I can walk faster than you in the line so...

For the last year the wife and I have had passes for Sea-world and Busch. We are very ready to get back to Disney. But, one thing I do appreciate about these parks is they have signs in queues warning that line cutting can get you dismissed from the park. I know these signs don't solve the problem completely. But you get the feeling the park enforces the rule more so than Disney.

My husband would have flipped. I probably would have said something to the guy and to the nearest CM. I'd say once you enter the lines and have bars on either side of you...you are in line. Unless you have come to a complete stop there is no reason to physically touch anyone ahead of you to get past them. If, for some unknown reason you need to get by, speak up and say pardon me....common manners are becoming a thing of the past.

 

[Cubfan300]

Touch my wife or my child to get past me in line, you're going to hear about it. Loudly. With wild gestures.

 

[G00fyDad]

No. It is not okay. I would have said something. In fact I would have been hard pressed to not do something.

Was he meeting up with someone in line?.

Does that matter? If you are not with your group in line then you shouldn't be allowed to "catch up" to that group. Stay together, ride together. If not then you can get together later.

We experienced this in June on RNR also. A guy tried pushing by my 14 year old daughter luckily I was there and "persuaded" him not to. He gave me the line about meeting up with the rest of his group. I explained to him that just because they were rude to leave him he shouldn't be rude and break line. After a few hand gestures from him he turned around and left.

Good for you for standing your ground. Too many people allow this rude behavior so it has almost become the norm on every ride to have someone try to "catch up to their family". If we all stop this behavior when we see it then it may become a rare sight. Here's to wishing in one hand .....

The irony with trying to "catch up" in a single rider line is that you'll just be split up anyway.

 

[Californian Elitist]

He was by himself for sure.

Oh, hell no. He would have heard it from me. I would have kindly taken my spot back, then told him off.

This is why when I'm in the lines, walking through the queue and whatnot, I'm walking dead center with arms on the rails. That or my DGF and I walk side by side and heaven help the person that tries to get by me.

Last time I was in Disney, I had a "group" meet up with their "family" as we were just about to head back to see Mickey at the Town Sq. Theater. Yea, you can bet that they tried to "No habla Ingles card..." which I shot down quick, as they were fluent English speakers, lol.. CMs were there in seconds...

The funny part was the lady behind me who agreed with them, as she held the line while her husband kept running in and out, in and out, in and out of the queue... You could see others were happy that someone said something and I was shocked when the CMs let the cut be allowed, but oh well... My voice was heard.

Just a simple thought here... If this was a single rider line, were they, or he for that matter, planning on riding by themselves. If not why were any of them in the single rider line?

I will agree with a previous poster that we don't really know enough about the incident to really give an educated opinion, but, something isn't fitting right. Not saying they were wrong, but, I am unable to really picture what was happening there.

As for the "husband kept leaving the queue and then returning, I fail to see what the problem is with that. You have not lost an inch of ground under those circumstances. Now if he left the line and then came back with extra people, then there was a direct reaction to his actions, but, just him leaving and coming back, matters not one little bit. If he had stayed in line you would be exactly in the same spot. Nothing for you changes at all.
Groups are an entirely different story and any means possible to prevent that type of cutting is justified, in my opinion.

Yep, it matters to me. I see nothing wrong with grabbing a spot in line for your group. I do it all the time. Stay together, split up if needed, then meet back with the rest of your group, even in a line. I hope you're never in a theme park with me and whoever I'm with.

Again... single rider line. There are no reasons for groups in a single rider line. If lucky some of them might board together, but, it isn't very likely.

I'm sure that the feeling is mutual for most of us. We have to wait, you don't? Why is that?

I got the singe rider line comment. It still doesn't stop morons from using that lame excuse though.

Me neither. I'd hate to have to refuse your request to get passed me. As a matter of fact a woman was pulled from the line in Splash Mountain once because she was flipping out and cussing because I was not allowing her to cut past us to catch up with her husband. The CM even told her that she needed to stay together as a group.

Another woman flipped her **** once because we walked passed her in TSMM and she thought that no one should be allowed to enter the ride until her huband finished getting FP's. She stood behind us cussing while I laughed until a CM came up and asked us to come with them. The woman thought we were getting in trouble until we all got glasses and started to step through a side door to go to the front of the line. It was just coincidence that we got picked, but I couldn't help but tell her "Have fun. We're going to go ride now."

Good luck stopping me. I can handle my own.

Be careful! A lot of us do not approve of this sort of line behavior, and some people react harshly to this. You'll be getting dirty looks & stares from many whom your group cuts in order to catch back up with you. Good luck sleeping easy now!

No trouble sleeping and I couldn't care less about dirty looks. It may be a big deal in Florida, but it's no big deal where I'm from.

 

[JiminyandTink]

I can totally deal with someone budding in line... but as a rule, if you put your hands on my kid, I put my hands on you

 

[G00fyDad]

Right back at ya.

Who said I don't wait in lines?

You did. You said that you will catch up in line with your family. That is cutting in line.

The only reason why my group splits up is due to a bathroom break.

Why not make sure that everyone goes to the bathroom before you get in line? Although I understand this with younger kids. I have had this very thing happen to me on several occasions with both of my children. I had to take them out of line to the bathroom, but I didn't leave my wife and she didn't expect to save me a spot. I couldn't expect others to let me back in the line if I had to leave it. We just got in line at the end when we returned.

Same here or maybe we sent one person to get a drink while we wait. I see nothing wrong with that. We have never noticed anyone in line upset by that, nor do we get upset when others do it. (However, I would have been upset in the OP's case if someone actually touched my kid.)
