A recent Reddit story shared by user Perfect_Blood_3540 highlights just how frustrating entitled behavior can be—and how one guest refused to let it slide.

The incident occurred at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, specifically in the single-rider line for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. What should have been a straightforward queue experience turned into a frustrating ordeal when a family of four blatantly disregarded the rules.

A Bold Move to Skip the Line

The Reddit user explained that the family—a mother, father, and their two daughters—joined the single-rider line under false pretenses, claiming they had left something on the ride. However, their excuse quickly unraveled as they continued pushing past other guests with no intention of retrieving anything.

The Reddit post read:

My friend and I discovered the single rider lanes and took advantage of that due to the shorter wait times and it did not matter to us to ride separately. As we were waiting in that line, a family of 4 (mom, 2 daughters, and dad) walk through the middle of the line holding hands. Several people are disgruntled and asking what they are doing. Mom claims they forgot something on the ride. They make it to the part of the ride where single riders, fast pass riders, and the original line are all in a similar area. One of the ladies behind me screams “What did you forget?!?” Everyone in the single rider lane is fuming as we all realize she’s just waiting to get on the ride with her kids.

They get shuffled into the pre-ride movie area before my friend and I. We are shocked no one brought it to any of the staffs attention. Meanwhile, all the single riders are trauma bonding over this ladies boldness and entitlement. So when my friend and I get shuffled into the pre-ride movie area, I tell one of the staff what the lady and her kids looked like, and what she did. He says, at this point since they are already in the line to board the car, he can’t do much.

We make it to the car boarding line and low and behold, there’s the lady and her two kids! I stop yet another employee and explain the situation. She says she will let someone know but walks in the opposite direction of the rider operators. Then, one of the kids runs up to a man directly behind my friend and I, pulls on his arm and says “Come on Dad!”. We turn around and Dad is behind us. He refuses to join his family, probably because he heard everyone in the line complaining about what they did.

So everyone starts speaking louder, the whole line. What a terrible example to set for your children. What makes them feel so entitled? Everyone is waiting the same, some people for hours, why do they think they’re special? Why lie to get what you want? The whole line is loudly speaking so these people know exactly what we think of them. Dad continues to hang back and let people get in front of him as he hangs his head in shame and his family inches closer to the front of the line.

I had enough at that point. I talked to the people in front of me and asked if I could go let the ride operators know what happened because I’ll be damned if they are getting on this ride! I ask the people in front of me to let me warn the ride operators and they were all happy the step aside. Mom is blocking the walkway because they are next up. I tap her on her side and say “excuse me” and stare her down. She slides over without a word. I then tell the ride operator “This lady and her two children cut the entire line through the single riders line claiming she forgot something. You can ask anyone in this line.” She gives me the most evil, disgusted, shocked glare. I walk back to where my friend was and another woman goes up to the line operator verify my story. Disney Mom is trying to say both of us are lying. Then everyone in line starts yelling and telling the same story, determined not to let her or her kids on the ride. They were eventually escorted out the side door and everyone in line clapped.

Despite guests voicing their frustrations, the family ignored them and continued their journey to the front.

Confrontation at the Ride

Refusing to let the behavior go unnoticed, the Original Poster (OP) decided to take action. They alerted Cast Members about the situation but were initially told it was too late to intervene since the family had already reached the loading area. Undeterred, OP and others in the line rallied together to confront the entitled group.

Interestingly, the father of the family appeared to feel some remorse as the situation unfolded. According to OP, he hesitated to join his family’s line-cutting scheme and later admitted to other guests that he had warned his wife against it. Despite this, he still participated, which did little to earn sympathy.

The Growing Frustration Over Entitlement at Disney Parks

Entitled behavior like line-cutting is a common complaint among Disney guests, especially during busy seasons when wait times soar. While Disney Cast Members work hard to maintain fairness and order, such incidents often rely on vigilant guests to report rule-breakers.

This story serves as a reminder that fairness in the parks depends on everyone. If you witness line-cutting, calmly notify a Cast Member and provide a clear description of what happened. In this case, OP’s persistence and support from other guests ensured the family faced consequences for their actions.
