I love Disney and I agree with you people save and save and save to go. And it gets hot on the asphalt and little kids are tired and just can’t go anymore but again parents have saved and want the most out of their experience. I try to always remember my first visit with my kids because we truly didn’t think we would ever be back. However line cutting I really can’t stand it it’s just so rude however instead of getting mad my family and I have made a joke out of it. When we see someone cutting we just shout “Larry! Larry!” As if we are with someone named Larry in front of the line. It just relieves the tension and stress of being hot and tired and in line. The one thing you didn’t mention and I feel this is an important one is STROLLER ETIQUETTE. Yes I said stroller etiquette I’ve been to Disney with little kids and strollers. Strollers are like driving a car it’s crazy sauce at Disney however your stroller is a deadly weapon pleas don’t drive it as if you are Moses parting the Red Sea. You have to be careful with anything with wheels. I was actually taken out from the side by a lady with a double Disney stroller she just didn’t look she just took off and she broke all the blood vessels in the top of my foot sprained my ankle and he hit me so hard her child flew forward and clocked his poor little head on the side of my knee. I don’t know whose bruise was bigger the one on his forehead or the one spreading rapidly down the side of my leg. She did apologize but it did ruin the rest of the day and the next. I know everyone wants to get where they want to go but you have to draw a line at maiming! I also agree with the seat thing . However there are families out there that still teach chivalry and manners. Should you ever be in that position and my kids are present they would give you the seat without being asked.

Disney is fantastic but it is far more enjoyable if you relax enjoy the ambiance have fun with your group and those people you meet and be kind. Even if others aren’t. And remember to watch out for your relative Larry in the line queue!!

In reply to Amber. I agree Amber! I've seen and experienced that as well. When we're stuck standing leaving the Magic Kingdom after fireworks 1 night when ny niece was 3. It was definitely frustrating to see no one give up there seat even for her!

I am a 30 -something mother of two, and it drives me crazy when riding Disney transport (buses or monorails) that perfectly able-bodied young men and women don’t offer their seat to young children or older adults who are standing on the bus/monorail. We just returned from WDW and I more than once I had to try to hold on to a bus handle above my head, keep my balance, and hold on to my 7 year-old daughter (who was exhausted AND too short to reach a handle above my head). Seriously we are all tired and you did get that seat fair and square, but be kind. Please.

In reply to Vicki. Hi Vicki! I'm sorry you encountered so much poor behavior on your visit! I agree with you, that cutting in line is not okay! My sentiment in this article was that I don't consider taking a child to the restroom and returning back to the line as cutting.

I agree with most of your article, except the line cutting. We spent 5 days in Disneyland. There was constant line cutting, which was completely ignored by cast members. We are frequent visitors to WDW, and while line cutting does occur it seems much more rare. In Disneyland it was frequent, and by listening to such line cutters chatter the majority I observed were actually local regular visitors. They epitomize the concept of rude American to the point where my family refuses to visit Disneyland again for a very long time.
