Line Cutting

[newfanatic]

You didn't have a problem with it at the time, but now you do?

Not really, there is suppose to be some humor implied there. :lol: I would never let anything so petty wreck my vacation. I guess that the point is Disney feels so magical, most of us don't even notice these slight annoyances. I was just happy to be considered "polite" by this thread!

We all pay the same admission to get into the parks for our magical stay, and whether you are a FL resident who can visit anytime (even if only in 1 day increments), or cast member no one has the right to cut in line, save for those with special circumstances already discussed here.

I personally, would not ride another attraction or get a soda, etc. and then try to catch up with my party already waiting in line and I would expect the same coutesey from others. But at WDW, as in life, I uderstand that there are people who think they are the exception and I guess I have to deal with that.

Here's a can of worms similar to cutting, the single rider line when parents go with their kids and then say they can't be separated.

Agreed. I have a much tougher time dealing with it in the 'real world' though. I guess when not surrounded by happiness, it is harder to brush off. And I do think the CMs at WDW do a much better job of controlling lines than the other theme parks do.

Wow, I just read through this whole thing, and my brain now hurts...

I just felt like chiming into inDisney's earlier question, something about going on a ride your family didn't want to go on, so you meet them in line later at the ride they are waiting for. Here's what I do, I wait at the exit. Why should I have special privelages to jump in front of another line without a fastpass. And yes, I have done this, I met my girlfriend and her friend over at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster after I went to the Expedition Everest AP preview. They just got in line when I entered the park, the wait time was like 45 minutes. What did I do? I killed my time doing other things and met them at the exit.

Line jumping is line jumping, regardless of your reason. Many parks will remove people from their park if they catch them cutting. The only exception for me is small children, becuase they really don't know any better and their parents obviously aren't teaching them right. If you leave line to get something to eat for the rest of your family, sorry but you just left line. The whole family couldn't get something to eat before getting in line? Come on, it's called common courtesy. I've done that once, and I'll admit, I felt like a jerk while my friends left line to get food, so I'll never let my friends do it again, for the reason I stated above.

\end rant

My dad will fp the ride then come meet me in line.

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't Fastpass the ride together and then go get in line together?

On emh at epcot, my dad bought himself a cookie, while I was in line for soarin, came and found me, then I got out of line to go to the restroom, got back in and come and found him,

Again, curious as to why you wouldn't go to the restroom while your Dad was buying a cookie and then go get in line together for Soarin'?

Why should I when I could be in line closer to the ride in both instances, then sitting and waiting. Now, I dont know what YOU would do, but I already said what I would do.

Seriously, this is obviosly not going to go away. People will continue to do it, and if it frustrates as many people as it does, then either speak up or shut up. I mean, if you're not going to do anything about it, tell anybody about, and just let it get to you, then maybe you shouldnt go to a place where you know this will happen.

Oh, I think many have spoken up. Maybe you just don't want to hear them. I'm not sure how much clearer everyone can be on the subject. But, just in case you missed it... YOU are in the wrong. It doesn't matter how you try to rationalize your actions, they are still wrong.

But, as we all know, karma will catch up to you. Have a magical day! :wave:

Well, if I do this again in the future, which more than likely I will. I wont be thinking Im wrong, because Im not. And Im sure people will cut me as well, as they have on my last trip. In every line I stand in, theres a chance that it'll happen. What can I do about it, besides waht everyone here seems to have done/will do, make a comment after the person leaves. Besides that, nothing. Im not going to let it ruin my day, and I hope if I pass you in line in the future trying to get to my dad or whomever Im with at the moment, that it wont ruin yours. If it does, sorry, but it wont be my problem.

Have a magical day everyone, Im out.

