People making ADR for Early Entry and not eating?

[JFatFace_Travels]

When I went to Epcot in December 2016 I had an ADR for Akershus. While waiting in line for our name to be called I saw people gathering for the Frozen ride. I know that there is a cancellation fee for missing a reservation. Do people skip their reservation to enter early and take the cancellation fee, and how does Disney and other react to people doing this, and do people do this for other parks?

Yes people really will do this
How does Disney react? They charge $10 a person (or can, it's not automatic)
How does others react? None of my business, not my money. I guess you can say it's taking away a spot for someone who does want to eat and that's a shame but nothing being done is wrong. I don't think it's a rampant problem. Not that many are willing to pay $10 a person for a ride
Do they do it in other parks? Yes

Well people pay for breakfast, eat quick to go on rides, and that to me is a waste of money. 10 a person to get in early and potentially get on two rides could be worth it. is it right? Nope and I think Disney should fix that situation same as the situation with Jedi training where people are going for breakfast so they can just hop in the line for it. Breakfast people should be walked back to the line IMHO same as everyone else when they are done if they are done before normal time.

My husband is a photographer and sometimes he will book a PPO breakfast at BOG, eat a cupcake, and then run off to take early morning pics.
