What do you do with people that cut in line to meet up with group?

[HayGan]

Technically, you didn't "rejoin" your family, as you had not been with them in line to start with.

You made the choice to split up from your family. Choices have consequences.

We disagree. The most common courtesy of all would be for people to just get in line and wait their turn like everybody else.

It's not being "kind" to enable selfish behavior. To my mind, it's more kind to point it out to people and help them correct it, much like an intervention to help someone out of their denial and confront their character flaws.

I'm not going to get into an argument with you here because obviously we see things differently and nothing you or I say will change each other's minds. I will say if you re-read my post you will see that it wasn't a choice to become split up - it was a miscommunication. That miscommunication did not in anyway affect other's enjoyment of the park or that ride that evening.

I'm an adult - I don't need an intervention or someone to point out "good manners". I was always taught to be respectful of other people and teach my children to do the same. If someone has made an mistake and asks for an apology, I kindly accept their apology and go along with my business.

Just as you think I was being selfish, I would also think of someone being selfish by not giving someone forgiveness for an event that in no way has an impact on your or your well-being. By doing that, it is all about you and what you want. That is also being selfish.

I'm thankful that I don't live my life sweating the small stuff like this. It is quite ridiculous IMHO.

What's ridiculous is the idea that anyone would line jump to get into Ellen's Energy Adventure...

So is jumping 5 min line or elbowing someone to get,.. wait for it... better seat on Stitch. We experienced both 2 years ago during Labor Day week with empty parks.
First case we were walking on Buzz, 5 min wait, meaning you just walk on ride and stop for few minutes at the end where you can see like 10 people. So my DD in front of me, I am one step behind, we do not enter line shoulder by shoulder, weird, I know. So this couple running from the side cutting between two of us, then continue to run passing other people who walk already in line. Then 2 min later, we see another couple, older one, I guess parents doing same thing waving to first couple. I do not know what was the point of this cutting but maybe they were just chasing each other.
Second case on Stitch, after preshow, woman elbowed my DD and moved to be first to enter ride.
So, yes, people are crazy, what can we do.

The why doesn't matter, only the result. Your DH should have stepped aside and waited for you without you getting in front of anyone, that would have been the polite and right thing to do.

I don't let line cutters in front of me. If you want to physically pick me up to move me go at it and we will talk to security.

If it isn't a big number of people I usually just let it go. I know I've been guilty of it myself in weak moments

And it is precisely because of posters like this that we will never see the end of line cutting. It is not just the overtly rude and selfish line cutters who know that what they are doing is wrong but deliberately do it anyway just to save themselves the time of waiting in line like everyone else.

It is the entitled guest who can't comprehend that what they are doing could possibly be wrong- and the one who refuses to acknowledge that what they are doing is inconveniencing every guest that they push in front of. The one who feels that their case is so much more important or is such an exception, that the rules don't apply to them. And how dare we suggest otherwise. THESE are the people who will ensure that line cutting continues. Until Disney allows their employees to grow a set and clamps down on the jumpers and cutters.

Do you need an intervention?

Thanks -- I didn't think I could do it without incurring points...

If it's 2 or 3 people who are just trying to get to their party then I just let them by, because a few people won't matter, and because I'm not a "a child having a tantrum"

 

[TDC Nala]

Let them go, It's annoying, but they're going to do it, and WDW will do nothing about it. When it's a big group, though, like 15 or more, it's really problematic.

And yet, somehow...

And yet, somehow I knew you'd jump on that. It makes sense, since nine year olds are the type to scream No FAIR every time they are slightly inconvenienced.

Then, possibly, "a child having a tantrum" would have been a more general and considerate option?

It did made someones wait longer, your family was suppose to wait for you, they just misunderstood you. You were not together, you were not ready to enter. OK, it was misunderstanding, they could stop moving and wait for you to catch up without you moving infront of others. You had phone to contact them. You did not. People who let you infront of them did you a favor but if someone would not you can't say they were selfish, you were cutting. What happened to you by accident which does not really change final result anyway, some people practice completely on purpose and it makes difference. For example TSM, some run for FP, some run into SB line to ride fast and then grab FP. Some are very "smart" and send family in line while grabbing FP. Their families not ready to enter, extra person does make a difference and instead of short wait you get a longer wait while FPs were also grabbed by those who made this wait longer. And we have tons of such examples. Does not mean that we block each and every person. Most of us letting it go even so it affects us, but we still recognize it as wrong.

Well, I have to speak up when people who can't help their condition are unfairly maligned.

 

[MarineVet]

I don't think your comparisons are the same.

I find it extremely rude when you are cutting line you virtually have to push people. I been hit by backpacks before, it is just rude.

This makes me think of another line issue- people blocking the FP line. I have this problem at Splash Mountain more than anywhere, people in the standby line sitting up on the wooden rail that seperates the FP line from standby with large backpacks on. I've had to stop walking and inch along the wall to get past them. Also in Buzz Lightyear, people lean backwards against the rail into the FP line with their bodies or packs and it makes it really hard to get around. I'd like to think its not intentional......?

Exactly!!

As I mentioned before, people holding a place is not that huge of a deal with me normally unless people are squeezing by me with a lot of bodily contact, but....

My family was ready to leave AK last year and were staying at Shades of Green, so we were really conscious of getting to the bus on time - it only runs once per hour. We stopped for a Donald Duck M&G and one man in front of us claimed to be holding a place in line for his wife and 4 kids. Fortunately they didn't show up before it got to be our turn, or we would have had to have missed the bus or skipped seeing Donald.

Just quoting you again because it is such an excellent post.

I envision the people who line cut are the same people at Walmart on Black Friday ripping open the wrapped stacks of merchandise before the sale starts and taking things out of other people's carts. They are the only ones that matter, and to heck with any rules of behavior.
