Breaking the rules a little

All four parks, waterparks, and other magic in Central Florida

Do you sneak drinks and food on rides, climb through/over railings, or pretend to ignore stroller parking and bring strollers inside anyways?

No, those people disgust me

I'm always tempted to, but I don't do it because I know why its important now.

The only thing I've done was keep a bottle of water in my bag.

I'm with Trekty. The only thing I do is keep a bottle of water in my bag. I have asthma and sometimes I start coughing and the water helps. I feel it's better to have water with me then drive everyone crazy with coughing.

I've never done anything that could be dangerous (climbing over railings). But I've probably brought some sort of food or drink where I wasn't supposed to.

We've cut through/climbed through railings if there was no one in the queue but all the gates were still set for a long line. That's as wild as I am... :P

Those people don't disgust me, but I don't do that. (I might have food/water in my bag, but I'm not consuming it while in line or on the ride.)

Traveling with a toddler about the worst that I have done is carry some water for the little one.

I don't see this as much at Disney as I do at other theme parks. maybe it's the family atmosphere. :nemo:

I don't eat or drink on the attraction itself. Why would you? You'd be missing out. Also, if you spill something, the poor CMs gotta clean it up for you. Like the time my roommate spilled all her jelly beans in PoTC.

And yeah, I do hop over or under the chains if there's simply a huge gap, and I don't want to be zigzagging all over the place.

I can't say that I've done any of those things. Now I do have my bottle of water always on me, but that's about it.

Like stated in an earlier post, I have crawled under railings only if there is no one in the line and it saves walking allll the way around. Also, having two small children I have carried bottles of water and some granola bars with me in my bag. We, of course, do not eat them in line or on rides or attractions though. I do obey the stroller parking.

I most be the big bad wolf. I carry a water squeeze bottle with Capt'n Morgans in it (looks like apple juice). It saves a ton of money at the parks (remember no alcohol in the MK). I've done this for years and have never heard word one from a CM. It's not like I even hide it. I walk in the parks holding it.

I'd have to say the same thing.

Food on rides.. Nope.

Drink on rides.. Sometimes. Now I'm not likely to get my drink out on something like Tower of Terror, Space Mountain or Expedition Everest etc, but I have had a quick sip of my drink on some of the dark rides.. Small World, Spaceship Earth, etc.. But only once in a while.. And only really if my throat is dry. More often than not I'll wait until I'm outside again.

Hopping over or through railings.. Not really. If there's no queue I've very rarely gone through the railings to cut out the long empty queue line, but most certainly not to cut in line!

Strollers.. Never had one with me in the park, so.. meh. It does, however, really annoy me how people just dump them anywhere. Don't get me started on that. You might end up with me recalling the time I was working on the ice cream stand opposite the Indiana Jones show and people dumping their strollers *right in front* of my cart and rushing into the show.. despite me informing them that they can't park it there..
