Q jumpers
One of my annoyances at the parks are que jumpers and the techniques they use
When we were queuing at the park gates to access hagrids ride the other day. We noticed a youngish woman come to the front of one of the ques near the time of opening and start asking a family about what time did they start queuing to get near to the gates and various other questions to waste time and give other families the idea they were all together. As the gates opened she walked in with them. Once towards the locker area she beckoned her family members, all 15 of them to join her saying you need to keep up with her. Obviously a well rehearsed operation

I hate that ! Happens everywhere we noticed it especially badly this summer in California at Disneyland... parents pushing little kids in front of them to get through a queue. Their attitude being the others in the line wouldn’t stop a child... was shameful
Here in the UK you can get thrown out of a park for that! |

I must admit I don't remember seeing queue jumping whilst we were there, but we tended to use the FP+ and had an AAP for Universal. I was glad to see FP+ rescan points so that queue jumpers couldn't duck under the barrier into the FP+ line.
I absolutely hate it with a passion though

We found that lots of people were jumping the queue to catch up with their family. I’m sure we’d all like to send one person into queue then join them later. Also on hagrids we waited for our family to put items in locker, a lot of groups just then jumped queue to catch up with them.

We encountered just one family of queue jumpers, but strangely enough, and against all odds, have encountered the SAME family three times: twice in one day at Epcot, and again a few days later in MK. It was always the same story: one by one they would cut through the queue on the premise that they are joining other family members (the young girl, maybe 8 years old, would go first, followed by mum and dad, one at a time). The first couple of times we were a bit annoyed, the third time we just had to laugh about it. It was tempting to say something but I believe karma will do its thing in due course

It did happen to us queuing up for Mickey. I told them where to go. They think no-one will say anything like you have just said so they just carry on. I like things being fair so I always make it known if someone has jumped the queue. Just say something to them like 'You do know there is a queue?'.

I don’t have a problem telling a jumpers where to go as busyb said they think no one will say anything, I just speak very loudly so everyone can hear and both times the families have left the q with their tails between there legs

I saw it for Hagrids dad went first then kids and wife cut through. Was first thing made a difference of a 4 trains. Personally I’m ok if somebody has to take a kid to the restroom then return back to the party but sending an advance then 3 or 4 following is a total mickey take excuse the pun!

We've been doing the parks so long we just don't tolerate it it's either in Spanish or Portuguese get lost wait till you catch up with them or kick up such a stink with cast members who can see what's going on
We get some kind of result If my 2 year old Gs can wait 90 mins for slinky so can you We tend to spread out in the que as well and don't care if they are not happy no matter what Park I'd be asking CM to sortbit PDQ |
