line cutting

[Shimey013]

Usually I "accidently" trip/push line cutters and they usually get upset, and but yea, i usually just ignore them and block their path so they can't get thru. Sometime the CM will do something bout line cutters other times they just dont care. I hate when they dont care, cause i dont care how old you are or where your group is, i waited in line and you can do the same. I dont buy the "Im meeting my party" excuse anymore...

yeah we did that on BTMRR. a group of 4 had been excusing them selves to meet up with a single kid far up the line until they got to us. We wouldn't let them thru and once we said it several others in line said the same thing. the kid grudgingly waited for them to catch up.

we just stand blocking the line and ignore requests to get by. stay together, stay in line.

Exactly what we do! The human blockade works surprisingly well in those cases.

Vegas oddsmakers have set the over-under line on this thread at 9.5. Place your bets.

Under.

Under.

Ohhh, definitely agreed.

My husband and I don't like it too much when this happens.

Last time we went we were cut off by a group of about 8 people at our bus stop to go back to the resort. We didn't get on because of them. I was steamed... not much we could do though.

My husband actually gets madder than I do. He even got in a verbal fight last time, and I was quite embarrassed. I do my best to not let it bother me. BUT, if I can block them, we definitely try to. It would be nice to have a bigger group than 2. It's easier to block with a larger group.

Quite possibly your husband wasn't moving because of the phone call he recieved, and the group of people just walked around him and the rest of your family.

That's what I thought when I read it. If I approached a line and had no idea that someone was in line I would just get in the back of the moving part. For 11 people to enter there had to be quite a large space between him and the people in front of him.

Today in Epcot I was cut twice once in kodak picture once in Soarin and they were both speaking Portuguese
Could it be coincidence ?

Disney allows line cutting.

People who want to cut know this and do it.

If you can't live with the line cutters, don't go to Disney.

It's annoying and ignorant, but the truth of the matter is I am on vacation.
Do I want to get involved in a altercation with someone who is clearly not a very considerate person in front of my family? Not really!!!
I certainly am not going to let this effect my vacation any more then the 10sec it took me to think about it and get over it.

On our most recent trip to WDW, this happened quite a bit. Just about every time it was someone meeting up with another person ahead in the line. Most of those times (about 95%) it was usually a parent and child meeting with the rest of their party. Those don't bother me since it did not happen frequently and it didn't really slow the line down. Now, if everyone did it, it would be a problem. The other 5% (that I did have a problem with) was usually when a large group sees a single friend or a couple of friends ahead and decides to join them up front. This happened to us at TTA one day when 2 girls in front of us let about a dozen people in line with them (and the line behind us was long). People behind us were mentioning loudly that the end of the line was back there. The cutters didn't care and started back with looks that said FU.

My 2 cents

I don't understand. "Feeling Unremorseful"?

Does it really matter? I can't stand line cutters, whether it be at Disney or the people in the construction zone who don't merge until the last possible moment. I just always think that I am doing the right thing, so if people do the wrong thing, let them. Setting a bad example by attacking them or tripping them doesn't help. Is it worth not enjoying your trip because you are getting all het up about something you can't control?

Quite possibly your husband wasn't moving because of the phone call he recieved, and the group of people just walked around him and the rest of your family.

That's what I thought when I read it. If I approached a line and had no idea that someone was in line I would just get in the back of the moving part. For 11 people to enter there had to be quite a large space between him and the people in front of him.

I was wondering the same thing too. Sometimes people get caught up talking, whatever and just don't move, almost as if they are waiting for someone to catch up to them. OP said the line was in the street, therefore no queue area to confine people. If there was plenty of room to move around the husband while he was on his phone call (and the children) I can see people walking by. As OP said, her husband didn't notice them going by. Now to a child, it's black and white - the others cut in front. Maybe OP should remind her husband to keep up with the line. If someone was in the street (in line) and they stopped for a phone call, obviously oblivious to those around them and the wife had gone off to park the stroller, many might think either he was waiting for the wife or his phone call was more important or that he wasn't in line.

If I was behind him I would have asked him if he noticed the line was moving but then some people do not like to be interrupted on their cell phones. I actually have at times asked people if they are in line at some areas and they are NOT. Didn't even realize there was a line. Let's face it TSM is a known zoo. You can't miss a beat if you want to keep up with the line.

Why didn't the people OP was chatting with in front of her family say something to the hubby when the line moved without him and the kids? Did they possible think that he was stopping for the phone call or waiting for his wife to come back?

Why did the child not speak up while everyone was cutting in front but then was so vocal once the mom came back - vocal the rest of the wait? Did the child speak up and dad didn't hear because of the phone call or did child only speak up when mom came back, knowing dad wouldn't care but mom would? Or did child speak up AFTER mom came back and asked about all the people in front of them?

I do NOT agree with intentional line cutting but I am wondering if this scenario was possible in this situation since OP and hubby did not see what happened?

I realize this situation is different but we've had people give us dirty looks and make rude comments when we walked by them in the LEFT LINES of attractions that none of them realized were open. I'm sure in their minds we were doing something wrong when we weren't.

Why not give the so called line cutters the benefit of the doubt in this situation since we don't know exactly how it went down?

No offense but since OP was parking the stroller and her family was in line, maybe those behind considered that she was line cutting by catching up to her family?

i went to park the stroller and left dh with the kids. i had been chatting with the family in front of us so i knew when i came back the people now in front of us were not suppossed to be.

So, after you cut in line you noticed others had cut in line too?

How dare them!!!!!

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

I use to let it go too.........but now I simply block the way......NO..I get looks and whatever, but the last time someone tried to pushed measide, I just stood their and they fell on the ground, I called the CM over and told them I was assulted and they couple was removed.

So .........stand up for what is right...AKK

 

[CTmommyx3]

the line was not fast moving my dd just said they just came walking up and cut in, she did say something once i got there. but she is 9 so she would not have confronted them. dh would not have either, even though he is the first to call someone out i think he would not want and issue in line.
i am sure he had no clue who was i front of us or not.. but i do not think he was standing and left a huge gap the kids most certainly would have told him to keep going even if he was on the phone.
either way I guess i would have made sure i told the person in front of me if distracted the line is moving i have done it many times.
also these people were not behind us seeing i also saw who was behind me.
so they did come from either many people behind or just walked on up.

oh and yes how dare I cut back in line with 4 members of my family!
I would have no isse with someone cutting back in line for stroller parking for a kids using the bathroom, or even a husband meeting up with the wife.

kind of had the same thought.

I don't understand. "Feeling Unremorseful"?

"Flippantly Unsympathetic."

Good for you! Absolutely nothing wrong with standing your ground, and if the line cutter runs into an immovable object, oh well.

Huh? I'm pretty sure this makes absolutely no sense. First off you say it happened 'quite a bit'. 95% of the time it was one thing. Which didn't bother you because it did not happen frequently?

Last I checked if something happens 'quite a bit' and 95% of the time it is one thing then that is frequent.
