* The throwaway campsite or room to get FPs early when staying off-property thus preventing other revenue-making families from being able to come.
* Multiple ADRs for the same day and time. Somewhat deterred by MDE as you would have to make new accounts for the extra ADRs but definitely not stopped.
* Adults - solo or otherwise - being yelled at by parents that we should not be allowed to see characters/do character breakfasts/keep the parade or fireworks spot we staked out because their little snowflake(s) are more important because they are kids.
I don't think this is really an issue anymore. It used to be before they moved to the "chip" system. I think the conflict was over whether you could bring a refillable mug from a previous trip and use it again, without paying for it again. People would bring old mugs from past trips (or any container really like a thermos or drink bottle) and get free drinks for their trip. Just walk up to the drink station and help yourself. Some say that CM's told them it was fine to do, others said CM's told them it was not okay to do.
Now, with the chip system, you cannot do this anymore. You have to pay to get the chip activated in order to get a drink.
My favorite arguments to read about are: (1) whether "Free Dining" is actually free. And (2) whether AP passes or DVC rooms count towards total trip cost when discussing how much people's most recent trip cost them.

The boldest example is when your party has been in line for a bit and one or more people just sidle in ahead of you from out of the blue. More often there will be a person or 2 in line and at the last minute a hoard of their friends 'join' them, not having waited there at all. I have no problem with the reverse, a family in line being joined by a kid who had to hit the john or by an older relative who has trouble standing for a long time.
It would make me so sad if I got yelled at when I go to WDW for the first time hopefully in 2017 due to "kids being more important". I completely understand how special it is for the kids but for us big kids hehe it's just as special. I know I'll probably cry when I walk down Main Street for the first time
