I refuse to let people like that past me. If they cannot be bothered to stay with their crew then that is on them. Go to the bathroom first. I'd consider the "bathroom" excuse if the person had a small child in tow because kids are kids. Short of that, they are not getting past me.
I think that’s a little extreme. What if someone in the queue before you really did have to go to the toilet and left their party do so? Should they be prevented from rejoining their group just because they had to answer a call of nature?

Oh we have an internet tough guy here!!

How about you let the employees handle bad guest behavior before you end up in the hospital?
The thing is the staff won't deal with it. If someone lies and says they had to go to the restroom, the staff will just let them through.

I dont stop anyone, but it must annoy everyone in the queue and it just shouldn't be done.

I'm not sure how anyone can condone it really.

The 7am BG drop for Rat was open for 12 seconds today, while yesterday was only open for 8 seconds.

The 1pm drop is even open for much longer, judging from the past couple days.

I track it all here everyday in the Rat VQ thread:
7am: 8.84 secs
1pm: 451.98 secs, or ~8 mins

BG 150 is the last BG for the day. This is 11 more than yesterday.

She should go to the toilet BEFORE queuing for a ride.

Also Avatar has toilets in the queue.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY should be jumping any queu for any reason. End of.

If you want a coffee...get one BEFORE queuing. You want the toilet..go BEFORE queuing.

What I've noticed happening most is that 1 member of the party will queue...the rest grab good, coffee...maybe go on another ride...chill out.. then when the person in the queue gets so far they text the rest and the rest then push through the queue.

It winds me right up.....cos if everyone did that there would be carnage. Nobodybis above queuing other than disabled.

If you need to go the toilet in the queue. Tough luck...either hold on or exit the queue and start again once you've been.

A single person, I have no issue with. More than one? No way.
I had about 10 single people push passed while in Hagrids....im sorry, there is simply no excuse for pushing through a queue to get to your party. If you want to ride with your party then queue with them...dont let 1 stand in line then join them at the front after relaxing and having a coffee.

Yes. If they cannot go to the bathroom before getting in line then that is their problem. I despise line cutters and 99% of the people using that pathetic excuse are lying. As for the 1% that really did have to go... I have been that 1% after failing to go to the bathroom before a long ride line and guess what I did? I waited for my family after the ride. I did not squeeze past people after coming back from the bathroom.

I know many of you do not like my position on this. I do not care. I will refuse to allow someone past me unless, as I have stated, they have a small child with them and it was a bathroom issue. That is it. If you want to let these people through then that is on you.

The ONLY time I don't mind is if that person walked back from the queue and past us to get to the exit and that very same person pushes past once they've been in the restroom.....simply having 1 member of your party queue while you go about your business, then expect to queue jump, is plain wrong. .end of.

I'm with you all the way 100%...there is NO EXCUSE to queue jump. Coming out of the queue and going back to the same spot is fine...but nobody should let thousands of people queue them push past them when the rest of their party is at the front.

I have never experienced that one but yeah, I can agree with that one if it happened to me. I'd probably let that one in.

I was reading another blog that mentioned WDW is likely to make some changes to Genie+/ILL before the Christmas rush............

I absolutely despise Genie+/ILL, but I also understand that Genie+ is here to stay...........But there could def be some improvements made........To me, Genie+ has some fatal flaws that I would like to see changed

What are the chances that some of these changes are implemented? What are the +/- to making each of these changes?

1) eliminate having to get up pre 7am EVERY day
2) Stop having to have to be on your phone all day
3) Pick return times to avoid park hopping/dining overlaps
4) ability to pre book in some way/shape/form
5) change a Genie+ selection without having to cancel first
6) limit availability to avoid 30+ minute ILL lines

ETA:
7) Add different "drops" throughout the day so there is inventory available in the afternoon

I’m sure the changes will include raising the price on everything.

One change I could see them making would be to only allow selections once in the park. Perhaps the paid ILL ones could be excluded, but it seems they are shooting themselves in the foot availability and frustration-wise by allowing people to book starting at 7 AM.

Your bladders are obviously much more robust than mine. Thankfully, I’ve never been faced with having to leave and reenter a queue, but it’s certainly happened to me in other contexts that I’ve used the loo and had to go again barely half an hour later. I’m not going to punish others for finding themselves in that position.

We've only had it happen once...a 2-hour line (that was three in real life) for Mine Train. The boys wanted to ride, and hubby agreed to wait with them while I went to the Emporium and to relax in Frontierland for a while. I headed back to Mine Train just about 2 hours after I'd left, and they were still in line and hubby had to go something awful, so I joined the boys while he went to the loo (love that word!), and he re-took his position in line with the boys upon returning while I left the queue to wait for them all.

Well, if some here had their way, your husband would have had no choice but to wet himself or leave the queue entirely.

So basically go back to FP+.....which for me would be perfect.

Id actually be totally fine in paying $25 a day for the old FP+ system.

Ditch the 7am garbage..ditch the waiting till the park open for Genie LL..ditch only being able to book one G+ . Ditch paying for LL+..Ditch not having to cancel before booking a G+...ditch having to ha e your face in your phone all day.

From general consensus your situation is perfectly acceptable...everyone can see you walking out the line and will know you when you walk back through the queue...everyone will be fine with that. The problem is people sending ONE person from their group to queue for 2 hours..then when they are 15 minutes away from the front they text their friends to come and join them.
