If Universal doesn't want photos taken, highten the fences and install visual barriers. Sending your security guards around telling people to delete photos because of your own incompetence with fences is stupid.
Yep, this is not something to get so worked up about...at the moment. I'm sure it will end up biting them in the rear at some point (along with their tripod "rule" that no one but three people at the resort apparently know about), but until then, it isn't a battle to pick.
Choose your battles wisely, there is always another day.
When they announced TF was there still guards telling people to delete the pictures?
....and disney puts windows in there fences. lol, Universal hop of the stick.
What tripod rule are you reffering to? Are you meaning what you can do/not do with it? On there policies & restrictions page, they tell you what you can or cannot bring, & there is nothing there that says tripods are prohibited.
Yeah, but it was pretty rare.
I've heard of people having crazy issues during Halloween Horror Nights. Getting questioned about DSLR lens and the likes.
I'm going to be technical here. Universal Orlando is private property. Just as you could have the police remove me from your yard/house, NBCUniversal can have you removed for objectionable conduct or breaking rules as someone here has already shown with language from their annual pass.
Unless you're standing on Turkey Lake Rd, Kirkman, or flying at a certain height, you are not on or in public space.
And this happened to too many people that I trust and /or work withto believe it's a serious problem right now. I can only imagine how normal guests feel when they are attacked by the "tourists" in Amity or security around ss44
I know I already touched on this over in the potter thread, but they can definitely throw you out for not following instruction. It's private property and if they don't want you to take pictures of something from their property they can ask you to leave. It's not the greatest PR policy but they can do it.
Also I would not recommend the tell them no, take pictures of them and then take pictures of the manager idea. Taking a picture of the employee who is enforcing a policy they did not create, and then the manager is simply going to get you trespassed. If you don't agree with it I would strongly suggest telling them you understand their request, but don't agree with it and you would like to speak to a manager about it. And once the manager is there explain to them your issues with the policy and if need the your issues with the team members enforcing the policy.
If you treat them with respect you'll get a lot further. If you go nuts on them guest services will know about you well before you get up there (assuming they let you stay in the park)
Your joking right!! Replying to a quote I made over 8 months ago!! Please stop :horse:
Thanks for the LATE tips!!
I've thought about going around midnight on a weeknight since most of the places besides the clubs close then and the place is almost a ghost town, figure they may not care since there's less people. I just don't like to go somewhere that late, and don't feel like waiting around 3 hours after I leave the park just for that reason. Maybe one of these days...
I've never had an issue at bag check, though I was expecting one on Saturday given the concert (as if you could manage to use a tripod in that mass anyway!). Heck, I think I could have walked through with it still on my back like I can usually do at Disney that night and the guys there wouldn't have cared. I should have tried CityWalk that night, but knowing my luck I would have run into the same guy as before.
