Your lack of respect for those providing security and safety to you is sad. It doesn't matter the shape of the badge. Hope you never run into a situation where you need the help of these "Mickey Mouse cops". Seems that you are the one with the issue here.
Disney Security is there solely for the purposes of administering and maintaining the security protocols Disney has defined for their private property, not to make you 'comfortable'. In a world where every guest seems to feel they are entitled to get everything exactly how they want it, yes they get frustrated. The best way to defeat a security system is to create confusion and having one consistent process that applies to everyone (whether they like it or not) reduces the risk of that.
But insisting on this would adversely affect efficiency and increase the wait time for everyone. Unless the majority of people feel the way you do—and there’s no evidence of that in this thread—there is no reason for Disney to follow some idealistic notion of family unity just because it’s nice in principle.
I can’t be sure—none of us can without actual data—but if significant numbers of people had an issue with it, I would think that we would be seeing arguments at security on a routine basis. In none of my visits have I ever seen anyone react badly to being momentarily separated from their group. Nor has any such incident been reported in this thread, even by those opposed to Disney’s current approach.
So you agree it would be ideal for a group not to be split up?
Or maybe Disney already thought of that when adopting the system!
I edited my language a little as you were replying. Here’s my current wording, with the most important sentences bolded:
It’s certainly not unworkable to allow groups to stay together.
It’s unworkable—or at least detrimental to the greater good—if it causes longer waits for everyone else. As others have said, groups that insist on staying together can probably request to do so.
Well there would be multiple options, but with the proper set up and implementation I think it would be a more welcoming experience for all with no significant delays to anyone.
Such as?
Lol no it isn't.
There are some very stupid and petty things people complain about and this would be near the top of the list.
I find it very interesting how bothered you are that I brought this issue up. For something “stupid and petty” you’ve devoted alot of time to this thread “laughing” at almost ever one of my posts.
I don’t agree with your stance in this thread, but I agree that people shouldn’t be laughing snidely at others’ posts. It’s uncalled for, not to mention against forum rules.
Not bothered by this at all. I find it ludicrous that someone is so bothered by the fact that they are trying to get people through security as quickly and efficiently as possible that they revive a thread from over two years ago. I do find it humorous thus the laughing emoji that seems to bother you. In all honesty I guess something does bother me is your bashing of the people providing safety and security at park entrances. I hope you never are in a situation where you need these Mickey Mouse cops.
It’s against forum rules, and for good reason. One of the things I really like about this forum is that the discussions it hosts remain, for the most part, civil, and that’s in large part because the moderators actually care about enforcing the rules we all sign up to when we join. @TrainsOfDisney has said almost nothing in this thread I agree with, and I’ve made that very clear, but he’s never responded to me with rudeness, and nor does he have to in order to get his point across.
