy Osbourne and more - by her father David. "The Trees is the longest song I've ever heard," the singer joked to Rolling Stone earlier this year about Rush's classic single from 1978's Hemispheres album. "I heard it my whole childhood." Remarkably, there's no shortage of visual evidence of Carpenter's early years in existence online. Want to see her perform The Beatles' Come Together, back in 2009? Here you go. Wonder what she sounded like, aged 12, channelling her inner Prince Of Darkness? Wonder no more. Ah yes, you cry, but I bet she wouldn't have dared try to emulate Axl Rose's distinctive vocals, by covering a Guns N' Roses classic? But that's where you're wrong, friend. Behold, Sabrina Carpenter, aged 10, and her cover of Sweet Child O' Mine. If, by chance, hearing this has made you wonder what other unusual or unheralded covers of this Gn'R classic exist out there on the World Wide Web, here are 10 of the most interesting covers of Sweet Child... , ranging across the musical spectrum from jazz to house, ska to goth, electro to metalcore.
