PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: We have a great feature here on MW called Flickr. You can find it on the first tab under Resources at the bottom of your screen. This is the perfect place to post pictures such as drawings you've done or coloured, close-ups of your face (or other non-Disney faces), pets, your non-Disney meals, "hidden" Mickeys not intentionally left around the resort area by Disney themselves, etc. The lounge is primarily the place to post pictures of the parks, especially real-time pics, RAKs, and your cute kids enjoying Disney stuff (new babies, etc, always welcome). If you post something to our Flickr, please be sure and post a quick description in the lounge so that those who are interested know to go look at it. If you are ever unsure of whether your pic belongs in Flickr or the lounge, post it in Flickr. Someone will soon let you know if you should repost it in the lounge. Thanks, peeps! :)
The more you know... - outatime

There are a lit if new MWers who might want to share things and don't even know Flickr is there. You can put clips on there too - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:55PM
My bad BLG! I'll report my post and post to flickr!!! - LaPetiteSirene
400.5 #331 8:05PM
LPS, it's fine. Just a heads up so ppl know. Sonja, great to see you in the lounge. Love to Bullseye - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:06PM
Don't want to step on any toes - LaPetiteSirene
400.5 #331 8:09PM
Great reminder about flickr! - CravingDisney
150.1 #2288 8:10PM
Love to BLG, can't wait to see you again, if we can help let us know. - Bullseye
5243.6 #4 8:11PM
Thx Bullseye! I look forward to my kids meeting you and Sonja and my other special friends. It's nice to show them that there are some really great people in the world when we only seem to gear about all the bad stuff :) - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:20PM
LPS, you're not stepping on toes. I'm sure lots of MWers would be interested in Disney inspired makeup and there are lots of Mac fans here, including me. You should repost it :) - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:22PM
OMG, BLG! I didn't realize the amount of spamage going on. Thanks for the reminder! - disney42dude(CM)
521.7 #221 9:08PM
No worries, TigerLily! :) I might add that randomly looking up multiple Disney related pics online and posting them is also Flickr-worthy rather than what we need in the lounge. Thanks - BLG
1049.5 #81 9:09PM
42dude, it's getting out of control and pushing quality off page one really fast. - BLG
1049.5 #81 9:12PM
Yes. Bucket residence!!!!! No this is not The Chinese takeaway!!! - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 9:16PM
I think it is being done for rank points. - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 9:17PM
I never noticed the flickr button. Thanks! - Disneyaddict
200.2 #1624 9:25PM
Ha I just logged in and I know what you mean! Great public service announcement - Momof2princesses
151.6 #2258 9:27PM
Yes, posting a bunch of pics that you find on the Internet is definitely not quality conent. Let's reel it in, folks. - disney42dude(CM)
521.7 #221 9:30PM
I don't think it's always being done for rank points. I'm pretty new, and I just didn't know! I thought it was Disney-related, not DisneyLAND-related. When I posted a pic of the "close up of my face" it was because I got those ears from Michelledork and I was just trying to say thank you and show everyone how cute they are! I didn't know it was inappropriate. I am a hard core rule-follower, so I'm sorry :( - TandAlly
213.5 #1433 9:32PM
is the button only on iphone app? not on web version? - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3262 9:33PM
actually, tandally, I think your pic was totally appropriate. Googling a ton of pics or posting a ton of drawings is not. - BLG
1049.5 #81 9:34PM
@PinkyMouse - iPod/Phone/Pad - but here is the address if you want to post to our Flickr page - near27face@photos.flickr.com - BLG
1049.5 #81 9:36PM
Tandy she wasn't referring to you! Those were MW related so fine. - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 9:36PM
Whew! Good, I really didn't want to be one of "those" people! I like it here! - TandAlly
213.5 #1433 9:38PM
@BLG-is there a link to SEE the pix that the peeps post though? That one is to post, right? oh by the way, good morning! :) - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3262 9:49PM
Pinky, there must be, as Flickr is on the web - does anyone know the answer to this?
