Fast Pass Etiquette

[mydisneygirls]

I don't mind if it's one person or an adult who needed to take a child to the bathroom, but on our last trip I was very annoyed that a family of about 6 (from an organized tour group) cut in front of us on Buzz Lightyear just as we were going in the door. I said to my daughters, I bet they do it ALL the time!!!!

They should have signs that all parties need be in line to board an attraction.

I don't mind if it's 1 person and/or a child. Most of the time they will be riding together in the same car so it doesn't matter anyway. I do get annoyed if it's a group but I would never say anything. DH and I always get in line together.

Is one person or five people cutting in front of me going to impact my vacation in a big way? No, but it's also not going to impact them in a big way to wait 5 minutes outside the line for the FP retriever to arrive either.

Also, keep in mind that it's "just one person" until the family in front and the family in back and 10 other families in line get the same idea as well. Just like peeing in the pool or throwing a piece of trash out the window, none of those make a big impact in isolation, but if we all take that view then it really has a negative impact on everyone else. If it wouldn't be right for 100 people to do it, then it's probably not right for me to do it either.

I can say that I would have no problem at all, why worry about something so minor? it's your vacation. Enjoy!

[JRocker]

I compare it to not holding the door for someone two steps behind you.

Does it have an impact? Sure. Minor, ultimately insignificant, but still an impact.

Does it bother me? Minutely for about two seconds, then it is forgotten.

Is it rude? Yes.

As many have said, one or two people cutting won't affect my vacation. But then again, those same two going to the end of the line won't really affect theirs. Conclusion. Go to the end of the line.

This thread is rapidly deteriorating from the original poster's question into a 'line jumping' discussion....

To the original poster: In terms of etiquette, the procedure would be for one person to get the FastPasses for the group while the rest of the group makes their way to the ride/attraction you are going to take in while you wait for your FastPass window to open.

The group going to that attraction should NOT get in the queue until you (or whomever is the FastPass "runner") can catch up to them. At that point, you can all get in the queue together.

Enjoy your trip!!!

Besides - as narrow as many queues are - line jumpers always end up stepping on my toes, putting backpacks in my face (I'm only 5'3") or in my chest. It can be painful to those of us already waiting in the line.

My DH, DS 4y, and I will be at WDW in 22 days...not that I'm counting . We are formulating a touring plan now. We had planned on one of us going to get fast passes for an attraction while the other waits in line with DS for another attraction. How will the people in line with us feel when the one that went for fast passes "cuts in line?" Will they be angry or understanding? I don't want to tick anyone off.

Thanks for the advice!

Here's the question that is asked in the original post.
""How will the people in line with us feel when the one that went for fast passes "cuts in line?"

I believe she is asking what will people think when someone jumps them in line, thus it has become a "line jumping" thread. The reason it seems that way is because thats how it started out!

Looks to me like the vast majority of posters would really like you and your party to stick together and join up at the END of the line. While most if not all would bite their tounge, line jumping is not accetable in THIS case.

The real annoyance someone "line cutting" is that everyone has to move aside and push against other people in an already relative tight space. I understand what you're going for, and yes, it is only one person, but it disturbs the balance of the que. This is especially annoying if its a crowded hot day. (No offense)

We try to condense our time by one person getting the fastpasses while the other grabs a quick breakfast/popcorn/soft drink/whatever supplies are needed at that moment.

Sometimes it works out that one of us has to use the bathroom and the other doesn't. It's my way of DBF being less annoyed by my frequent bathroom breaks, but that is another story. Too much info?

You know - I wish everyone was as considerate as you to even think this might pose a problem. I see a lot of people at theme parks that don't even consider other peoples feelings.

I agree. And truth be told, if this happened to me in line I would think about it for all of a fraction of second. Just not that important.

[BrerSchultzy]

I will add my voice to saying it isn't wrong, but it's not quite right either. I don't think most people mind when it happens (we've done this when our son just could not wait to get in line, but one of us had to park the stroller), and as long as you're polite, most people have been very courteous. But this does fall into the category of "if you have to ask...".

[Quadstriker]

Use this as a rule.

My time is not more important than the time of the people next to me.

Here's another one.

Just because someone chooses not to escalate the situation and overlooks my rude behavior, it does not make my rude behavior acceptable.

I think everyone should get in line together.
