Line holders don't bother me at all...I guess I just feel like someone was in line from the group... well done.
What if it was somewhere else, movie? Grocery Store?

I admit it.... am a line cutter.
I am usually the one to park the stroller and I have stroller issues (need to make sure it has a perfect shady spot).

Hmmm, when I stop to think of reasons someone would need skip past other people already in line, this one never really comes to mind.
You can. But, I do not consider excusing myself and catching up with my family cutting in line.

It is not the same. If someone just "cuts the line" they are taking a spot on the ride that would have been yours, thus, making you wait longer. If you are meeting your family, however, you are taking a spot in their row of seats. Let me provide an example, since you are having trouble understanding this concept. We sit 2-3 to a seat on the Little Mermaid ride and are a family of 5. Therefore, if my four girls go in front of me, and I am not to go on the ride, they would take up two clam shells. When I meet them in the line, we still take up two clam shells. If someone were to actually cut in front of you, on the same ride, they would take up a shell, that would have not been previous accounted for, and therefore cause you to wait longer (probably about 30 seconds). It's simple math.
It's been fun guys, but I can only explain 2+2=4 so many times, before I just have to give up LOL. When a CM tells me I can't meet my family in line, I will totally give up my practices.... I'm sorry I will be continuing to EXTREMELY inconvenience you and you family by having you move a few inches to the side so I can join my family...I never realized how much this slight movement can throw off your entire vacation.... So unit the next thread, or when you see me trying to reach my family in line...
Peace out!

Not to mention, I've never NOT had my stroller moved to a different place by a CM. Just wow on this special snowflake.....I never realized the extreme accuracy that is needed when parking a stroller.
Learn something new every day I guess.
Quick question, If my family arrives at the stroller parking area just after you, would it be ok if I move your empty stroller back JUST ONE SPOT so I can park my stroller where I want? Or would that "throw off your entire vacation"?
I find it interesting that you make a conscious decision to inconvenience people that have nothing to do with your stroller issues rather than have your family all enter the line at the same time.
Does that really happen?? Does one person stand in line and 20 other people come an join them? I have been both solo trips and with my family and I have never seen this. So sure in that case I might get annoyed. But I have only really seen a mom or dad holding a line and the kids join up as they get close. I just don't see it happen much so perhaps that is why is doesn't bother me much.
What about character lines? Is anyone really losing time if they meet/greet a character all at once?
Not going to happen.
I have never had an issue and probably never will. I understand when a Mom has to park a stroller and the family is anxious to go on a ride, I would let the Mom meet her party. If it was a group of teenage kids or the boy who was alone and cutting in line that would make me upset and in my opinion (whole other issue).
So I will continue to let my kids go before me.
Why would you be upset at the one boy who was cutting in line when you are doing the exact same thing?
The OP is referring to large groups, when one person holds the line for 5, 10 or 20 people. This happens not infrequently at certain times of year when tour groups are common.It's odd because I think of myself as a polite and kind person but I never really knew this was a problem before I got on Disboards. I would get in line with my family and if it was hot or someone was cranky/thirsty/needed the bathroom I would say "go grab a bottle of water and meet us back here". Or why don't you "take so and so and go to the bathroom just in case". Never occurred to me it was an issue. We all got in line and lines can be long. So of someone needed a drink, snack, etc. no biggie. Of course, I have traveled by myself or just with my kid and that wasn't an option. I always thought well that's just how it goes when you are alone. I think I once asked a family near me if I could bring my kid to get a bottle of water and be right back and they said sure. It was an outside line though so easy enough to do And I asked if they needed something. Of course, in my mind it's different for one or two to leave a group and return than for one person to hold for a large group. Common courtesy difference IMO. I know that "cutting" is wrong but never realized that stepping out of line and returning got so many people's blood pressure up.
Or you could do what 99.999% of the rest of us with strollers do. Have your family wait to get in the line until you park the stroller. Your way is quite rude.I admit it.... am a line cutter.
I am usually the one to park the stroller and I have stroller issues (need to make sure it has a perfect shady spot). My family does not have the same issues I have. They go ahead and start waiting on line without me. So I am the one who you usually hear saying,"Excuse me, pardon me my family has gotten inline before me". This usually should not bother anyone because we are a family of 5 and I am not taking an extra seat or the wait for me before they get on because they do not want the Wrath of Mom.

We live fairly close to Disney and have APs. My kids go the park on their own often. they get annoyed with me when I bring the younger kids and the stroller. When they bring their siblings they just get on line and do not bother with the strollers. This does not happen often. But when it does I will follow behind them.
I feel like I don't really see this much anymore? But I went a lot during the pre-paper fast pass days and I remember it being a nightmare then with tour groups. Like, one or two people don't bug me, especially if one of them is a kid. We waited in line for Kilimanjaro Safaris for hours the summer it opened and our mom wouldn't let us leave to go to the restroom and it was a miserable ride. So I get it. But if I see a large group (generally 4+) then I get annoyed.
You want to park the stroller and your family is anxious to get on the ride. I want to have a glass of wine but my husband is anxious to get on the ride. Can I send him ahead while I sit and enjoy for a few moments and then join him in line? Boy what a time save for us!Not going to happen.

Disney rules, regardless of if they enforce it well, is no line cutting.Until you start wearing a Disney Police uniform you have no right to tell me what I can and can not do. Unlike you I am polite and excuse myself nicely among people. And I have never encountered a tight line.
