> Fast forward to an hour or so later, and I see the same family at one of the coasters, standing in line while I walk right ahead and past them to the front. I start to think -- geez, is this sending the right message to this family, that those with more can just zoom ahead?
I think it's great that you are worrying about this and that you ended up giving them your pass later.
OTOH, there's no end to these thoughts. Some families cannot even afford a park visit. Other families might have time but no money for a FastPass. Why is your ability and willingness to pay for the pass an issue by default?
That family might go to Disney every year, save up and enjoy the experience. You took a limited opportunity to go and hop on rides, you might have not done without the FastPass system.
> I do tend to think though that with a little empathy for everyone else, you'll do pretty well.
Another family could have used the FastPass more, could have swapped an airplane seat etc.
Ultimately your empathy cannot fix things / make the best possible choice, but yes, it's still preferable to not taking the opportunity to be considerate. And it will make you feel better as well. Win/win.
Though, in the end, it doesn't mean we shouldn't look to improve policy / systems to address these issues of imbalance.
