Cutting in line..

[alecshawn]

Some people don't have the privilege of coming back.

Then they need to plan and utilize fast pass...no matter what..there is never a wait of more than oh jeez...30 minutes TOPS for any ride....IF you plan accordingly.
If i knew my one and only trip to WDW was upcoming....id plan it down to bathroom visits...we would make every minute count.

It's against the rules of basic civil, polite human interaction. It's the glue that holds us all together.

Thats kinda deep for line cut. I mean, its not really a big deal and it hardly ever happens.
I think the "victims" cause more of a stir than the purps here. But iot just hardly ever happens.

That is not really true I have seen it happen several times in WDW with both individuals and large groups. It does not really bother us if they are polite about it and say excuse me because usually they are just trying to catch up with their family or group. They only time I had a problem was with a BTG and about 15 were trying to get through because they had stopped for snacks at the cart right outside the ride why the rest of their group got in line which I thought was rude. so I just would not let them pass plus they weren’t saying excuse me or pardon me they just were trying to barrel through . It did not work for them that time and there was no confrontation we just did not move out of their way.

In Epcot for Spceship Earth.

they had the ropes all connected so to enter the line, you actually had to go to the side of Spaceship Earth. It wasn't crowded, but we went to where the line started.

As we were walking down the hill to the front of the normal line start. 2 kids (8 and 10) crawl under the rope in front of us, where the line then stops. My wife says, let it go.

Then, their mom crawls under the rope to join them. I saw <out loud> "well at least we know where the line cutting is being taught"....she just looks at me kind of funny.

Next the dad shows up.....again i say <out loud> 'ofcourse the dad has to be a line cutter too"

The mom has the nearve to tell me I am rude.

Ruined the entire ride for me. They were oblivious Bostoners who thought the world was theirs and i was just living in it.

 

[DSLRuser]

Lol, do confronting is ok for line returners by not for hurting a child. Got it.

uh someone actually parenting by spanking a child. I will give that person a high five.

Yes, in the literal sense of the word, spanking my "hurt" a child. but is has been a form of dicipline since the beginning of time. When done correctly, it is a powerfull tool.

Who the heck are you to judge how someone parents. Althogh, when i need to spank my child (not very often) i will pull them asside and do it in private. but should you happen to see me do this, and have the stugots to confront me on it, game on.

Curious, how do you know they were " Bostoners"?...

Not true. On our last day at WDW we planned to spend the morning at Hollywood Studios and then head to Epcot to ride Soarin. We arrived at Epcot at noon and all of the fastpasses were gone. We waited in line for an hour and a half before we got to ride and then headed to the airport.

Haha! My dad and that entire side of the family is from Boston. I wouldn't say they think the world is theirs. Bostonians just tend to be opportunists and that family saw an opportunity to cut the line lol.

I was at Epcot the other night and they were having the limited time magic M&G in Canada. A woman with her small child walked up and the character attendant nicely told them the line was closed... the lady FLIPPED out on the poor guy and then proceeded to cut the entire line and shove her little girl in front of the characters. Needless to say she cause quite the scene, but the cast members just let it go.

Spanking does not always work! My daughter I may have had to do it a handful of times and it would just break her heart but my son I could swat him on the butt until the cows came home and it would not phase him so I had to find a different form of punishment for him.

They usually do and people know that so women like her go ahead and act like an *** because who is going to stop them! I would have made sure that I pointed out her trashy behavior to her .

 

[Granny square]

Lol, people throughout the thread have judged the parenting of others! Y'all are a hoot!

"Good moral people don't leave line to pee and certainly don't teach their ENTITLED children to do so!" sounds like a judgment to me.

Lol, ftr, I don't see a spank on the butt as abuse. I did see a guy slug his child in the mouth once and did say something and did report it and security did come.

And my favorite heinous crime that should result in people being kicked out of the park (kidding) are people who talk during attractions. Far more offensive than line catching up and ruins the production. And happens far more often. Another lesson that should have been learned in k

I would never try to ride Soarin during the day without a FP. Based on reading here and the books, you would know that Soarin like TSMM is a ride to get there for RD and get a FP or try to ride if they keep FW during Illuminations only. I would never wait in that line.

It sounds like you assume everyone who confronts a cutter does so as a raving lunatic which isn't the case. A person can very civilly not move for a cutter and also point out where the line begins.

I find it pathetic to continually let people be rude, break rules, and walk all over other people who are trying the follow the rules and do the right thing. Doing nothing is what perpetuates the behavior of line cutters. They keep testing the waters because people are so afraid to say anything. You go ahead and just keep taking it and taking it. Sorry, I can't stand around murmuring into my armpit how I don't like that line cutter. I feel like the least I can do is let that line cutter know of my discontentment. It isn't ever about the few minutes more I might have to wait, it's a matter of principle.

Once again no rule is being broken

Once again no rule is being broken

Just because no rule was broken doesn't mean it's OK. It's not ok to take advantage of other people,and it's just common courtesy to be a nice human being.Theres no rule that says you have to open doors for others,but people do it anyway because it's a nice act towards others.
There's also no rule that says you must thank and show appreciation to someone who opens a door for you,but we do it because it's common courtesy to so.

Just because there's no rule in regards to line cutting, doesn't mean people should do it.Everyone has equal rights, and if 10 people tried to cut in front of me then I have a right to say something about it.

That "once again no rule has been broken" malarkey is just as bad as the "chat and cut" move! That sounds like line cutting talk to me! jk hehehe.

Seriously though, I agree with the above poster, well said.

So I'm wondering about those of you who think they must confront the evil line people. Are you always so confrontational. Do you battle everyone you disagree with? I always figure dealing with others is like dealing with kids. You learn to pick the battles. I cannot in a million years see the positive in dealing with the world with all the anger. The fact that your angst at others would be so bad that you need to upset others around you without consideration is just plain sad.

I was in a 20+ woman line for the restroom and a woman started to cut at the around 5 woman mark. She wasn't with anyone else in line. She just stepped right on in between two strangers. Everyone in line looked too shocked to say a word, but finally someone spoke up against the line cutter and it was clear the rest of us were relieved. I don't think anyone felt offended or uncomfortable that someone said what the rest of us were thinking and it didn't come across as angry or a battle.

Having said that, I did say earlier in the thread that I don't consider rejoining your party because you needed to go to the restroom (or other brief task) cutting. So I do agree with you that the people who block the way of those rejoining their party would be happier if they relaxed a bit, but I disagree on speaking up against blatant cutting like what I described above.

Lol, bathroom cutting is low. But if someone came rushing in and said they had just got hit by diarrhea I'd give them my place and step back to the end. but I've dealt with my moms cancer issues.

 

[CaliBear]

oh yeah, if it was an emergency it would be different. This was more of a cooly sidle into the line move.

You gotta admire the effort though. Some of these line cutters have some wicked skills, but yeah bathroom cutting, so low lol.

 

[Superspectral]

The point is it's not against the rules.

Yeah, interesting. I've done a lot of research on the Internet, and can't find any US Disney prohibition about cutting. Hong Kong Disneyland does prohibit it in writing.

Though Disney can pretty much ask anyone to leave for any reason. I suspect if it was so blatant you caused a disturbance Disney might intervene. If cutting is rare, then turning a blind eye may reduce confrontations of the he said-she said variety.

Question is - is cutting degrading guest experience enough they should explicitly tell their guests not to do it? Instead of just asking people to be courteous? At WDW I have never seen it stand out. At DLR you see 2 incidents a day on average of true cutting.
