Sounds like this was me! I have done this many times whilst on holiday in Florida - My wife cringes at my attempts to stop pushiers in... but 9 times out of 10 it works..

With a culprit I normally say something like "we are all waiting in line here" Gesturing to my fellow queuers, hoping they will join in with my shaming... sometimes, however I remain the sole complainer...

I have even resorted to using Google translate on my phone broadcasting in portuguese (for the Brazilian people)NO PUSHING IN PLEASE - Lol my DD thought that was really funny

I keep fighting the good fight .

Typically from my experience Its either loud British families or south american types that are the worst culprits.

It has happened so many times this trip.
Got pushed out the way in the ice cream line.

When I was sitting down watching once upon a time when people kept walking in the small space between me and the person sat in front of me.
I moved right up behind her and people then stepped across my legs.
Almost all were sitting for this but some people still can’t be sensible, they are so desperate to get a perfect view they become selfish and thoughtless.

I have gotten really annoyed with it this trip.
Every single ride that had any substantial queue (20+ mins) this happened to us without fail on our trip this year, often several times in the same queue. A single parent with a single child rejoining a family doesn't really make me think twice, but this was reliably groups of between 4 and 20 extra people. It's not something I want to provoke a discussion on necessarily but it's also almost universally one particular demographic responsible as well (not US natives or Brits).

I don't remember if it used to be this bad before, it probably was, but it is frustrating to know that every queue you join you will be many places further back by the time you reach the end.

Sadly it seems we are in a time where there can be no flexibility to the rules because people just can't be trusted. People should be able to leave a line to go to the loo or drop things in the bin, sadly its these people that get punished and sent to the back, when the people that barge through because their mother's brother, stepdaughters, next door neighbours best friend from school is in the queue.

I don’t let it worry me. I’d never embarrass myself by refusing a person from passing thru the line. Who am I to distinguish between a queue jumper and somebody whose needs require them to follow their family members. Iv let hundreds of people pass me to join their families over the years. At most it adds 5 minutes to a wait.
I also think it’s hilarious to watch kids diving under the barriers. It’s what kids do. It’s what I would of done. Good luck to them.

This is the reason I don't - the one time you make a fuss it may be more 'genuine' than others. It is, however, deeply infuriating.

Maybe a child and a parent - apart from that nobody passes me in a queue.
Keeps it simple.

We experienced a bit of this last time we went to Hollywood studios .mainly young adult men joining their friends .we complained to the cm nothing was done
Seems at time Disney doesn't want to upset anyone even if they are in the wrong

This is me. I've been doing it since the Spanish line jumpers in Disneyland Paris way back in 'God knows when'. Me and a scouser from Liverpool joined forces and nobody got through. I still do it in Disney/Universal parks but the Scouser I actually married doesn't damn well help me these days.

It is also the mentality that some of the group join the line and the others go to the loo and then just walk down the line to meet up.
Me and my family will wait for the others to go to the loo and then we all join the line.

Go to the loo first and then join the line.
