Here now - can’t believe amount of people “gaming” the system

[Elle23]

We saw this happen during our November trip. A couple got through the FP line on blue (they waited until a crowd formed at the touch points and hurried through after touching their bands). The CM did say something initially but it was too congested so she just let them through.

Thankfully the CM at the next touch point busted them and made them leave.

I don’t think I would be able to enjoy a ride knowing I had just scammed the system to get on it, but that’s just me.

Although I will say not everyone is cheating - we had issues with our FP+ on the 26th, its a shock when that ring turns blue and you know you have a FP! Don't rely on screenshots either, at least they didn't work for us we had to go to GR and try and fix things

Totally agree on this. While it absolutely chaps my um, HIDE, to see people cutting line, I’m sure at least some of them legitimately HAVE FP and it just. Isn’t. WORKING. But we’ve all heard the stories here of wildly varying levels of guest recovery, so when those folks get told to leave, say, 7DMT, and trek all the way to GR, HOPING they’ll fix it and not just say “oh sorry, I can give you FP for anything...except that...”. You can see how they’d finally snap and just decide they’re bathing through that blue Mickey if nobody stops them. I really can imagine that happens more than we’d hope. So I guess when I see this stuff happen, I’ll try to just let it go, knowing that it would probably hold us all up more if they stopped everything to try to sort it out :/

I know the last thing Disney wants is big confrontations between guests and CMs.

But I assume Disney knows that.

That's absolutely correct.

The things I had to deal with as a College Program Cast Member amazed me! I literally kicked two young men off of the ride I worked for making a little girl bleed because they kept pressing the gas in their car causing it to bump the one in front. I went livid when I saw her blood, walked over to their car, got really close and said two words, "Get. Out." They looked at me like a deer in the headlights. I repeated myself again, a bit louder. "Get. Out. You've caused the little girl in the car in front of you to bleed, that's it. LEAVE this ride or I can have you out of the park altogether." Just a fact....no I couldn't have them thrown out of the park, their offense wasn't that great, but it got the job done. Two other boys were spitting on people from the bridge as they drove underneath. I asked other CMs to hold the cars and went and stood at the bridge looking up to them with no fear and said, "You want to spit, spit on me. Then when you do, understand I will be the last person you spit on...ever." I just eyed them and dared them to argue. "Get off that bridge. Now." They started not to move till me and one of the male CMs started walking that way......they left. This was during the Night of Joy..the boys who were spitting. I had already worked a 10 hour day and was exhausted. All my shift leaders told me I handled myself and those young teens VERY well. I was older...in my 30s....so it was just easier for me I guess. The first incident was during regular park hours and do you know I got applause from all the guests??!!! Applause! I hadn't realized how many were watching, I didn't care. This was long before I was a mother, but I was an aunt and seeing a bleeding child to no fault of their own always did me in. We got her cleaned up, sent her and the mom up to guest relations to be "checked out" and I gave them 3 paper fastpasses for any rides they chose while in Disney that didn't expire.....

....GOOD FOR YOU! <<clap>>, <<clap>>, <<clap>>

Another favorite, pretend you don't speak English and then speak perfect English after getting through the line

We just got back and saw a bit of this; most of the time the CM's weren't buying it but a fair amount of people did get past, honestly I think they still need to use the 2nd touch point. We didn't let it bother us if people want to cheat that's on them and yes I felt for the CM's trying to do a good job.

Although I will say not everyone is cheating - we had issues with our FP+ on the 26th, its a shock when that ring turns blue and you know you have a FP! Don't rely on screenshots either, at least they didn't work for us we had to go to GR and try and fix things

Honestly, I'm glad it doesn't work. I mean, I realize you weren't doing this but if that worked do you know how many would tscreenshotn shot and then change their FP?

CMs working those positions do it day in day out for months and are well aware of what's going on. They're not being gamed and don't need additional training.

Are you saying the official line is to never, ever stop a guest from entering a FP line without a FP? Then why do some stop these guests and some let them go? I've watched many a CM get cursed out for refusing entry to a guest without a FP. For every 1 that scams through, I see 5 get stopped

So they use the same policy for park admission?
