Photo Bombs
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Photo Bombs
the animal photobombs are funny because they dont do it on purpose, but watch out for my kid, he does it on purpose. he probably appears in more Disneyland pics than anyone else in the world. So if you have a pic with a big kid in either a 49ers hat or SFGiants hat, you now know who it is.

Re: Photo Bombs
I used to love photobombing in the parks. I got pretty good at coming up next to someone just behind so they couldn't see me, looking like I had my arm around them and everything.
Then there was the time that I saw some guy getting his picture taken at Doom. I was out front with the scanner, so I came up and put it up to his head like it was a gun. All with a straight face.
Photobombing as a Cast Member is so much fun, you just have to have the right cojones and personality. If you can't walk up to someone and make them laugh just by being there, theme park photobombing is not for you.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
