The exception is really the flash.  See, picture taking (either still or
video) is acceptable, provided it's not going to be used for commercial
purposes.  The reason flash photography is not allowed is simply due to
the fact that it's disruptive and distracting to the other guests.

Do we need a reason?  Though we've been to the Luau, I guess we could go back
again.  Until we hit every place, we're reluctant to repeat anything that
wasn't high on our list of favorites.  We missed Tony's last time out, so
that will be on our itinery of things to do!  What we like are the quiet
places like around Lake Echo over at Disney-MGM Studios there are tables
under umbrellas with chairs that are 'cordoned-off' by bushes.  Hardly anyone
ever sits there, so we do and take a breather when it gets hot or we get
tired. <g>