- BLG
1049.5 #81 9:52PM
I just go to flickr and type in mousewait. - Missshelly
690.3 #145 9:53PM
Night Pinky! Bedtime for me. Maybe someone could keep this bumped for a while so more peeps can read it. Seems not a lot of newer MWers aren't aware of our Flickr account. Have a great day, everyone! - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:26AM
thanks. did not know. now i know and I'll be a better mwer for it. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1758.2 #43 2:12PM
I'm sorry for not seeing this before D: My drawing was for a RAK...so does it belong? I will try using flickr from now on though >. - MayBie
1864.2 #40 2:13PM
RAKs should be posted in the lounge, MayBie :) - BLG
1049.5 #81 3:54PM
Your drawing is fine Maybie! - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 3:55PM
Okay just making sure :3 thank you~ - MayBie
1864.2 #40 4:03PM
my new fav is when people post pics and say "hi everyone..I'm new, I've been lurking and here's a pic I took 9 months ago at DL.." umm, OK. - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3262 4:19PM
I don't mind that so much as long as it's a good pic. I'm so far away that I just love DL pics. But real time pics are what I really hunger for - BLG
1049.5 #81 4:54PM
Great info. Mahalo BLG. I never even heard of Flickr before! - msdizmaui
518.6 #224 7:17PM
Parking lot!!! Totes cute!!! - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 7:18PM
Mahalo, Msdiz! No, I realize a lot of newer MWers haven't so figured it was time for a heads up. Lots of unnecessary pictures in the lounge slow it down for all of us - but if they're on Flickr, it has no effect on lounge speed. Also, it's fun that people can post video clips on there too! - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:20PM
Pictures arent necessary with every post. You can ask a question without a photo... - michelledork
658.3 #157 7:22PM
Good point, michelle. You can also talk about a movie without posting a pic of the cover - unless people need a visual for a special deal or something very obscure - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:24PM
Also before posting a pic scroll through a few pages and make sure it hasn't already been posted that day. - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 7:35PM
I'm in favor of doing a "RAK" land. That way people that want to participate can, and the lounge is not just a scroll-fest... - garrlusdland
52.2 #3697 7:36PM
Good point @mrsblue. And @garrlusdland - I personally like seeing the RAKs in the Hub because I think it's some nice pixie dust in here. But that's just me :) - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:39PM
BLG, I can see announcing a RAK in the lounge, I just don't like scrolling through all of the me too's. - garrlusdland
52.2 #3697 7:44PM
Well seeing as comments are condensed after 4, it doesn't bother me - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:48PM
Blast! I was just about to post a pic o a drawing of a closeup of my dog eating a meal next to a "hidden" Mickey. Now what will I do? Thanks, BLG, for the reminder. There was a certain user working my last nerve last night googling and posting.... - HiddenMickeys
216.4 #1395 8:29PM
Im stuck only being able to post to the lounge to get in, so until the bug gets fixed.. I have to post a pic to get in. - michelledork
658.3 #157 8:32PM
That's cool michelledork, just make sure they're pics of father Ned! - KelBelle
452.8 #271 8:36PM
Yeah the googling poster from last night was kinda crazy. - AlishaSkellington
175.2 #1918 8:37PM
I think lots of people were about to blow a head gasket with The Googling Poster last night. - BLG
1049.5 #81 11:36PM
And again - you don't need a pic to say goodbye or to illustrate what movie you're talking about (unless it's a special edition or rate or something) - BLG
1049.5 #81 12:23AM
Yes - and I have so few years, connielu (insert sarcasm emoji). Pinky - I'm really hoping for November of next year with my kids - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:40AM
Does this include "pictures" of quotes? - bluefairy
627.0 #173 10:27AM
bluefairy I hope so!!!! - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 10:29AM
This needs to stay at the top - Missshelly
690.3 #145 10:41AM
Does this include a random pic of a kid with the caption We are on our way to Disneyland! - DesperateMousewife
873.8 #102 10:43AM
DMW I am not sure. I think I read somewhere pics of kids are welcome. But IDK - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 10:44AM
Or then the caption with a random kid Only 114 days left! - DesperateMousewife
873.8 #102 10:46AM
Ya. DMW you have a point there. It would be cute if they were in front of a disney calender they were counting down on. But a pic everyday is a bit much and a pic with EVERY single post is nuts! The last two nights I couldn't even read anything. - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 10:49AM
Bumping again. I think there should be a definition of quality content. Something specific like, if it's just your heads and no scenery, post to Flickr. - Missshelly
690.3 #145 11:53AM
I have not quality nor content. Enter me please! - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 12:00PM
What about fingernails? The toy Story ones were cool and the NBC. But if you have seen one set of polka dot Minnie nails youchave seen em all! - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 4:35PM
omg I just rolled by another fingernail post! ugh! - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3262 5:44PM
BUTTER! You are the winner of my RAK! Please txt me so I know where to send the big fog with matching giant hootie :) - BLG
1049.5 #81 5:52PM
Don't forget the leach - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 5:54PM
Hey Uppity...Howz be you? Imma Grilling Goon with a Tri-Tip. - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 7:18PM
I just ate picked herring and boiled potatoes yummy - UppityEmpress
783.8 #2 7:21PM
Michael, your pics are fabulous! Always quality content. But if the FL sun starts to get to you and you post a picture of gum on the bottom of your shoe in the shape of a hidden mickey, your royal subjects might start an uprising. - VillainsFan
