People are insane!

[LIPeter]

This morning, I had an early ADR for Akershus. After breakfast, I got on the FEA line at about 9:02, and there were about 8 people in front of me. All of a sudden, the crowd comes and just pushes their way in. Before I knew it, there was like 30 people in front of me now. I know you want to get on the ride early, but jeez.

Sadly we've noticed similar behavior at rope drop on the way to 7d or TSM. Pushing, cutting, stepping on feet. It's sad that it gets that ugly and cut throat. It's vacation...relax people. Is a few minutes/spots in line going to really make a difference?

Not insane ............... RUDE.

Disney brings out the best in many

My DH used the "puff" method when he flies alone on business. He puffs his chest out and makes himself appear bigger than he is so people don't take the seat next to him. I'll have to try this method in line when I go to WDW, spread my self out so nobody can get by me!

aaah rope drop, where parents will hurl their children with no care for safety to get an inch closer than if they didn't just to see a robotic version of frozen.

 

[Shanti]

Lucky for me, I've never seen this behavior at rope drop. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

I use a "cough method." I do my best to sound as bad as possible with a persistent fake cough when people try to crowd or push me to the side. Try it. It stops people in their tracks. They will give you wide berth.

I didn't have a bad experience. I just think people get a little nutty.

Agreed. I think WDW does the same thing to some people that weddings do to certain brides. Everything has to be perfect, & no one's gonna stand in my way.

Hoping you are joking, as a plane seat is not something you can claim, unless you pay for it. He really tries to intimidate people not to sit next to him?

I don't think they were implying he was threatening anyone. He's simply trying to make sitting next to him look like the least desireable option. It's not as egregious as you seem to think.

The proper word is discourage, not intimidate.

 

[Lost Yeti]

You mean no one else dresses up and equips their child's stroller like a Roman chariot to get through crowds?

Seriously though, people can really get crazy. Sorry you had to experience that.

 

[undertheradar]

Remember when there were no adrs, and people didn't plan every waking second? I miss the good old days at WDW.

 

[peteykirch]

You need to learn to box out and throw elbows like Dennis Rodman

 

[aristocatz]

Wow, I've never experienced this with rides.

Where are the cast members? Aren't they supposed to be making sure lines are being managed in a sound manner?

Sorry to hear that. I can say for sure I wouldn't be as tolerant as you. If people tried to do that and push in front of me and my family, they would not succeed.

And I do the same thing on airplanes...try to make it a little less appealing to sit next to me. I like my personal space.

Yes, that was my thought too. Guests shouldn't have to cough or puff themselves up or anything else to maintain their spot in line. It sounds dangerous for 30 groups to push into an existing line for an attraction. Unacceptable that CMs couldn't or wouldn't do anything to prevent or correct that.

 

[LIPeter]

It happened so quick, I don't know if the CMs could have done anything.

 

[AllieBoo]

Wow! I would definitely not be ok with that! I have a very low tolerance for rude people. I really hope nothing like this happens when we go in June.