What exactly is the purpose of a line if people will not wait in it? Like others said careful planning can eliminate most situations...if the wait time is 30+ mins. grab your drinks etc., before entering the line, use the restrooms prior to getting in line...remember to ask the kids or have them "try" sometimes thats enough to make them go. I have on more than one occasion had to make an emergency exit w/ a toddler, asked the CM in charge the closest location etc., and have either rejoined my husband & daughter or waited w/other child until they were done. I agree, if every family had one person join them..well those "1" add up. '

This is so well said! It cannot be stressed enough - how is it that some people think they are so "special" that they don't have to wait in line? And what are the odds that these are the same people that would have a fit if they were the ones being cut in front of (or wronged in some other way?) Why is it always about "ME"?!

You should do it that way because that's how someone who has respect for others would act. Which tells all a little bit about you and your dad, huh?

Very well said. People keep saying, "Well, why doesn't your party wait for you," or, "You should be with your party when you stand in line," well, that's not going to happen. Some people are not always with their parties because they might be doing something important and didn't want to hold up the rest of the group. So tell me, are the others suppose to wait, picking their noses, while I finish up something I have to do? I don't think so. When it's time to meat up, and they so happen to be in line for a ride, you bet I am going to catch-up with them. I am not going to be waiting outside a ride that I probably want to ride, just because I choose not to CATCH-UP with my group.

"Why is it always about "ME"?!"

b/c ive worked hard to raise the money to go to disney...its my vacation.

This happens so many times, people push in lines and my family gets split apart and someone in my family has to catch up to the rest, because they were pushed away from the group. Or, when my family (as a whole) starts walking to get into a line and there is a small gap between us, b/c we might just a TAD bit slower than the others, other families literally run in the line, splitting up our party and theirs as well!! Im not going to let that group go ahead of me b/c they cut infront of my family!

and oh yeah...at HM, outside when they say fill in all the dead space...that means all!! They tell you to fill in the space outside the canopy. I hate when they tell us to go there and then people say nasty remarks, we are doing what they told us to do!

Fine. Then get in line, AT THE END, and wait like everyone else to go on the ride. Meet up with your party when you all are done.

No one is saying you can't ride, we're just saying that you are no more special than any one else, and you have to wait your turn just like the rest of us.
I'm sure that most of us would also like to be doing "something better" than standing in line. That's why Fast Pass exists!

 

[goofyfan13]

And I can see why other people gave up a long time ago. You can try and justify what you do as much as you can, but it's still wrong regardless. Your going to have to try and find a way around me in line, cause I'm not moving.

I think the scenerio you are talking about is different than what these two posters are talking about with meeting up with their parents because they had something "really important to do" on their vacation at Disney World. If your family gets split up by a gap of like 3 people or so, that is totally understandable to play catch-up. What is not understandable (at least to the majority of people posting on this thread) is why certain people think they can create their own sort of Fastpass system-without the passes.

Right, just because My dad tries to meet me in line or vice versa, I have no respect for others. Maybe in that one instance, maybe not.

 

[allabtbrdway]

ok thank you...so the next time you want to speak out or not let someone through as some say, take the time to think about what the cirumstance might be. I have gotten pushed back so far that i have had to work my up passed a good 5 families to catch up to mine. I understand how this might look as if im cutting in line, but really im not!

I wasn't talking about your situation, I normally pay attention because I too have been split up in line and have had to find a way to meet up with people. I am normally aware of who is around me and if they got seperated I let them go. The people I cant stand are the ones who leave line to go get a snack, that is just rediculous.

Hmmmm....

:veryconfu Riiight...So, you aren't even sure yourself, then, if you're being rude or not? I'll give you a hint - if a CM catches you doing it (or a guest "tells" on you) you'll be asked to stop doing it, or go back to the end of the line, or possibly leave the park, depending on the situation. THAT might ruin your day. (so, yeah, the Mouse thinks it's rude, too.)

Have a magical day everyone, Im out.

it will not ruin my day but could possibly ruin yours cause I will do whatever I could to not let you pass me. If you insist on doing that I will call a CM and the chance are you'll be escorted. Have a not magical day. Yes, you are out. (out of the park)
