By far the most amazing SGT I've seen here as of yet.

You know how there's signs that say "EMERGENCY STOPPING ONLY" just before the archways as you drive onto Disney property?

Well, I was following a minivan one afternoon on my way into work. Speed was about 60mph. As we approach the archway...both sliding doors on the van open up and it slows down a bit. At that time I slowed down giving them plenty of following distance...ready to "e-stop" my truck (you have to expect the unexpected).

So...on either side of the van 2 SG's poke their heads up...get their balance...and both of them are hanging outside the van, one foot in the doorway, one hand on the roof rack, and another hand holding a camera snapping pictures as they pass under the Walt Disney World archway.

It's good to know that we have good law abiding citizens like them following the signage and not stopping. By all means, hanging out of a minivan at 40-50mph (or any speed) is MUCH safer. :confused:

So thank you for not stopping!! :eek: :D:

Wow, that's a new one.

What they were actually doing was depositing their brains in the large yellow buckets placed there labeled place brains here!

Jeez, why would anyone want a pic of the archways THAT bad??? I mean, you're going to WDW, with thousands of great photo ops, and you risk your life for a shot of the archways on the road? :eek: :rolleyes:

How hard is it to put the camera on the wheel and take the photo. Or have the passenger put it on the dashboard (Or even wrap the strap around their arm and put it out the window and grab it)


A good photograph means knowing where to stand

Makes me wonder if the van in question actually did have a sun roof.

they sure were placing a lot of trust in the roof rack installer! hope they didn't get the one put on by a guy with a bad hangover!

....or have a toyota minivan!

(...in the news this evening some guests at WDW discovered another flaw in a toyota product, the roof rack will not take 300 pounds of outward force!)

Call that attorney from the ToT thread, as it was obviously Disney's fault for making such a magnificent entrance then prohibiting SGs from stopping in the middle of the road to photograph it.


Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.
