Wealthy Hires Disabled To Skip Lines At WDW

OK, it can't get much lower than this.

I'm reading this article with my mouth opened in utter shock and disgust.

"Crazy." "Freaky." "Awful." "Despicable."

Those were some of the more shareable words flying around social media Wednesday morning as people reacted to a story from the New York Post that "rich Manhattan moms" have discovered a way to skip lines at Disney World: They hire disabled guides "to pose as family members" so they can skip to the front.

"The black-market Disney guides run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day," the report said.

 The Post anonymously quoted one mother as saying, "My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World' -- the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours. You can't go to Disney without a tour concierge. This is how the 1% does Disney."

The woman said she hired a company called Dream Tours, the Post reported.

The Florida company did not respond immediately to CNN's requests for comment. But it posted a note on its website saying, "Due to inaccurate press and slander, Dream Tours is not offering VIP tours at this time. Our focus has primarily always been providing magical vacations for adults with special needs and helping their dreams to come true."

Really now!

Disney may want to consider ways to combat this, if it is going to be widespread and people are going to take advantage of it. Do what the airlines such as Southwest do when they board small children. Only the immediate parents and underaged children can preboard. All grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. will have to board with the rest of the passengers. So in this case, if there is a disabled family member, maybe only one other adult can accompany that disabled person onto the ride and skip the lines. Everyone one else in the family must be in the line with the rest of us. Yeah!
