Recently I got into a Facebook discussion about line jumping at Disney World. Someone had the obnoxious experience where she was in line for a popular ride and a group of people pushed their way to the front. Generally speaking, VIPs and sick children are allowed to do this, but for the rest of us it's exceptionally rude. I'm not sure if you will be asked to leave the park, but if a Disney cast member sees you you might be sent back to the end of the line. Regardless, people in this discussion all jumped in and said they'd certainly say something to the line jumpers, they'd confront them, one even said he'd "slap them".
I love Facebook warriors. I've noticed in life that people with training in martial arts generally don't like to fight in the real world, while people without training in the marital arts love to be confrontational and obnoxious.
Line jumping is frustrating, but why let it spoil your time there at the parks? Let it go. Eventually someone who is that rude and entitled will have it all come crashing down upon them, and it's not your job to cause that to happen. Also, let's say you do say something, and the line jumpers have a short fuse and take you up on your challenge to fight them? Is it worth ruining a family vacation and possibly getting kicked out of the park? Of course it isn't, but Facebook warriors and tough guys never seem to understand that.
