I did all my research on here about FOP and rope drop. We were the second family to arrive at Animal Kingdom this morning. We were there at like 7am on the dot. They were not even taking parking fees yet we got there so early. So we lined up first. Yet the way Disney handles that rope drop somehow had hundreds of people madly pushing past us and jumping over us and knocking into my 66 year old mother to get to the front.
People that DID NOT get there nearly as early as us. So why get there early if any yahoo can mob you and run and jump over benches and push and smack their way to the front?!
I thought it was a mannerly walk by cast members to the line. Not a mad mob dash. If I had known I would have never taken my senior mother and my autistic son into that mob. I am really upset with Disney right now. Its a liability nightmare waiting to happen. A child or elderly person could easily be tramped in that mess.
People were running, pushing, smacking, jumping etc to get to the front and cast members did nothing.
We were not walking slow we were second in line and walking super fast and still had hundreds push past us. We still got on by 9 but I was not okay with how that went down at all. I don't go to concerts and festivals and stuff like that for a reason. I don't want to be smushed into mad mobs. That is not what I went to Disney for.
Disney needs a more organized way to handle that. Start an actual queue with a small line from the opening to the ride so there is not pushing ahead. Hand out numbers to people in line and go by that. Something besides the mad mob that it turned out to be. My mom was very upset.
So I just want others to know-rope drop for FOP works as far as getting there quick-but BE WARNED- you will be pushed, smacked, crowded and mobbed. People were running along the side jumping benches and stuff to run ahead of people and then pushing back into the crowd up ahead. I had people just pushing me and pushing me.
Its not okay. I am really disappointed in Disney for how they handled this. Its dangerous.
