THis past trip we noticed something very odd that we have not seen happen before. While ride waits were usually under 20 minutes, the cast members were squeezing people into ride vehicles. My MIl, FIL and SIL were together in a doom buggy at haunted mansion, then they put two couples (4 total adults) in the last row of a pirates boat, 5 adults in one people mover, 3 adults in big thunder mountain, two larger adults together on the barnstormer and dumbo. Then one night when there was NO wait, DH, SIL and myself each wanted our own car on thunder mountain but the cm told us if we know each other we have to sit together. Let me also point out we aren't 90lb adults! All of these happened specifically to us with the exception of pirates which was the row behind us. The two couples didn't even know each other.
My only possible understanding is that they are told that starting late December to pack rides to keep wait times down for the holiday crowds?? This is purely a guess. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know why this happens? It really made some of the rides extremely uncomfortable and in some cases unsafe. The pirate boat in front of us was so loaded down (4-5 adults in each row) that they started taking on water at the bottom of the drop.
