Why is the throwaway room wrong? You're paying for it!
I agree also. No line cutting.
I once had a couple of women in front of me while I was standing waiting to get on Buzz Lightyear with my young child. Two men showed up and stepped right in front of us to join the two women. I said something about it and they were rude back to me. They didn't care - they were a self serving group.
Thank you for your perspective. That 'waiting until your entire party is assembled and enter the line together' can in fact mean that we don't get to meet and greet, which I think is unfortunate. It's less about beating out one of two families and more about not missing the chance to meet Anna and Elsa while at the Magic Kingdom as these events are not running all day like a ride. I think it's possible these expectations also lead to the way people now 'game the system' as outlined above, trying to secure their 'must do's' by hook or by crook.
I can't say I agree, though I am appreciative of your response!
[QUOTE="NJMomto2, post: 53981598, member: 55584Thanks. I respect everyone's opinions regardless. I never say anything to people if I perceive something to be a choice that I would not make.
I teach my kids how I would choose to act/react and what I feel are fair actions. It is the best I can do. Other than that, we ignore others actions, smile, and say good afternoon etc.
Ethical issues on my last trip in May, DVC member stayed at Poly.
Sign says, "no alcohol in hot tub." A party of 5 adults in hot tub with beer and mixed drinks holding space to watch fire works from MK, I would guess this was not the first drink this party had. Hot tub is over capacity by at least 6 people. Disney CM comes by and does not say or do anything.

There is no reason you have to miss a meet and greet if you time it right. Work in enough time for a potty break say 15 minutes or so before the meet and greet starts and you will be there on time without potty issues. If the little one is holding everyone up pick them up and move faster. Not that I would have issue if others join their family unless the lines are thin and hard to get to where the other part of your party is so others are shoved aside to get past.
We have 8 people going on our trip next month. I have booked 2 rooms with 4 people in each but we will have 5 in one room and 3 in the other. Is it unethical for us to do that?Taking a cue from another thread, I thought that I would pose some Disney-related ethical questions. Feel free to add your own. But please be respectful of one another's opinions.
Is it ethical to:
- Have more people in the room than what Disney allows? What if it's a DVC villa that allows more people for DVC members but not for people staying on cash?

- If you have the extra room (for ex 1 adult and 2 kids traveling) adding a friend who wants to go the following year to your room reservation and book a bounce back for them, even though technically they are not really there.....?
- Have your family check in on the day your friend checks out... and have your friend upgrade their kids tickets and have your kids can use their tickets and bands... after all, kids are not finger printed, correct?
Wasn't it rude to say something to them in the first place?
Not necessarily.
I wouldn't do any of those. I'm a rule-follower, and if a rule is there I assume it's there for a reason.
When my kids were little, if one had to go the restroom while we were in line I would get out of line and take them while my DH rode with the other kids. We'd just miss that ride.
What age is the cut-off for "potty forgiveness"? Is it okay for a parent and 4-year-old? What if the child is 8? What if it's a teenager leaving the line by himself and then wanting to rejoin his friends? Is it okay if you're a pregnant woman but not for a grown man?
Again, we're talking situational ethics. Is it always okay to leave the line and then be able to rejoin your party, regardless of the age or circumstance? Or is only okay for some people?
