Just a little in site. we were talking about having one person from the group go get FP while the rest of the group gets in line and the "runner" catches up in a few mins.Hi
I'm an annual passholder that lives 2 hours away. Saving places, cutting, or catching up is all the same thing and people flat out don't like it.
Because if you have an AP, you own the place! Come on! I pay all your wages, am the most important person there, know more than you do, and...um...know everything about Disney that could ever be known! Way to make insulting generalizations about APs, some of us actually do know everything. Oh, and if I want to be at the front of the line, of course I can meet up with my family an hour later. Just don't try and cut in front of me in line!PapaMouse wrote:Anyway, what the heck does being a AP holder have to do with anything?
Re: I dont care if your a AP holder...Well said man.CMGUY89 wrote:I will agree that SOME APs have holier than thou syndrome. I had an AP ream out a cm because he said she wasn't merging the proper ratio of FP to Standby. Last I checked we were the ones trained on the attraction so we know what to do. It just so happened that FP was backed up and a coordinator had told us to change the ratio. As for your plan, I don't think that is too bad. It just depends on the attraction you are joining them in line for. Some guests are kind of persnickety about letting someone join their party ahead of them. I never had a problem unless it was like 20 people. One person won't make a hell of difference and it is not worth creating an argument out of nothing.
That's the point I was trying to make to them. if it is ONE person trying to catch up, then it's all good. But if 4-5 people. I say tuff luck.CMGUY89 wrote: As for your plan, I don't think that is too bad. It just depends on the attraction you are joining them in line for.

For a group to go ahead in line while ONE person gets FP's that ONE person is not going to disrupt the line. and don't start with that what if one person from 10 groups did that. With the number of groups that send one person in line then 10 people show up later trying to catch up. The point of FP is to make your waits shorter, and this is just way of doing that.EeyoresButterfly wrote:No, his AP doesn't have anything to do with anything, BUT, to me what you are describing is SG behavior. Technically, the entire party must be together when you enter the line, it is line cutting, and frankly, it is rude. By the time the person gets there they may have to cut through many people, and those queues were not made to accommodate that type of behavior. The group can ride a ride while that person is getting the FP, or go to a store.
At WoF, that could get you kicked out of the park as that is considered line jumping. I love that attitude as I only witnessed one case of attempted line jumping, at WDW it is rampant because people have this attitude and it spirals out of control. No dice.
There is no need to talk down to me. I am giving you WoF's definition of Line Jumping. Take your children to the bathroom before you get in line. If thirty minutes into an hour and a half line your child has to go again, that is different than purposefully cutting, and for some attractions it can make a difference. For example: at some of my old attractions we do not have Flik, we have to eyeball the line and estimate the wait time accordingly. This does not work if peopel keep "catching up" with their parties. It is rude to the guests who were responsible and considerate enough to keep their families together who you then have to climb over. It is rude to the guests like Bru who use wheelchairs and then have to deal with you climbing all over them (read her incident report for just such an incident).And to let you in on the difference.
