    Any “hacks” for line jumping, I want to cut lines more, lay it on me ITM friends.

    1. Steve

      Sure you do, Nick. You strike me as that kind of person.

      You can’t even get my name right. Did you graduate grade school?

      Wow, what an ass

      I had small children run ahead in line then parents chase after them. When challenged, the parents act as if they cannot understand English. Those who do that should be booted out of the park.

    unless someone leaves the line with a child, then they should have to start at the end of the line, the rest of the family can go back there with them…….An adult should know to go to the restroom b4 getting into a long line……..We also made our kids go to the restroom between rides . There should be no line jumping at all

      Or, they could do what the signs say as they enter the line. If the party is not together, they need to wait to enter the queue together. If they need to leave the line they need to speak to a castmember. They will permit them to use the Lightning Lane to return to the merge point and wait there till the rest of their party gets up to that point and then join them. IF the remaining guests get to the merge point, they will be held there until the potty breaking guests reach them.
      There should be no sliding up the queue to rejoin a party.

      It never fails. There will always be bigotry.o

      No one can predict when they have to use the bathroom so it’s unfair to say use it before the line. Sometimes there are emergency bathroom situations. However, one person leaving the line returning or with a child is no big deal. It’s when many people squeeze through while one person is holding their place. These are the people who are too lazy to wait in line and wait until they are closer then cut in. It’s been happening for years but getting worse nowadays.

    The policy is clear. No line holding. Your entire party must enter the line together and must remain together the entire line. How is this hard for people to understand? No, you can’t just sneak out to go to the bathroom. I’m a solo rider, who would hold my spot if I did it? The rules are there for a reason.

  4. Your forgetting the fact that your already at Disneyland where people lose the morals and manners at the gates. That place is a social nightmare where people degrade and engage in a brand fueled free for all of me first, you are all part of it I’m sure

    What a magical place! I think they need to come up with the “Hotel California Pass” Once you’re there, you’re not allowed back out into society. I’m pretty sure we could solve a lot of the brain-dead social issues by removing these zombies from social structure. I mean, Target, Chick Fil A and Starbucks would suffer losses along with the EV and Mini van market.

    Actually, every family I have seen cutting the lines in front of me have been white. 🤡

    Offensive comments are the result of low self esteem!

    Worst line jumping I’ve experienced occurred in the early 2000’s when large groups of students were led by chaperones who stood in line for them and then, after forty minutes, and right before entering, waved a flag and thirty to fifty kids would just march into the queue. It seemed to be a normal thing as Disney Cast members allowed it.

      Sounds like the groups of people from Brazil that we have literally and figuratively run into the years at WDW. From our experience and what I’ve read online it seems to happen all the time too but the CMs probably don’t get paid enough to care and do anything about it.

  9. Berrybuzz

    My worst:. 2 adult men trying to “rejoin their group”….in the single rider line.
    Hell no. There is no group in single rider, wait your damn turn.

    I was physically assaulted by several line jumpers over my years as an AP. A mom HIT ME WITH HER KID’S STROLLER. Another guest pulled my hair. One man who was easily twice my size SHOVED ME INTO THE STONE WALL in the Snow White queue, right in front of a CM. I was bruised, my handbag was ruined, and the CM did nothing. I stopped renewing my pass because the other guests refuse to behave. Hint hint, Disney.

  11. You make me embarrassed to be white…

  12. You make embarrassed to be white

    1. Phillysub

      You should be embarrassed just for existing

  13. Tosp

    What is wrong with you?

  14. Courtesy

    You all know “Mr. White” is an obvious troll right?

    And there is never an excuse for cutting in line. If one member of your party isn’t with you, wait for them before you get in line. If anyone in your party has to leave the line, everyone leave the line, or split your party. We just got back from a week, and it’s nauseating how many entitled people would push past to get to their “group”. It should be grounds for removal from the park with no refund. Hundreds of people in line would cheer as you’re thrown out of the park, and it would result in a happier experience for all the other rule respectors. Common sense and common courtesy.

    Sorry, if i have a young child and need to park the stroller while my family heads for the line, I’m catching up with them. And if my potty training child needs to ‘go’, we’re leaving to go and again, catching up with the rest of my family. The cm’s will allow it. Its fair. Only people with no children will seriously complain.

    1. Themagicsgonnacost

      The problem isn’t the parent/kid situation, it’s everything else greater than 2 and I believe I’ve heard this addressed where CMs said as much. Sorry, if your family is on the other side of me and your obviously abusing the system then your not getting by, if you touch then your gone so it’s a win either way.

    Is it a wonder why Americans are despised around the world. Acting privileged, manners and common courtesy are NOT being taught anymore. The lame excuse for this type of behavior is often…”With what I pay to go here………um doesn’t EVERYONE pay this price?

    Thursday. Oct. 27, we were standing in stand-by line at Buzz Lightyear and some guy kinda wanders around, forming a “new” line next to those of use who were waiting. I saw him and commented that he looked like he was scouting a spot to line jump. Sure enough he drops behind the two people behind us. He had two of his buddies with him. The line jumper had a smirk on his face and was commenting on the length of the line now behind him. Next thing I notice is that a female and two kids lined up with him. Within less than 5 minutes, there was 13 line jumpers in his group. Best as I could tell the people who he jumped in front of never said anything or if they did, to no avail. The jumpers played innocent and the jump leader crowed proudly about how much he knew about Disney World Parks the whole time we were in line.

    I have to admit, I was sorely tempted to confront him, but my grandchildren were not thrilled with the idea so I decided on being non-confrontational. But, oh, I so wanted to say something.

    I’ve ignored line jumping once or twice, but this was so blatant and so many people were involved, I really had a tough time keeping quiet.

    Problem is you never know how this kind of person will react to being chastised, particularly in front of his friends who he was really trying to impress….

    That’s what Disney gets! Now that they’re “Woke.”
