Put that camera away.
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.
