5. Food on the go

There are so many amazing things to eat in Walt Disney World, but food just doesn't need to be brought in line. No one knows if others are sensitive to smells or have food allergies. It's rude and inconsiderate to put others at risk. That food may smell fantastic for a couple seconds, but an hour of smelling it can make someone feel sick. Why would they want to stand in line with it anyways?
6. "2-4-6-8 Who do we not appreciate?"

It's awesome that groups have favorite chants, but maybe a small enclosed area isn't the right place to showcase these particular talents . I'm sure these guests think each chant is fantastic, and at their cheerleading competition or football game it probably is. But at Walt Disney World it's just... rude. It's too loud and makes it hard for anyone to carry on a conversation. Everyone wants the groups to have fun but just save it for outside the line.
7. A second shadow

Everyone knows that Disney crams a lot of people into their queues, but there is no reason for personal space to disappear. There is little that creeps people out more than a stranger standing half a foot behind them. It just gives people an unnerving feeling. Most people don't even like their friends and family doing it to them.
Plus humans just don't smell that great. They have spent hours in the Orlando heat. They don’t even want to be this close to themselves. Take a step back, and give people some breathing room. Or sweating room as the case may be in the Florida sun.
8. Who does that child belong too?

Children will act up; especially at Walt Disney World. There is no way around it. Kids get tired, hungry and are surrounded by toys they want. That's enough to make anyone get cranky. That doesn't mean everyone in line needs to hear a little princess or pirate screaming at the top of his or her lungs. Yes, the parents want to ride the ride, but they have to take others into consideration as well. Forcing an upset child into a queue just because of a FastPass+ reservation or something else is a bad idea, and its better to just wait until the child calms down before walking into what will probably be a small, somewhat enclosed space.
9. Skipping the line

Line skipping isn't just annoying, it is a serious offense. No matter whether you see someone blasting past everyone in line without a care in the world, or a large group of people "joining" their one friend who just happened to be at the front of the queue, line jumping is never OK, and Disney has a firm policy in place when it comes to guests who break this rule: ejection. Though you'll have to do something especially egregious to get a lifetime ban from Disney, if you are jumping in line you can count on security showing up, pulling you out of the line and escorting you back to the park entrance.
Though these guest behaviors are certainly some of the most annoying, this list certainly isn't exhaustive. Have you ever had any memorable run-ins with unsavory guests?

in all of my times at Disney, I have yet to see them do anything about line jumpers!!! I'm not talking about a mom who had to take a kid to the bathroom rejoining her family, especially when the line board is wrong , and the wait is actually longer. I'm referring to random groups of teens ( or even families who rudely pretend to not understand English when they are pushing their way through!
I do not care for the people that belittle the cast members or others. I also do not care for those that belittle things about Walt Disney World. If you can not be nice, take your business elsewhere.
Another one missed would be, standing in line with group of teenagers, school class from a Spanish speaking country. They are load talkers.
The parent(s) that feel, because they came to the parade later than you, that their child has a right to come the front and stand to see the parade. Squeezing you over or stepping on you. I know the parades are especially for the little ones but you lack of panning does not constitute me to babysit your child!! just last week my granddaughter and I sat on a sttop in front of Peco Bills ( asked permission if we could sit there) and waited 45 mins for the parade. 20 mins before it started this little boy ( maybe 5?) stepped up and started to assert himself into our space. I looked around and I believe I saw his parents about f people back looking over to him!! They did not as us if we minded, they certainly were not near by to keep him form stepping into the parade route, which he did. I was (by instinct) telling him to step back several times!! This is your child, not mine! but the guy next to me could be a pedophile, but you are to far away to know what is happening..
I think the ideal way to solve the line cutting problem to have an extra Cast Member mid-line. Especially on Soarin' where there are no clear lanes, people will not move because they're sitting down because they're tired of standing.....THEY ARE TEENAGERS. And then of course, this leaves plenty of room for 2 or 3 of them to walk right past you in line and say..."My Mom and Dad are waiting for us "up there". Rude is not even the word for it, but, rudeness DOES begin at home. Again, some people come to Disney with a list of entitlements. #9
