I was one of the volunteers one year. It was an amazing experience and eye opening too.

Again with the different assertions than what was said.
The comment retorted was "I’ve been to DL hundreds of times and WDW probably 50 and can only think of a handful of times people have passed me to “rejoin” their party. Most trips it doesn’t even happen once in the entire vacation."
Nothing to do with was it legitimate or abuse or whatever.. simply a statement that people moving through the line wasn't frequent. And then going onto dismiss the entire topic as 'rare'.
Because your fantastic four stretch of an example just shows your complete disregard of probability in an attempt to create some irrational example to justify your predisposition.

We have a former CM telling us that this isn't Disney's policy for handling guest requests to leave and reenter the queue. You may prefer that people lose their spot (and goodness knows why, unless you have miraculously never experienced the urge to use the toilet when you didn't think you'd have to), but it seems that Disney doesn't agree with you.

Because the last thing they want/need is someone who’s been holding their pee for thirty minutes getting on a ride vehicle, especially a bumpy one like Everest, because they don’t want to lose their place in line lol.

I'd be curious to hear an explanation from the three or four posters saying that people shouldn't be able to reenter queues why they feel this way. What is gained by preventing someone who is already in front of you from briefly leaving the line before coming back to take their spot again? Put differently, what do you (or others) have to lose by affording someone this courtesy?

I worked at Universal (Hollywood) for a period of time, and someone peed in a water bottle once.
And theme park employees are really going to tell guests that they can’t leave the line to use the bathroom or do something else? Okay.

When we were at DL Paris we saw a dad lift his son (probably 5 or so) over the fence at Phantom Manor so he could go pee on a tree in the woods. The funniest thing is he did the little kid thing where he pulled his pants down to his ankles and mooned the entire queue while he did it, then ran back smiling like it was an everyday occurrence. It was funny to us because it was a little kid but I hate to envision a world where adults are forced to do the same so they don’t lose their spot after waiting an hour.

Disney films on Universal’s backlot all the time.
I had a much better time working at Universal. I was never stressed there. Meanwhile, Disney was hell. Never again.

People leaving the line to use the bathroom and then returning is not a problem at WDW. It is only a problem on this thread. People in real life are fine with it.
Line jumping/place holding is a problem at WDW. We see it happen at least once every trip but don’t stress about it based on the realization that some people are just entitled jerks.

Such people do exist in real life: one member of this forum even announced in another thread that he point-blank refuses to let anyone rejoin the queue after a trip to the loo unless they have a small child with them. Mercifully, however, the vast majority of people are as you characterise them and quite reasonable in this regard. Still, this thread has convinced me to enlist the help of a CM should I ever find myself needing to go.
Hmmm... I didn't see that rule. I did see the following:
"Please show common courtesy to fellow Guests and our Cast Members by not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior, jumping lines or saving places in lines for others. For your safety and the safety of others, please refrain from running except in designated areas."
It really is that simple. But if you want to make things up because it makes you feel better about what you enjoy doing that's your business.

This entire thread is here because in real life at Disney people were not fine with it and decided to violently attack someone for it, lol

One family was violently opposed to it.
The other 20 million people that went last year didn’t care enough to do anything but maybe grumble about it. On a scale of 1 to 100 for Disney problems this one probably rates sigle digits with 99.9% of the guests.

I don’t know where you’re looking, but Disney likely hasn’t published every rule they’ve created for their CMs, and even if they did, it still wouldn’t 100% reflect reality. I previously worked at Disneyland. Temporarily leaving the line and later rejoining your party (as long as they haven’t boarded the respective vehicle) is very much allowed.
What you highlighted isn’t what we’re describing anyway, so you’ve helped prove some of us right.
You guys and gals keep mentioning the “simplicity” of this predicament, yet you’re not understanding how it works, which is ironic.

I don’t know what happened there except what was reported but if a single person leaves the line to use the bathroom or a parent takes a young child and then returns, no one cares. It helps if the person leaving and re-entering politely explains the situation.
Yes, when there are tens of thousands of people in the parks some people will overreact and do crazy things. But it’s not the norm.
