After hearing so many people rave about the two-way radios for Disney I finally got a pair of the Motorola Talkabouts We're like little kids playing around with them and trying to figure it out. In the meantime, questions keep arising about things like etiquette, because we both hate how insensitive cellphone users can be.
1. I realize how useful they will be if you're on a line that's a lot longer then you expected and your family is waiting for you. Do you keep the radio's on while you're on the rides? They seem very loud and intrusive.
2. Have you had any problems with too many people being on the same channel? What do you do about that problem? That's not a problem in my little town, but I wonder what it's like if 1/2 of Disney has one?
3. How quickly did the batteries run out? I realize this is different for everyone, depending on the use, but I'm just looking for an average timeframe so I know how many batteries to take.
I know there's a lot I'm not thinking about, so any other tips would be wonderful. Thanks!!!
