Line Cutting

[allabtbrdway]

we arent all rude and ignorant...just slow walkers taking everything in

even if we go four times a year...there is always something new to find!!

I wasn't talking about your situation, I normally pay attention because I too have been split up in line and have had to find a way to meet up with people. I am normally aware of who is around me and if they got seperated I let them go. The people I cant stand are the ones who leave line to go get a snack, that is just rediculous.

So, hot July day seventy five minute wait for Splash. 10 minutes in, the line isn't moving. Somebody says, "I'll go get ice creams while we wait and steps out. Ten minutes later, the line has moved very little and the guy comes to the corner, waits for his group to get to the corner, steps through the chain and rejoins his group, passing ice creams. That chaps you, does it? :lol:

 

[the-reason14]

it will not ruin my day but could possibly ruin yours cause I will do whatever I could to not let you pass me. If you insist on doing that I will call a CM and the chance are you'll be escorted. Have a not magical day. Yes, you are out. (out of the park)

And in all do respect, if I knew my party was ahead, I would do all I could to get to them. If a cm did approach me, more than likely I wont be out, and if after explaining the situation they called security, more than likely I still wont be out, because I still believe I didnt do anything wrong.

What's wrong with getting the drink or ice cream before getting in line?

But you did.

 

[the-reason14]

And I can see why other people gave up a long time ago. You can try and justify what you do as much as you can, but it's still wrong regardless. Your going to have to try and find a way around me in line, cause I'm not moving.

I agree, I shouldnt have to justify anything, whether Im here or at the parks.
No one knows the reason why I or anybody for that matter is trying to get ahead but the person who is doing it. Truthfully, I dont owe anybody an explanation, just or unjust.


See ya on the next trip Im out of this thread.

Fine. Then get in line, AT THE END, and wait like everyone else to go on the ride. Meet up with your party when you all are done.

No one is saying you can't ride, we're just saying that you are no more special than any one else, and you have to wait your turn just like the rest of us.
I'm sure that most of us would also like to be doing "something better" than standing in line. That's why Fast Pass exists!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Absolutely! I got to help open DAK, and I STILL find neat things to look at every time I'm there. No problems with taking it all in.

The problem comes when someone (and, as said before, it doesn't sound like you're guilty) send a few of their party ahead to hold a place in line at an attraction while the rest of the group (be it one, two, five or twelve others) does what ever they feel trumps being in line, i.e; bathroom, food break, shopping, other rides, Fast Passes, nap time, parade watching, etc. Then, the rest of the group goes to that attraction and squeezes past the rest of the guests who have been legitimatly waiting the entire time (foregoing all the other, "better" things they could have done) to get the the few folks in their party who have "held" the place for them. This is, at the very least, rude, and has the potential to get the entire party thrown out of the park (or off the property) if it becomes enough of a problem.
Some other people here are trying to rationalize their own reasons for doing it, but it's still wrong.

Jumping line is not right. Believe what you want to, but you ARE wrong. You can say that you aren't until you are blue in the face. Doesn't change the fact that you are wrong.

I dunno. Maybe its my first trip and I didn't know the queue was going to be outside fin 90 degree heat, the whole thing not moving very fast and I got thirsty, or saw some guy with ice creams. What's the big deal?

Or maybe I've been a hundred times and on each trip I've seen people meet up with their group at the turn. Just like they do every day and have done every day since 1971 (well, not at Splash, but certainly inside the Magic Kingdom).

We are all going to be in the line together for the next 45 minutes and one or two people who were in the line to begin with and get back in the line with a Mickey bar or after going to the john hurts others' ride experience how exactly?

Okay, maybe I misphrased my earlier statement.

For me at least, it depends on the circumstances. I still think any type of line jumping is wrong, but for the situations you mentioned, I'll let people in. Most of the time, if I see someone leave the line, I'll let them back in front of me, do I agree with it, no, but I'm not going to ruin both of our trips because two people decided to jump in front of me. Like I said I was a little harsh with my last statement, if theres a big group trying to jump in front I won't move, but if it's like 1-2 people, I generally let them by. I still think the better option is to get your snack before entering the line, but hey, like I said, I'm not going to cram my opinion down someones throat when on a trip.

