Breaking the rules a little

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

Nope... I've never queue jumped or snuck stuff on rides intentionally. I might have had a drink but only out of need!

I forgot about sneaking under the queue line rails if the line is really short, I didn't know that was breaking the rules. :oops: Sometimes it's just so much zig-zaging to get to the end of the line if you don't do that.

They don’t disgust me, annoy and disappoint more likely.
Water in the queues is OK perhaps essential on hot days. The rides don’t last so long that you really need food or drink though. (Medical reasons excepted) It’s just a bit thoughtless.

I'll keep the food/drink in my bag while I'm on the ride, but I'm not going to dump it. It's just too expensive. As for the queues, yeah, i'll duck under a railing that's still set for a long line but there's no one there. I don't break in line, though. I hate it when people do that.

Andy, I'd love to hear your story about the strollers. Must be terribly frustrating know that you want to tell these so and so's where they can get off but still have to be Disney nice. :-)

I admit to having had a drink in line before (though I've never spilled one), but I wouldn't eat or drink on a ride. I find that a bit odd (medical reasons aside). I've also skipped empty rows of queues once or twice, but I actually kind of enjoy winding my way through the people corrals, even when they're empty. I do that at the bank/bookstore/wherever else too. Just weird that way I guess. :wink:

My husband's cousin was married in Disney World. After the wine-filled reception we all went to Pleasure Island. While there I was encouraged by someone from the groom's family to climb under a rope and cut in line at an attraction I do not remember. Did I say there was wine at the reception? I got the dirtiest looks and comments from the other people in line. I was so embarassed. I felt like a jerk. :oops: So my advice is do not cut and be more responsible with the wine if you want Pleasure Island memories.

I usually won't pour out a drink if I've just purchased it, so I carry a large canvas bag to store things. Once my red beverage tilted and I had red stains. :oops:

What i have learned in life is that the rules only apply to those who think they apply to them. case in point. my cars tags expired on a Sunday. I thought i would be able to buy them the next day and even if pulled over, they would understand. $280 later i learned to buy my tags earlier. My brother in-law buy's insurance for his car for one month a year and thats to renew his tags...sometimes he doesn't even buy insurance or tags. i was with him when he was pulled over....they didn't check anything. happens all the time. heck i wouldn't doubt it if he was one who would spit from the skyway!

I have sometimes broke through an empty queue line, but that's really all. I guess I'm a bit of a square. :shock: or maybe, omg, im getting....older. :cry: I hate line jumpers...really really badly dislike them. And the stroller situation is getting out of control. Country Bear Jamboree is lousy with them. I have seen people almost kill themselves walking around outside of that attraction.

Sneak drinks and food on rides: No. There's no point. I'm on the ride to enjoy the ride, not a movie.

Climb through/over railings: No. I'm clumsy with my food - what makes me think I can do acrobatics? Although I have heard FUNNY stories from cast members about foolish people doing this and what happened to them, especially at MK. Simply put, it's not worth the risk.

Pretend to ignore stroller parking and bring strollers inside anyways: No. I don't have any kids! If people were smart, and came to the parks better organized, there would be not point to doing this.

I still don't understand the whole food and drinks thing. "Oh, I just bought it" Well, then finish the thing! Name a ride where they let you take food or drink in any park.

I'm too much of an old Girl Scout to ever do anything like that :)

Those people don't "disgust" me. I try not to let other people's behavior bother me. I'm on vacation! But, I try to follow the rules.

I was watching a video on youtube of the new Tiki Room and heard the announcement that you couldn't take food/drink in. Then I remembered eating/drinking my Dole Whip float the last time I was in there! :oops: I swear, I didn't hear the announcement when I was there and none of the CMs around there stopped me. But now I know for next time!
