Families with young children may need bathroom breaks, and families with older adults may not be able to withstand the sun for long periods. There are so many variables that go along with guests splitting up from their parties and rejoining them in line. They believe that if you get out of line for any reason, you lose your spot, regardless of whether the rest of your party remained in line. My family of four used this strategy when we waited three hours to meet Jack Skellington at last year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.īut some say that this is considered line jumping. It’s more pleasant for everyone involved, and the waiting parent is happy that his or her children are having other experiences. So, the parents decide that one will stay in the long line to hold their place while the other parent takes the kids out to enjoy the park in the meantime. Most parents would agree that a wait of that length is impossible for children to endure and not a good use of the family’s time and money. Here is a scenario: A family wants to meet the Anna and Elsa characters from “Frozen.”� As we all know, the wait to see the sisters in the stand-by queue is anywhere from two to five hours every single day – despite their recent move to the Magic Kingdom. The new system does require that disabled guests plan out their days, like others using FastPass+, and it (hopefully) slows the dishonest use of disability access.īut what about the everyday line jumping that most theme-park-goers experience? Now, disabled guests are asked to use the FastPass+ system to guarantee they will not have long waits. In the past, those guests and up to five other people in their parties were allowed front-of-line access at any ride at any time. Unfortunately, this sort of abuse is what led Walt Disney World to change the way it accommodates disabled guests.
When a guest blatantly disregards the queue system or pushes his or her way to the front out of some misguided sense of entitlement, it’s pretty clear that they have line-jumped. However, the line is a little blurred when it comes to defining what is line jumping and what is not. After all, it forces the honest guests to wait in line longer and, consequently, experience fewer attractions per day. Most people would, of course, agree that this behavior is unacceptable. With one of the busiest weeks of the year at Walt Disney World fresh in our minds – and the crowded summer season knocking on our door - I’d like to discuss an issue that evokes strong feelings among visitors to Orlando’s theme parks.įew things anger out-of-town and local guests as much as watching others cut ahead of them in a queue they have invested a significant amount of time waiting in.
