I had one approach me and start asking about my camera, etc.. and then she pulled out her little "save this much money for signing away your soul" sheet, and I simply said. "No thanks, I'm a Disney Vacation Club member, one's enough for me" - Worked that time, and I'm sure it will work again, so next time, just tell them that.
I would HATE to have a job like they do, same with the camera people at the main gate, always being rejected by other park-goers who came to the point for rides and cheese-on-a-stick and not timeshares and $30 photos to add to your bill of more than $100 for food and Challenge Park.

^^ The camera people are different. All you have to do is let them take a pic of you, and take the ticket. If you don't want to buy it then don't. We had a billion people stop us at Disney for this.
Taking 2 seconds to say, "Cheese!" really isn't no big deal. Taking 10 minutes to say no a billion times to time share people is different.

With the photo people, when they ask if I'll stop for a photo, I say, "Sure!", whip out my camera, and take a photo of *them*. :)
Now what I need to do is come up with a way to hand them a card that tells where to go to see their photos...

It's probably going to look like the one I just saw going up at Dorney Park. It's the same company as the one being described at the Point.
It's not an awful structure, but I'm still not a fan of these in the parks. Perhaps this was the first of the corporate partnerships that the company plans?

I would rather them have their own stand then aimlessly wander around the park. That is what they were doing at Universal, and we had to just walk away. Because even after saying no 3 times, they still didn't seem to grasp the concept that we wern't interested.

The only thing that really frustrates me about them is when they store their wagons in front of my dock box underneath my stairs. Hopefully it won't happen again though. I guess having them in one fixed location will be nice though, as I can know to walk on the far side of the midway there. At least it will look decent...I guess.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
