Hire a handicap to bypass lines (20)
“You can’t go to Disney without a tour concierge...This is how the 1 percent does Disney.”
Typical attitude of the wealthy " elitists " who perceive themselves to be better than the rest, sickening!

Adalstef: Disney World is investigating news that a handful of upper-crust Manhattan moms have a pricey, secret way to get their kids to the front of the lines.
Instead, according to the New York Post, the moms pay $130 an hour to hire a disabled, “black-market” guide, who uses her position—sitting in a motorized scooter—to help entitled families gain special access to rides.
How low can you go..
I just read several other articles on this. It's amazing how many people (who ordinarily defend authentic handicapped citizens) feel, and I actually find that I agree with the following: Where is it written in granite that someone in a wheelchair should automatically be served first and/or earlier? Just what is the reasoning behind that, anyway? And, do they really need five guests?! Also, it appears that some of the parks' (they're not all Disney, by the way) either/or tacitly or passively, tolerate the fraud, because it's done by their higher paying clients. For example, they purchase top tier entertainment packs, hotel suites rather than rooms, pricier meals, etc...One writer commented on the cost, and why doesn't that stop them. Look, wealthy people who can afford to pay someone $130.00 an hour for probably most of a day or even two or three days, do not have a budget to worry about. It is a disgusting example of the rich blatantly teaching their children that it's OK to cheat to get what you want. And rather stupid, for the times. Everyone does remember what happened to some millionaire cheaters lately, don't they? They lost their assets and served or are serving long jail terms. Not too smart.Instead, according to the New York Post, the moms pay $130 an hour to hire a disabled, “black-market” guide, who uses her position—sitting in a motorized scooter—to help entitled families gain special access to rides.

Perhaps because its less covert (at least it is now) than the every day occurrences of despicable fraud and pimping by the privileged few that is right under your nose?
Or maybe the other instances of cheating are more powerful than a mum and her kids and so more accepted, or untouchable.

So, doing something wrong is ok because someone else does something worse?

No, but criticising only the easiest target, or throwing the first stone when in no position to do so, or pimping off the pimpers in disguise lacks the same sort of integrity.

That would not had happen IF the handicapped person had not accepted the proposition.
On the other hand (let us make it the left hand to balance the universe) think that the handicapped person can make big money free of taxes and have fun.
I do know of a family with a teenager that had shaved their head for fun, then they went to Disneyland and they got first places and had not to make files.
Also, I do know of a person that had to fly to Europe but she had very little time to change planes and she had some minor problem with her knee, so she did use a weelchair for going to Europe (for her daughter's wedding) and she got all the attention, someone carried her luggage and she did not miss any conection!
Such is life!

One of my friends has cerebral palsy and we always made sure that he was coming with us whenever we went to the funfair. And the one time he didn't come we borrowed his wheelchair and my other mate sat in it and put a blanket over his legs.
Before we're judged for this, I'd just like to say that I did push him to school and back for almost 10 years.

I don't like that, but I'd like to know several opinions of disabled persons. Perhaps they think it's just an opportunity of earn money in a society where they have a very little place.

Not all the kids at Disneyland Parks are privileged. The family that lives across the street from me saved for three years solid to be able to take their two grandchildren to Disneyland for four days. They are anything but privileged. Please reconsider how you see things, (unless I missed some sarcasm! to help one privileged kid cut in front of another privileged kid

Who can afford that?

You're right Rohan, those poor unfortunate children having to wait an extra turn to get onto Super Flashy Light Mountain. We should send in U.N. troops to protect their basic human rights from the vile despicable wheel chair tyrants burying them in mass graves...err I' mean... helping the other kids take cuts.
You're right I absolutely should do my very best to become myopic enough to not consider children who go on thousand dollar a day vacations privileged.
Thank you for gracing my foolish mind with your clearly
superior presence.

No, YOU'RE right. I did miss the sarcasm. Thanks for straightening that out. (There is absolutely no doubt now as to what you meant). The world is wide... I'll step aside. May your journey be free from too many hazards....:You're right I absolutely should do my very best to become myopic enough to not consider children who go on thousand dollar a day vacations privileged.
