Thank you. It's not like we split up to get on different rides or go eat.
What if the urge comes suddenly?
That's fine that you leave the line, but I wouldn't do that. Good for you, though.

I just don't see what all the fuss is when one person leaves to go potty or whatever and gets back in line with their family lol. I don't consider that cutting or rude at all. Now obvious cutting and bringing additional people back with you is a different story...

This thread remin me of my families story las year at DHS...
We were walking I'm Pixar Place and there was a huge bottle neck occurring. We noticed 2 families ahead of us,right in front of them was a family of 5 stopped dead center of the walkway looking over there map! My wife proceeded to shout, "u need to move, your blocking the walkway and there is a scooter right behind u your blocking!"
They move and we get to the FP entrance to TSMM probably 20 seconds later. As we r scanning our bands, my wife recieves a tap on the shoulder. She turns around as did I and the family's "mom" that was with the scooter lady starts screaming at my wife.
"How dare u yell at my mother for being disabled and using a scooter!!!" And she started swearing and such and going on...
My wife starts yelling back at her, "lady we were not yelling at u, we were yelling at the family in front of u blocking the walkway looking at their map, I would never."
"No I heard what u said about my mother, you are a disgusting..."
My wife stops her immediately. "You do NOT want to get in an agruement with me lady!"
I chimed in at that point. "U obviously mistook what she said we would never..."
"No I heard what u said..."
By then I had it with her and so did my wife. My wife is not one to swear in front of our kids but she shouted back, "%itch u need to get ur ears checked, now back off before u regret it!" My wife scanned her band and we walked into the ride! It was one of the funniest moments we had encountered on our trip and we still laugh about it to this day. We were only trying to help! LOL

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!
Now real cutting? Oh, no, I don't think so. This group of pre-teen girls cut us once and we almost pulled their hair lol.

I've become an expert in my 33 years of making a "bump" look genuinely like an accident if the person in front of me has their nose in their phone and isn't paying attention. If you say "sorry" right away the person doesn't think it is intentional, and yet they still realize "I'd better keep my eye on the line I'm holding it up". Everybody wins that way and no one gets offended. But it is an art to be able to pull that off. This guy in the original post didn't.

Then (no offense here) you're not very observant. Every time I see people doing this all the way up to us where they get stopped people are shooting them dirty looks and/or muttering something about it. They don't get past me, and the people that were behind us get even more upset because that is right where that person gets in line. There has only been 2 times someone has gotten passed me. One was when two young girls ducked under the bars at TSMM and tried going through the line that way when I stopped them. A CM saw this and removed them. The other was at PoTC where they have the rope lines out front by the main door. Two women got stopped by me and they started stepping over the ropes going for the door. Everyone was yelling at them, but they pretended they couldn't understand English. The CM there just turned away and acted like he saw nothing.

I wish you would have expressed it that way originally. If you had I would not have been in disagreement with you. You made it sound like you just did that for no reason other then it suited you. I totally agree with the thought that there is absolutely no reason for a family to not accept one person in, especially if they had already been there and left for a bathroom emergency or any other thing actually. As long as they have started out in the queue then nothing is altered for those behind. Now if one person gets in the queue and then a number of others join up, then you did alter the flow of the queue and that shouldn't happen. If your group isn't ready to go in, then don't go in. It's not whether or not one thinks it is justified, it is just plan common courtesy and queue line procedure.

How do you prove that they did leave the line and are not just catching up with their group? You can't. Hate me if you want, but I still won't allow them through.

We were at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and teenagers jumped the ropes. The guy running the Loch Ness Monster told them they needed to go back to the beginning of the queue. At 1st they ignored him, but he wasn't going to tolerate it! Line jumping is a no-no at any park, and it should be enforced!

If there is some schmuck making a mad dash by me to get in the front....
That's the very reason that I just let them go through and not let it bother me.

I would have been far more upset my him putting his hands on my kid rather than cutting me. If he's that hard up to get on the attraction let him go. However, I would have broken his fingers for touching my kid.

If it's just one person or one person with one child the odds heavily favor they were already in line. Why raise your blood pressure over something so minor and possibly ruin a family's experience because the kid had to go to the bathroom during. 90 minute wait in line?

I'm currently at WDW. The line cutting has been horrible. Two days ago a woman line jumped me in line for a pretzel. Just acted like I wasn't even there. Then some Brazillians tried to do it in line for Pooh. I've only been here four days and it's been happening a lot
Had I been your daughter (I'm a year older than her) I would have turned around right then and told him to remove his hand. I might have removed it for him to. Then threatened to call security. Had my dad been there...oh my.

I don't hate you for it, in fact I couldn't really care less. If anyone thinks that I am going to waste my whole vacation worried about one or two people getting ahead of me in a line, they need to think again.
On the list of possible human problems it is on the very bottom, right next to cleaning the toilet. I have always believed, for myself and to teach my children that there are people out there that don't care one little squat about other people. It is always me, me, me! And it always will be. I place a certain standard on how I live my life and what I can do that would make me feel good about myself. So, I would never cut in front of anyone in line, intentionally and I wouldn't waste one minute of my time worrying about the behavior of others.
If Disney doesn't care enough to enforce their own rules then I have no reason to worry myself about the actions of others, within reason. I never said that I would let a large group by me without considerable protest, but, since, as you say, I cannot prove that an individual wasn't there already, I am not going to give even a minor amount of concern if an individual goes ahead of me. I may not approve, but, I am certainly not going to get all in someones face about it. Chances are that if it is one individual or an adult and child, that they are just catching up to their party. With numbers like that I am not going to get on the ride even one second later then I would have if I hadn't let them go by because they will probably be riding together. Either way, the same number of ride vehicles will be used and I will have gained nothing by making a big deal out of it.
This whole thread started out by the woman involved saying that an adult pushed her daughter aside and stated that they were going to slow. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. Irregardless of that fact, he pushed and made contact with another person, didn't ask and just pushed his way through. Now something like that needs to be reported because it is going to happen again. And if anyone in Disney is listening, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TYPE GUEST.
If we are going to get all upset about that, why not get violent about the biggest tolerated line cutter in all of Disney, the famous Fastpass.

It's obvious when it's just one person (like a dad) who is catching up with mom and their children is not cutting compared to a group of teenagers cutting in. I agree, why let something like that bother you?
