Chaos at Cinderella's Surprise

[GrammieMame]

We were right up front watching this wonderful show, with my 2 grandsons right at the rope. When it was over, Lilo & Stitch came down in the area in front of the rope, and the kids were very excited, along with all the other children along the rope (a few very small toddlers even went under the line to give a hug. The handler came up to the left of my kids and held her hands out and said "make a line; make a line". We moved over to where she was standing and got behind other children to make a line, but others immediately filled in the spot where my kids had been standing. The handler immediately went to another area and repeated "make a line". She looked like she was getting a little frantic, and people kept jumping around from place to place, trying to figure out what she wanted everyone to do. Things were getting pretty crazy, so we left, but the kids were disappointed. Previous times I have been there, the characters went down the line from left to right and did autographs and pictures with the kids in front, who then left and others filled their spots for the next go-round. It was an orderly system and everyone got their chance. I'd be interested in knowing what other folks experiences have been at this character event.

We had like the exact same experience when we were there the second week of March. As much as we love the Cinderella show, I ran into more rudeness trying to get our two kids (6&4) to see Donald and Daisy than I've ever seen at WDW. We tried to do as CM said and form a line. We should have been second -right after the family currently there. Next thing I knew there were like 20 people in front of us.
