Have to get this off my chest, was I wrong?

[KellyNY]

I hate when people stop and holding the line and expect everyone to wait for them, even if you do not board it is annoying. I stopped to take pictures as well but I fully expected people to move in front of me and they did, no big deal. Giving dirty looks, calling CM and so on is so extremely childish.

If the line has moved forward and the folks playing the games have decided to stop there and play for a bit - absolutely.

I'm actually surprised by how many people think that they are so special that entire lines of people should wait for them.

Honestly, it is time to grow up and realize that although mommy and daddy may have put you first and waited for you, not everyone will be doing that. And you should not be asking - much less telling - them to all stop for you.

I would agree with you if they were keeping me from any significant time in my life. But since I am only catching up to the people in front of the "sightseers" to wait, your argument holds no water with me. Is boarding the vehicle in 19 minutes 25 seconds instead of 19 minutes 30 seconds worth it? Really?

 

[Reddog1134]

Why is everyone is such a hurry to go no where?

Perception. If you have 100 people in line that takes an hour to get through at a steady pace, they'll be happier than 100 people standing in a lobby waiting for an hour to enter a theater.

Well, i would have waited. When you are in a line like that, you will still be able to board the ride when it is rightfully your turn. That is what disney is, imo, a place to meet people who are there to have fun.!!!!! I love to get a bunch of pictures . Just follow the golden rule, i guess. Although i'm sure there are times that is hard to do. A lot of times people will take advantage of you.....if you let them. I just don't like confrontation.

while in line at TSMM, the people in front of us were taking lots of pictures as the line moved along. No big deal as it is a great queue! However, when we got to Mr Potato head, they and 2 other groups stopped dead and were posing their kids for shots. I walked ahead of them as we were not taking pictures. The woman had a FIT!!!! Yelled at me, tried to stop my DD from moving ahead too, complained to a CM, glared at us the rest of the queue. To me, it was one thing when they were just taking shots in the line but totally different when you start posing for multiple pictures.

Should I have waited while they finished their rather lengthy photo shoot? Really ruined the night for me. I suppose I should have just let her have her way but she made me sooo mad!!!!

Sometimes I even offer to take a group photo of them so everyone can get in. In this case, it wouldn't be a big deal to me. I'm sure at some point in the trip I probably "held up" others by taking pictures myself. Whether it be walking along Main St or through the countries in Epcot.

I DO! I expect people to walk around me when taking pictures and I do the same to others.

...

I understand. That's why I asked if the line was backed up. It is a different story if folks are just hanging out playing the game and the line in front has disappeared.

Me thinks you are taking this way too personally.

Lighten up a bit and participate in a civilized discussion. There is no need to continually use derogatory terms/phrases.

 

[palmtreegirl]

I think you should have waited.

 

[tlbwriter]

If it's one or two pictures then no big deal, I would just wait. It's the ones where they have a big group and each person has to get their own picture taken that I take issue with. Heck, I even saw one guy whip out some collapsible tripod thing (maybe a monopod) so he could get just the right shot or something. Should I and everyone else have just stood there until he got just the right picture of each of his five kids? The "polite" picture takers will tell the rest of the line to continue on.

It's a simple thing for the picture take to just rejoin the line instead of holding up the entire line.

You didn't answer my question that you quoted, so I'll ask it again.

You're in line behind these people. They have been taking pictures, the line has moved on ahead of them, and now they're ready to rejoin the line. You feel they should not go back to their original spot, since they got out of the line. And right now you happen to be standing at the potato head display. So if they're going to rejoin line, the logical spot to rejoin is right where you are. Are you going to let them into the line in front of you?

No kidding. If you're trying to convince everyone that YOU are the one who is polite and appropriate, you're doing a bad job of it.

 

[Reddog1134]

It's just like the late FP argument.

If the person taking the picture had entered the line earlier in the day, you would still get on the ride at the same time. You just wouldn't have noticed the delay.

My "lawyer-speak" senses are tingling.

If he says yes, does that mean he shouldn't have gone in front of the folks to begin with? If he says no, is he playing one-sided?

 

[MickeyNicki]

If it was one pic I would have waited but multiple photos or taking a long time I would have told them I am moving along while you take pictures, the line doesnt stop for you

 

[ols386]

I probably would have waited a bit, but after a certain point in time, I may very well have stepped around them and moved along.

And the next question will be, "Have you stopped beating your wife!"

 

[cluvsdisney]

I would have waited. If I were to pass the people taking pictures (which would not happen unless they waved me through), I would spend the rest of the time feeling like I cut ahead of them.

It makes no difference to me if I wait here or wait there for the same amount of time. Kind of like people that cut you off on the road to get to the red light right in front of you...I always think "Are you happy now?"

 

[DisLee]

For me, I guess it would depend on how long the group in front of me was taking. I try to be as nice as I can to everyone I meet. Especially when at Disney. I may have waited a min or two and allowed them a chance to get their pic.

It's not personal. I have never seen anyone start having a temper tantrum because the line didn't wait when they stopped (for whatever reason).

But it is extremely selfish and childish behavior.

People who expect a bunch of strangers to stop because they feel like stopping and then throw a temper tantrum because the rest of the world isn't waiting for them need to be reminded that the rest of the world will not be doting on them and waiting for them.

And when they throw their temper tantrum, they ought to be ignored.

This is all stuff their parents should have taught them before they were 5 years old and it is a shame they have to learn it as adults.

 

[tlbwriter]

And the next question will be, "Have you stopped beating your wife!"

So I assume that means you're not going to answer it? Why not? It's not a trick question. You're insisting that these people should just rejoin the line. So, if they wanted to rejoin the line where YOU were, would you let them? Have you done so in the past? You said it's easy enough to do so... is that the voice of experience?