1213.1 #67 7:23PM
Lucky. I'm running a lo-grade fever and My thighs are pasty. - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 7:23PM
I thought I saw a hidden Mickey of sauerkraut on a guests plate yesterday but I didn't have my camera. You would all have loved it! - UppityEmpress
783.8 #2 7:24PM
After reading this thread, I've realized I'm not the only one who dislikes the fingernail posts! - Spoonful_O_Sugar
435.7 #283 7:37PM
Michael, you can always recreate the sauerkraut Mickey. That's what most of those posters do. Ugh - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:41PM
Maybe I'll use some sauerbraten and dumplings since butter like that dish so much - UppityEmpress
783.8 #2 7:43PM
Excellent choice. And don't forget a nice Munich Blonde glass ring Mickey to wash it down mit - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:48PM
Smacked? Why what did I do.... I hate being smacked! lol - Sam241
475.6 #251 7:50PM
You know why. I just wish more people would read this post. - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:16PM
Are Disney character cameos in Disney movies allowed? It's not Disneyland related but it's Disney related :( Just say the word and I'll stop haha. Just want to keep the peace in the lounge :( - macyDarling
18.1 #5249 8:26PM
lets keep this up top shall we - minnieMisty
214.9 #1417 8:31PM
You mean like the King Triton in Princess and the Frog, the posters for other movies in some scenes, that kind of thing? I believe MWers are interested in seeing this kind of thing; therefore, it adds value to the lounge. However, if it's just a shot of a movie playing on your tv or a picture of a DVD package for a readily available movie, I think not. - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:33PM
*Sticks tongue out at BLG* - Sam241
475.6 #251 8:34PM
Okay thanks for clarifying - macyDarling
18.1 #5249 8:52PM
you're welcome! Just some housekeeping to help MW stay awesome! :) - BLG
1049.5 #81 2:56AM
This should be a sticky somehow along with the acroymn post. - JediStitch
429.7 #290 3:06AM
we don't have stickies yet, but we kind of rely on each other to give it a bump from time to time. Easier to find if you save it in your favourites - BLG
1049.5 #81 4:11AM
I'm so sorry to have to ask this, but is there an actual MW group on Flickr or do you just add pictures to your own photostream and tag them with MW? I cannot figure out how to add pictures to MW's photostream and it's driving me batty. I'm really not this computer/internet illiterate! And I don't want to post pics in the Lounge when I know they don't belong. - JennDear
16.5 #5447 9:18AM
@ DisneyJennAz - I have this as my contacts on flickr http://www.flickr.com/people/disneylandiphone/
hopefully thats it. - luvdisney1978
46.9 #3810 9:21AM
@jenn: you just email them. I don't have the addy handy, but it's under the resources tab. - bluefairy
627.0 #173 9:29AM
JennAz...to email pics to Flickr, email to: near27face@photos.flickr.com - StephiePooh
572.6 #191 9:32AM
Ok thanks blue & stephiepooh! - JennDear
16.5 #5447 9:34AM
Heehee. That rhymed. Made me giggle. - RadioMaverick
526.7 #218 9:39AM
Can you do a public service announcement next about freaks posting (complaining) about guests assistance passes and how they should only be given out to those who are in a wheelchair or have a certain "look"? I guess only those who LOOK a certain way should be allowed to have one! ugh! - PinkyMouse
80.8 #3262 3:03PM
That's not what she is saying. Screen shots do not add quality content because anybody on here an look at the wait times. Just post saying wow guys check out the wait time for GRR. No pic needed. - Mrsblue
692.4 #143 7:29PM
Not at all. You must not read it correctly. Also, the picture in question wasn't a ark picture - BLG
1049.5 #81 7:29PM
May I also add that posting 10 or more pictures (or 32) in ONE DAY is a tad excessive and could be considered spamming according to Admins FAQs. It is just an inconsiderate of the lounges bandwidth. - Dahulagirl
1053.2 #80 7:42PM
I post about 7 -10 live disney pics every wednesday on my park night...i am so guilty but love it. - Plumiegirl
3306.9 #10 8:29PM
I read every comment..I think I've got it. I'll do my best to be a good MWer. ;) - JenAnneWho
300.7 #609 8:46PM
Another tip is that if you are posting several pics of similar things, for example, having gotten the same vinyl multiple times, rather than post separate pics, save them up and make a collage in one post using an app like Diptic. Also, pics should always have captions. - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:58PM
It's just a learning tool, that is all..... - Ms.Mouseketeer
1000.8 #88 8:04PM
My opinion is that such posts by OG's/vets/ or legacy members as they are called are simply making a statement with regards to the fact that every 2nd post is a picture of fingernails, toes, googled images, or someone's half eaten dinner. Usually someone will report all of them anyway. - Missshelly
690.3 #145 8:09PM
@ATPhoto, Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to butt hurt. - HotDiggityDogDaddy
1112.0 #74 8:12PM
How do we know I our posts have been reported? I didn't know about the flickr. I was just sharing some pics of the park I have but they weren't live (hence being in the Disneyland one not DL real time). I hope that's ok especially seeing nasty feet photos - cesium55
529.7 #215 10:28PM
Oops how do you know "if" our posts...? Not "I" - cesium55
529.7 #215 10:30PM
Thank you, Butter. Perhaps we could keep this bumped for a bit so that those mwers who haven't had a chance to read it can do so. - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:39AM
Tiem me kangaroo down sport.......and if we can remember to read the Rules and FAQs it would be groovy too. - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 8:40AM
Glad you found this!!! - MozPrincess
577.4 #187 8:40AM
Wish this could be sticky so it'd stay on page 1. - Mimmy
1405.4 #57 8:41AM
Put me koala back, jack - yes, Butter. It would be very helpful if new MWers would take the time to read the RULES-FAQs tab above. - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:42AM
Bump. Lounge is moving fast! - BLG
1049.5 #81 8:51AM
