Where does Disney send line-cutters?

[jeffg4]

LOL, like heck I'm going to take time out of my vacation to restrain some family that causes me another few seconds of waiting. If Disney can't be bothered to pay their employees to do it (when I'm paying Disney good money to do so), you better believe I won't be doing Disney's job for free.

However if annoyed enough I would gladly take my family and walk right past the line cutters and make a snide comment as I walked past them.

And exactly how would you do that? The line cutters would be walking...or running (like they usually do)...past YOU. LOL.

Well if I personally saw them cut into the FP line, I'd let them run in front of me, then when I finally catch up with them I'd call them on it and put my family in front of theirs. Usually when you're doing something illegal (for lack of a better term lol) you want as little attention as possible brought upon you so I doubt they'd even say anything. Source: did dumb things when I was really small, was always paranoid while it was happening.

If caught you have to immediately go to the nearest counter service and pay for the outrageously priced counter service food. You would never do it again.

We saw more than one group of line cutters get escorted out of Space this past week on different days. They hopped the FP line and found the 2nd set of turn styles was manned and working. One group made an excuse. The others admitted hopping the barrier. Both were escorted out of the ride by a cast member.

In WDW, I have never seen a single CM do anything about it. Although, most people who cut in the line say they are meeting with family and then I have heard them tell CMs that their families must have already ridden the attraction and the CMs put them on anyway. I have seen that at Test Track, Goofy's, Pirates, Big Thunder (and those lines are too tight to push your way through), Splash, and more.

We were in DLR last month and line cutting there is INSANE. I have never seen anything like it in WDW. People would literally walk through roped off areas and crawl over short fences and bushes to cut lines. Haunted Mansion was the worst. People cut all the way up to where you entered into the mansion. Crazy. CMs saw them and did not say a word. Not one single word. It happened a lot more in DLR than I have ever seen it in WDW.

If the second checkpoint is covered, it isn't staffed.

We just got back after 9 days and every single 2nd checkpoint was manned on every ride. Every ride that had line hopping abilities had the 2nd turn style turned on and line cutters were escorted out.

When we were there in August, it was the same - 2nd check was manned. Never saw a line hopper though. Everyone ahead of us tapped green and got through.

I know it would probably end in confusion, but why not just make the second tap spot the only tap spot? Have the FP lines well marked with a clock showing the time available to go through. I know this may sound harsh, but if you can't figure it out being that well marked then I guess youd waste some of your time.

Last week, we saw people skip in Space and then walk back to the end later. We were only stopped to scan a second time on Splash, I believe. Maybe it was BTMRR.

Why have a second checkpoint? Jusy have one before the ride. If you have a FP you on if not your not, if you too stupid to know which line to get in , walking all the way back and waiting on line again will educated you quickly...

This customer service mentality of allowing out right cheating or stealing needs to stop and now , its ruining our country.

We need to start rewarding people who follow the rules and do things correctly.......and punishing those who break the rules.

You could end line cutting instantly by posting a sign prominatly that says all line cutter will be ejected from the park. Let those over privleged , self centered kids explain to Mom and Dad why they just wasted there park tickets.


Honestly WDW id better off without their money, if they are cheating there ....guarenteed they are doing it else where.

 

[Skywise]

They would send them to that place the bad people go in the Black Hole...

This is how it has been on all of my 20+ WDW visits. In DLR, each ride only had CMs at the loading area.

I was on space with about a 10 minute line when one of the gate was opened near where you get in about 10 to 15 people walked right over just in front of me ( it was a case of follow the leader) when they got to the FP point none had a FP what a surprised the CM sent them to the left I got up there and the CM was surprised I had a FP I just said yah the gate is opened near the front and people are just walking over. she got on a phone right after I said this ( I think she was calling someone to close it.

another line jumper. I was waiting for the bathroom I was in line for about 10 minutes ( yes the line was long) and a mother and her daughter just came right on thought never stopped never said anything ( you know I am so sorry she really needs to go) and when I was in the stall going I could hear some guest giving her they pice of mind for what she did.

Where does Disney send line-cutters?

Many times, sadly, they send them onto the ride.

I thought folks were kidding about tour groups until this group cut in line and nearly semt my wheelchair and me on the floor! I was in shock my wife nearly went mad. I am pleased to say the CM did not tolerate this and they were sent off to ride completely! He actually said shame on you guys. She's in a wheelchair. I said yes please don't make me more disabled than I am...

I was there a few months ago and very few of the 2nd checkpoints were turned on. I'm glad to see they've at least made a weak attempt to stop line cutters.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

They force them to ride Stitch's Great Escape. TWICE.

 

[tj6285]

Saw a family turned away in the Soarin' FP+ line at the second checkpoint. They had to turn around and walk back out the way they came to rejoin the standby line at the end.

Now that's what I call a walk of shame!

 

[hookedonears]

If someone jumps into the FP line for Space or BTMRR, and then gets caught at the second FP scan...where do the CMs send them? The chicken exit I guess?

(Imagine waiting 20+ minutes for Space, jumping the line, then getting sent to the end of the line, realizing they now have to wait all over again...)

Depends upon which park. If caught, they'll be sentenced to ride the following attractions multiple times:
MK - Stitch
EPCOT - Figment
AK - Kali River Rapids
DHS - Great Movie Ride

 

[JRawkSteady]

From personal experience, the way it is handled is dependent upon the CM. Some will take an "I don't care" attitude, while others will find a creative way to exit them from the attraction.
