Flight of Passenge problems

[Coaster Lover]

This is one issue that I think Disney needs to pick up Six Flags policy there is no line jumping allowed for any reason, no my kid had to use the restroom, my family is up there no excuse at all and they have a number you can tex with a description of line jumpers and they will pull them from line.

I'd almost rather Disney go the direction Universal has gone with Volcano Bay and Jimmy Fallon and have 100% virtual queues... The policy is okay at Six Flags where the only rides that get 1 hr or more lines are 48" and up rides (and generally kids of that age are pretty good at holding their bladder), but when a ride like Frozen gets a 90 minute line, no matter how well potty trained you think your 2-3 yr old is and even if you use the restroom RIGHT before getting in line, you can't say it's fair to make them go to the back of the line when the kid says they need to go 60 mins into the wait (unless you are going to start putting a restroom in the queue...)

So i could just text in that i saw you cut in line and they would come pull you out, even if you didnt?

It could but more often than not you will see several people texting so i's not just the word of one person and I have heard that once they get the text they review the security camera footage of the line, which is why it takes a minute to pull them

I always thought "queuing -up" was a British term (or countries associated with England)

Sorry I don't buy the kid excuse, mine has been going since she was 2 and has never had to leave the line, most of the kids pulling the bathroom thing are just doing it because they are board and it's something to do, but the point is if you have left the line you have left the line, and is it fair to everyone in line to allow line jumping just because you kid needs to go to the bathroom every hour?

I like the bathroom somewhere in line idea, especially if they know the lines will be long.
When we went on Thursday, the line time for RoP was around 180mins. That's a long time for young children. Maybe people should wait until wait time goes down.

Maybe the heavens will open up and wait times during the busiest time of year will magically evaporate.

Maybe I've been on Disney forums too long and we talk about the queue too much LOL

I witnessed what I believed to be a scam

They would be on the phone (so you couldn't really engage them) and they'd be saying, "Where are you? I don't see you. OK, I'm coming." Repeat that enough times and you'll be at the front of the line with little questioning.

Not sure what they did when they got to the front, but my guess is they just kind of faded into the background and got on without people noticing.

 

[Paul Milburn]

Sounds like what happened while I was in line.

In that scenario, if you have young children-
Get a FP, or skip if you don't.

Huh, I never thought of queue being British or Canadian. I use that all the time. Just curious what would others use instead?

As for the topic at hand, I don't get bent out of shape about one or two people getting ahead. I've had rude people try to cut through and inadvertently split up parties and that bugs me more (pushing through without care). One or two people wouldn't get me, but a group would.
I think a little compassion in life goes far. That said if you have a legit bladder/bowel problem there are things you can do to help with that. Check with disability services. That is if it is a true issue (and sometimes it is).

I also am of the "make your kid pee before" camp. We even went right after my son was potty trained and didn't have issues. We made him go.

Again though it doesn't bother me, but what I do and what I expect others to do aren't the same always.

Wait, can I get a pass for my kid having IBS?
That would be awesome!!lol.

On a serious note, these type of passes are going too far, at all parks. I hope that someone with bladder issues can not get one. Especially at WDW, you have FREE FP.

If there is a family of four, and the father and child leave and re-enter, I don't have a problem with that as when they re-join the line, your wait doesn't change. It is when one member is in line and three to five more of their party magically appear that potentially changes your wait, then I get annoyed.

If you are referring to the DAS pass, then nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, guests with a DAS, and their parties, enter through the FP queue, but only after waiting the posted time for the standby queue (minus 15 minutes). And they can't get a return time for another attraction until that one has been used. So please don't imply that everyone who qualifies for a DAS is simply walking up and getting into every ride via the FP queue. They're not

I do they left the line, you leave the line for any reason you should go to the back of the line little buttercup can hold it, they wont die and if they cant stop letting them drink 10 gallons before they get in line and no problem. Line cutting is my biggest complaint at Disney, and why people are on this thing about kids is beyond me they can hold it they are just bored.

When a two year old blows up their diaper, I have no issues letting the parent back. I'm not talking about the well potty trained 7 or 8 year old. In my opinion, they are not cutting the line. They are joining where they left off. I have also done my fair share of blocking line cutters. I respect your opinion, but I don't agree with it.

Sorry , in my first of all a 2 year old should not be in a diaper, but you can take care of it before hand, my daughter went at 2 . If you leave the line too bad so sad it is cutting period the end kids are a lame excuse people use to cut.

 

[ninjaprincesst]

My favorite response I have ever seen on line cutting was a little boy about 5 or 6 and this woman and her teenage son and toddler daughter were trying to cut the line, when confronted she said "Oh were not cutting were up there with my husband and daughter", and the little boy looks at her and says "no they are in line you are back here trying to cut".

 

[Paul Milburn]

These are great responses. I think DE needs to come up with a better system. It's not good optics for WDW to see people arguing/fighting due to people trying to cut in line.

 

[Paul Milburn]

DW not DE...sorry
