line cheaters at Princess Fairytale hall

[Gracie09]

your DH is being mean....I would have pushed past.....what is he the WDW police?

Well if you laid a hand on him, then a cm would have been found immediately. He is also 6'7" tall and 225, so not exactly easy to move out of your way

I don't think he is being mean I think the people pushing passed are being rude. Sorry but my Vacation is as important as yours, wait like everyone else. If someone in your party wants to shop, grab food take a rest, they can just skip the ride or catch up with you after the ride.

I find it laughable all the toughies who won't let someone pass Are you going to physically restrain someone(the same high horse rider who feel it is a bad example to show kids to be a cutter would show their children that physically grabbing someone is ok?) because otherwise there is no way to stop someone winding through to meet their dh. I know some of the lines are tight, but the lines especially where A&E are plenty wide, I would just pop over the divider on the one side walk against the grain a few steps and then cross back over and continue on my way. I wouldn't even dignify your you shall not pass with a response. I'd say c'mon sweetie and continue ahead with the kid(s) to my dh Like a pp poster said, most families get how difficult long lines are and have sympathy and compassion and have no issue allowing someone to pass. I am glad we had no lines or FP for all of our m&g so this wasn't even an issue for us....and this is another reason why we pile on the character meals...no cranky people in line

For example last trip we were in line at Everest a grandma type lady was holding a spot for her two grandsons(guessing on relationship) they went ahead of us. A little annoying but whatever. What was really annoying was the mom who for the rest of the line continued to loudly cut these people down. " if my kids did that id just be appalled. Some people just have no manners" and on and on and on.

People saving a spot & then having their family join them does irritate me, but I agree completely about other people loudly & rudely carrying on about the line cutters. The most uncomfortable I've ever been at WDW was probably in the Little Mermaid line. A woman tried to take her stroller through the line, and a CM stopped her. Her family continued into the line while she parked the stroller. A few minutes later when she went to join her family in the line, a man got absolutely belligerent. He physically blocked her from moving past him & was being very loud & rude. She ended up shoving him to get through. For the rest of the wait he complained to anyone and everyone about how rude she was, apparently while being unaware of how rude he was.
Sure I thought her family entering the line without her was rude. But I would never have dreamed of making a scene or causing everyone around me to be uncomfortable.

Lots of opinions. I guess for me "I know it when I see it" in regards to line cutters. A pack of young teens moving past to see the rest of their cheer group, is cutting in line. If I'm on line for 30 minutes and you join the party ahead of me and you were never on line for the first 30 minutes, you probably are cutting inline. A member of the party running ahead while the others do whatever is IMO rude. When my kids were younger the 4 of us would get on line together. If 1 child had to use the restroom, 1 parent and child would park the stroller etc. and wait for the other 2 outside of the start of the line and we would join the line together. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

If you want to join the party in front of me and its the two of us and 8 in your party and 5 of you are coming in late, why not invite me to go in front of your group since its grown so much. I might even say that's OK thank you.

Every situation is different in regards to tolerance, like I said I know it when I see it.

Honestly, I just now misread the thread title as "Line cheaters in Princess Fairytale hell"

Though on second thought, that would seem the appropriate punishment...

 

[AllieBoo]

Getting in and out of lines for any reason is not acceptable period

Disagree. If the whole family had gotten in line, and then one of the kids had to run to the bathroom and wasn't holding up the line, that's not a problem

Seriously, I don't care how tall or wide you are- it's easy to get past someone and I suspect others in the crowd might help out once they see some 6'7" 225 lb "man" trying to take grandma and her 2 yr old grandson on and block them from getting to his mother. Real tough guy....sheesh.

 

[AllieBoo]

Ok. But my kids will still get to see Anna and Elsa 10 minutes before your kids, so we "win" - but I hope calling my kids "line cutter"s will make you feel better. As another poster said, people need to relax. Life's too short to get worked up over such trivial things.

Really? What a great example you are setting for your children. Great parenting, go you!

 

[AllieBoo]

If it's so trivial, why not wait your turn? Why do you have to push forward in front of people instead of letting your line-cutting accomplice let people push past him until you have caught up to him? If 10 minutes is no big deal, why not wait for 10 minutes instead of shoving other children out of the way so you can go in front of them?

The kind of breathtaking hypocrisy you display is why going to WDW will always be a frustrating experience: jerks want to blame other people for pointing out that they are jerks.

So True!!!

 

[huhwhat]

I dont care how tall or heavy he is....stop acting like the moral authority of WDW....what you see as wrong some other do not have a problem with..maybe you are the type that looks for issues where there are none

 

[huhwhat]

I have total respect for dads that wait in line for hours while the rest of the family enjoys the park

 

[alvernon90]

I guess it is only because he is not the police that you would consider resorting to violence. Your desire to cut in front of other families is not a medical emergency. You have no legal or moral right to use physical force just because somebody is not cooperating with your violation of park rules.

How exactly would you explain it to the Disney security when they show up? "I was trying to cut the line and he wouldn't move so I shoved him." You know what does an even better job of ruining your kids' vacation than failing to cut the line? Getting ejected because one parent is some kind of sociopath.

I mean honestly. What the actual bleep is wrong with people?

seriously? if someone insists on blocking a mother and child from getting up to their family I feel sorry for them. I would have pushed past anyone trying to block me....I am not easily intimidated and I think if security showed up to see a 6'7 man and a 5'6 woman and child they would roll their eyes at the man...like I said ..as long as it is a family and not a BTG .......IT DOESNT BOTHER ME....... obviously it bothers others but sometimes there are medical reason why a person cant stand in line for hours...btw sociopath...honestly , relax

This is what the garbage people are counting on: that you will be too polite to make a scene while they (literally) walk all over you. In fact, toxic people in all environments (bullies, abusive parents, etc.) thrive because everyone quietly tolerates them in order to keep from making a bigger scene than they are already making.

I agree that it's not worth it to make a scene. The garbage people cutting in front of you could just as easily punch you in the face, putting a real damper on the rest of your trip. Their monster children could snap a photo of you and turn you into a cruel and/or filthy meme to post to the Internet. It's best to just let them pass. But make no mistake, it's not because line cutting is no big deal, it's because WDW is a place where the garbage people win. Ask anyone in the second row of a parade route.

 

[alvernon90]

honestly , relax

OK, fine, just please don't touch me.

 

[huhwhat]

OK, fine, just please don't touch me.

stay out of my way

 

[mummabear]

I guess you missed the part where I said I don't bring my young children into hour long lines. I, as their parent, know their limits and plan around it. Just like a do at home. They use the bathroom before the two hour drive to visit grandma. They don't get to chug a large bottle of water in the car.

For that, sure there's no problem, the whole party gets out of line and returns to the back of the line.

I find this attitude laughable. No way am I going to the back of the line or refusing to allow my DD to meet A&E because they may not be able to hold their pee for long enough.
IMO the person with the poor attitude and lack of common courtesy here is you

So...father rushing a few minutes ahead to get in line so his daughters can meet princesses (probably without ever considering that anyone would object, and possibly even after being encouraged to do so by Disney CMs) = garbage people, toxic people, monster children.

You have absolutely no idea how you come across, do you? Wow, I can't even fathom what it would be like to see the world this way. How absolutely miserable.

woah....I think you are doing a lot of projecting....why so hostile ? If WDW is a place for garbage people maybe you should look into other vacation spots that dont cause such hatred to boil over
