Here’s a story that I think puts this all in perspective. One day while we were in line at Peter Pan, a few groups ahead of us was a mother and daughter. The father and younger son were outside the queue, as the little one decided that he didn’t want to get on a “scary Pirate Ship”. After about 20 minutes of the mother and daughter zig-zagging through the line, the little boy started to cry because he had a change of heart and now wanted to join his mommy and sister on the ride. At this point, the father sheepishly and apologetically asked the people between he and his wife if he could go under/over the ropes and chains to join the rest of his party. He did not have to cut through the entire length of the line because of the way it wound back and forth. He only needed to go through two sets of chains which meant that only three or four groups would have to make way for he and his son. Now, the crowd could have said: 1. No. You and your son can get in the back of the line and ride separately, and when your wife and daughter finish the ride, they can wait 30 minutes for you at the exit. (This is an accepted solution here on the Dis.) Or, 2. No. Your wife and daughter can let 20 minutes worth of people pass them by while they remain stationary, and that way you can catch up with them. (This is another accepted solution here on the Dis.) Or, 3. Sure. No problem. We “get it”. Slide on by. (This is a "no-no" here). Guess which one happened. Yup. #3. Pixie dust, magic and smiles abounded. But here on the Dis, this is the exact wrong solution. Now, is there a difference between a young boy who has a change of heart and someone else who was off signing up for Jedi Training? Sure. But in order for me to know and appreciate the difference, I would have to ask questions that, frankly, are none of my business. In practice, I find that people are far more accommodating than they pretend to be here. Who wants a silly confrontation to ruin a day at Disney World?
