I believe its a gate that lets you get out of line if you get second thoughts about going on an attraction.

Opps! I guess I stand corrected!
Dennis-
There was a big flap a couple of weeks back about Disney changing from the heavily breaded chicken strips to less heavily breaded chicken nuggets.
There was quite a bit of concern as to why they were doing it and were children going to starve without their chicken strips.
There was specualtion that it was due to Disney wanting us to be healthier and other conspiracy theories
So...I did on an investigation.....ok...I asked Guest Services....and got 3 or 4 ridiculous answers, may favorite being that chicken strips contained trans fat and chicken nuggets dont. I gently pointed out that the chicken is not born breaded and containing trans fat...but that trans fat is added as part of the cooking process and has nothing to do with the shape of the cooked piece of chicken.
It all finally boiled down to money......smaller pieces of chicken are easier to portion control. Larger chicken strips come in a variety of sizes and if everyone is to get three or four chicken strips and one of the strips is larger than the others....then the portion size varies meaning that the cost per portion also varies,
Smaller pieces mean more evenly sized portions and Disney loves evenly sized portions.
I (or one of the other Podcasters....but I'll take the credit) off-handedly referred to this craziness as Chicken Gate...and it apprently stuck.
Yeah I am not getting the difference either. Oh well good thing we dont eat them. LOL. I probably have the only 3 year old that eats sushi and not nuggets.
I snapped a photo of the new nuggets yesterday. As Kevin already mentioned they taste the same except they are in a nugget form and not a strip. They are smaller.
ahhh... chicken gate.
