What are the chances of twenty members of a tour group that all need a GAC and none of the whole tour group or tour operators having never heard of such a thing?

It is ageism. All the people here who are adults know the meaning of line cutting and what is acceptable behavior.
All the children/teenagers here think that line cutting is perfectly acceptable.
NOW...the line has been drawn....where do you stand?

Im commenting not on this issue, on issues in general. There seems to be a clear distaste for anything that "teenagers" do. I myself am not one, but I still choose to defend the demographic, because some ruin it for others. I believe that for many on this site they feel teenagers in general, or the younger generation ruin things, which isnt true.
Ive stated my opinion, its either a yay or nay. If one person can do it, like a family of 4, where dad waits, and the kids and mom use the bathroom, then a tour group or any group can do it for that matter. But if the circumstances are that someone has to get out of the line and come back in thats understandable and not considered "line jumping". But again its either its allowed or its not. I see no difference.

The main issue is that officially Disney has NO stance on line cutting.
Other parks have official policies that will get you booted out of the park.
Disney is afraid to take a stance on the chance that they may offend some self entitled teenager.
(yes I had to throw that last word in there for your benefit Innoventions :lol::wave

Its a belief I have, and have had. Not just in disney but in the world in general. Those that are younger are seen not to have as much knowledge as those that are older. When in general this is not always the case. So there is a distaste for the younger generation. Its always been there. Just look at the movie "The Graduate", im sure you've heard of it

On the teenager side because I am one. And your right we won't know the true definition about line cutting in Disney unless it is posted somewhere on the rides.

Couldn't have said it better myself. And yes Mike Nichols is a genius for playing with the idea of ageism in the film.
I also see a lot of anti-tour groupism which isn't even a word but hey.

I don't have a distaste for those younger than I. I just remember what it was like. Don't forget those older than you were once your age.
I, too, thought that I knew it all when I was younger, but the older you get the more you realize how much you never knew.

True.
How about we settle this like this: we won't know the true definition on line jumping in Disney until Disney says something about it.
End of it. Now let us all eat, drink, and be merry. Who's with me?

The "ageism" and the "prejudice" issues were cards played by the 2 trying to make excuses for rude behavior. It matters not what my age is. It boils down to upbringing. If I was that self-absorbed to not wait my turn for anything my folks would have beat my behind, made me apologize, and made sure I learned my lesson. Again, age matters not. The people on these boards being accused of "ageism" wouldn't have a bit of problem from my teen/pre-teen. In fact, they'd likely enjoy their company. Why? Because I raised them to be polite, conscientious, caring young gentlemen. I don't have to point that out to them either. They see the rude people of any age or nationality & comment to me why those people are messed up.
Argue all you like. Have a good time. Like I said, if you're ever in line behind me with your friends in front of me you'll remain behind me and we'll have a lovely conversation about it then. Perhaps you'll learn a little lesson....like the Golden Rule....

No.
If you don't like someone jumping in front of you, you are totally right to stop them. And for the record, I've seen CM's send people back many, many times for doing that "I'm meeting my friends up there" bit.
It's different if its a wife who's bringing her kid from the bathroom to meet the husband at the front of the line than 10 people snaking there way through the line to get with their "friends" at the front. I don't see what's wrong with not letting them pass.
If they and their friends wanted to ride together (because of course all 10 people can ride together) they should have planned to meet up and got in line with each other to begin with. I think its more "smart" to send their azz's back to the end of the line when they pull that.
And I don't see this as aiming towards Brazilian tour groups, when its basically all nationalities of people who do this. Stop with the tender feelings. I didn't see the OP aim at any specific "group."
You don't think its a big deal, let them pass. The people in front of you who think its a big deal, shouldn't. There, now its solved
