I love it when people stop in front of me!
I like that umbrella trick...might have to try that out when I go...

Though I have to confess, I have had to take dd3 to the bathroom a couple of times and join Daddy and ds6 waiting in line. This was only in lines where it was easy to catch up (i.e Peter Pan) and the people around us saw us all in line together...and THEN my dd would announce, "I have to pee". People were sympathetic.
If she made this exclamation on a more difficult queue, like entering the Haunted Mansion....we all got out of line. or dh and ds went w/out us, and we rode later. I can't imagine pushing past a bunch of people to join my group just b/c I was the FP runner as the OP mentioned.
Actually, I AM the FP runner, and my group waits for me at the entrance to the ride while I grab them, then we all go in together. Wouldn't dream of doing it otherwise.

Actually, no, it wasn't that bad, just sharing for entertainment purposes only. When DW and I would encounter "them" we'd make a note of it and chuckle. The only group of these folks that came close to ruining a moment for us are the stand-in-front-of-those-people-facing-the-Castle people. We had a nice spot in front of CP for Wishes, had it for at least 45 minutes complete with a spot where I could set up my camera, then 10 minutes before teh fireworks...WHAMMO, 6 people from Brazil walked up and stood right in front of us. Didn't even acknowledge our presence. Turned and smiled at us once, that was it. Politely asking for them to move netted us nothing. (Wish I'd known the umbrella trick before... ) In the end, we still had a good view of Wishes, but I got no photos of it.DisneyDotty said:Wow! Sounds like all the rude/obnoxious people followed your same itinerary! I have to say that when we were there a month ago, I was fortunate to encounter very few of these "rule followers."
Oops...this was me, but I have a valid excuse. Thanks to following along with the UG/TGM in the mornings, I was eating lunch at 11:30 and there was one person in line in front of me, and he was paying when I walked up. I had no time to study...didn't stop the cashier from giving me a "look" when I asked my son if he wanted lemonade or chocolate milk... (There was nobody behind me, not sure what her rush was.)But I do need to add a rule--Don't bother checking the menu at a CS restaurant until you're at the cashier. Those 5-10 minutes waiting in line are better spent yelling at your kids or picking your nose rather than actually figuring out what you want to eat. (I seemed to follow these "rule followers" around WDW last month! DH had to remind me to count to ten!)
