I thought it would be busier but animal kingdom is very manageable. Probably about a 6 maybe a 7 at tops.

Geez could use an EE waffle cone right about now. Creamy.

Doing a test. Flight of Passage posted wait is 90 minutes. Touring plans app says actual wait is 75. Let’s see who’s right.

Also please control your children. I am standing behind a foreign family who is letting their son climb over everything in the FoP queue and allowing him to hit plants with the warning card they give you.

A little vacation AND an opportunity to see how not to parent. You are truly blessed

I appreciate the details of theme parks and this parent is letting his child ruin them.

Your options at this point are:
1) remain silent
2) attempt to gently correct the child on behalf of their parents
3) get super passive aggressive (examples: call somebody on your phone to complain and assume they don't know English, attempt to position yourself to knock over the child by "accident", cough in their general direction without covering your mouth)

Let us know how you proceed?

I’ve remained silent so far mainly because the child doesn’t speak English. I’ve given several eye rolls but the dad is too busy on his phone.

Lol. At least the family behind me is nice.

They are being very nit picky about the warning cards for flight of Passage. They are making sure you read the cards before you get on.

ugh, I had a similar situation a few years ago in the queue for the Little Mermaid ride. The line had stopped (assuming a technical issue) when we were in the circular room part. These two kids were climbing all over the "rock" walls and hitting the light fixtures. They were running back and forth and after the second time they banged into me/my family I asked them to stop and to no run, be careful, etc. They went to an adult in their group to complain that I said something to them and she looked at us and just shrugged her shoulder and turned back around

About 10 minutes later their entire group, I guess frustrated with the wait, went into a door marked "Cast Members Only" - not sure what happened to them after that

interesting - there must have been some incident where a person was injured/got sick or something and complained/threatened to sue Disney ... no way they just all of a sudden came up with this on their own

That’s quite the story. They must be inside Ursula’s cave now

Do we get a quiz before we can ride?

Yep. I wasn’t given a card at the entrance because I think the CM thought I was with the group in front of me. The CM at the card collection point made me read the card even though I had said I’ve been on this attraction several times.

We might be getting to that point.

Yeah - those poor unfortunate souls.

When did they start giving out cards for FoP? Missed that in December.