It won't hurt my feeling to not let people pass me by (excpet small kids or they are feeling extreamly sorry). So I decide to not let those people who think they have every right to do that passing me. What's the big deal of not letting you pass?

 

[baloo_24]

I Does it bother anybody else when you're in the stand-by line for an attraction and are perhaps as far as half way through when one or two people work their way up and past you to get to the rest of their party?
Burns me up, when its a group of people or when its teens or adults who were just to lazy to wait in line!!! People who do it due to children or the elderly doesn't bother as much!!!!

I know this may offend some people on here, but we had so much trouble with the cheerleaders cutting in line last February that we are almost turned off from going in February again. It did not matter which ride we were on...8 cheerleaders would cut in line to join the other 10 that they apparently lost track of earlier. It sucked and we were all complaining. They said nothing and just looked at everyone like "whatever".

Basically, getting out of a long line to get a snack and rejoining your family and the line has not really moved does not bother me. Big groups cutting in line to get to the rest of their even bigger group highly irritates me.

When i rode Everest Sunday morning they were checking for line cutters at the entrance to the ride! If there were a group of teens the CM would ask a family behind them if they had been infront of them the whole time. Was interesting that they were doing this but they had the line for Everest backed up almost all the way to Kali since everest didnt open till like 9:15 it seemed. Would have been easy to cut in the confusion along with the FP line right next to the entrance.

We have the same problem with the tour groups in July. Two people with the flags get in line and wait the whole time. Then when they get to the front of the line they hold the flags high over their heads and literally 50 more people climb over the ropes to join them. The worst was at the Indy Stunt Show. I know, everyone gets into the show, but that's a hot steamy line in the middle of July. If I have to wait in it, so does everyone else. :lol: That's the bad thing about having a mother who is a teacher - you have to go to WDW when everyone else is on vacation.

My parents used to take me in July and I swore I would never go in July again because of the lines and heat. That line-cutting would put me over the edge with the heat and humidity. It also skews the sign that says 60 minute wait to oops, now 90 minutes because of the tour group that cut in line.

I have to admit that I had a bit of a breakdown in the Indy queue. We waited about half an hour and weren't sure if we were gonna make the show or not. They have those fans blowing water, which I think just makes you hotter. Then, the two tour group ladies hold up their flags and fifty kids start hopping the ropes...and they're all holding ice cream from Dinosaur Gertie's! My face went I couldn't take it. I said in this really loud voice "No way! There are only three of us and a thousand of you." And I dragged my parents in front of them. Not my proudest moment.

Tour Groups - AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH:fork:

Last July at MK we kept running into this tour group from hell with about 60 kids in it. All wearing the same color shirts and holding their flags.

We had fastpasses for Splash. About 4 or 5 of these tour group kids had fastpasses that were valid, the other 50 kids had fp's for 15 mins later. We go in with the 5 tour kids. 15 mins later here they come, excuse me, excuse me - I need to get with my group. About 15 or so managed to get by and then I had my own meltdown. I put my feet on the railings in order to block then and said ENOUGH!! YOU ALL CANNOT FIT ON THE SAME BOAT. PLUS YOU ALL ALL WEARING THE SAME SHIRTS - YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND EACH OTHER AT THE EXIT. Then other people behind us starting saying yea, get back in the back of the line.

So, BeachClubVillas - you are not alone in having a meltdown.

The nasty looks we got from the kids in front of us should have turned us to stone, but to bad. After that, we went clear to the other side of the park in an effort to avoid them.

Oh, I have never had to cut in line. When my daughter was little, every other ride I would take her to the bathroom regardless of whether she had to go or not. I did walk out of the ToT line once cause she had to go and was doing the dance.

I don't have a problem letting parents and kids back in cause of potty emergenices - it happens.

Who can blame you? This is the sort of thing that makes so many of us blow a gasket. It is the "I am more special than you so I don't have to follow the rules" attitude that makes me boil over. Even in a magical place like Disney. The one or two people who need to catch up after a potty break don't bother me in the same way because they don't have that attitude. They just don't stop to think. I guess I am just one of those apparently rare people who believes the rules were made for EVERYONE.:brick:
