In my 3 trips to DLP I regularly saw people smoking in the queues.
And if you don't pay attention, they will cut in front of you
Not to mention the infamous people inside fountains and gardens

Smoking is more engrained in French (and some European) culture so it isn't just the fault of DLP that it is quite normal to smoke anywhere/everywhere when outside.

I suppose it depends on how you personally class line cutting, if it is a part of a family catching up with the other part of their family then it will likely happen to you a couple of times a day (and I admit that does fit the definition of line cutting however doesn't both me too much). If it is entire groups of people just pushing past to get to the front I think that is quite unlikely however.
Both have happened to me at WDW so I don't think it is unique to Paris but probably more common.
No.
As has been said though, tobacco smoking in Europe is still as normal as walking around Epcot with a beer in hand is.

I've been noticing the smoke less and less in DLP.
Family unification line cutting remains prevalent. If people go to the toilet, they will split up, some go to the toilet, the others already go in line to hold their place.
Still not as bad as the throngs of people with front-of-line pass that enter through the handicapped entrance. Disney has never resolved this like they did in WDW.
A heartwarming sight. The sick, needy, autistic never have friends. Except at Disney, where each has eight inseparable ones.

I believe the show was called "The Wonderful World of Water Ski Show" that ran in the early 1970's.

I remember the attraction. I just thought that when they converted to the Princess M&G and renovated Pooh, they ate into the former attraction, shrinking it's footprint within the building.

This is a strange question but did you work at Disaster! The replacement is worse than Disaster and a Failure to Earthquake!Yes! And the beach is still there
If anything the M&G takes less space than SWSA did. It’s a self contained facility within the original rides footprint.

Soooooo........you're saying...work with me.......that if there were plans to build a Moana attraction in the former SWSA footprint, it could be done by the 50th anniversary. (I just watched your "Wonders of Life" tribute video yesterday on Youtube. Well done as always!)
Thank you.
The meet and greet was always planned to be easily removal for another attraction, not that there are currently plans for this.
My experience was those who chose to partake cared not one iota if they lit up a cigarette or vaped anywhere in the parks. Even saw some do it in a queue, but that was a rare occurance.
There are signs that state smoking is prohibited everywhere but in designated areas. But then again, when seemingly every trash can has an ash tray on the top...
Anyway, back on topic... Ummm... what's this thread about again?

Moana in Fantasyland? Liberty Square would make more sense.
Now Tangled or Sleeping Beauty or Brave is a different story.

Liberty Square? For Moana? A Polynesian princess?

I was being ironic. Or facetious. Or something.

I witnessed nothing more egregious in terms of guest behavior at DLP than I did at Uni Hollywood. Certainly had more people bump us in queue at the latter than the former. Didn't really notice the smoking either. Maybe I was too hopped up on the dust from being at arguably Disney's most beautiful park to notice, but I do tend to notice the smaller things.
This thread is really off the rails anyway so I might as well put my vote in for a Moana ride in the SWSA building.

There would be an uprising in the magical kingdom. Especially with the more appropriate tropical themed land a short stroll away.

Yes, Disaster! was probably the most fun job I ever had [and the closest group of employees I've ever known]. And you won't get any argument from me on its completely incoherent, dissapointing replacement.
