You are 100% correct. There is nothing wrong with this at all.

The simple solution? If you are handicapped then you wait like everyone else.

Problem solved.

Honesty must be in your blood. I mean really, so you can get on a plane 5 minutes before everyone, you'll carry crutches with you the whole trip?

Never heard of, just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should?

I hope this turns out to be bogus.

Okay, if this is true. . it just points out that Disney is missing a revenue source here. Though I'm pretty sure they have it covered but priced to high (i've seen people get right on rides before with no handicap).

If people will pay $$$$$ to skip the lines, Disney should charge $$$ for a personal conceigere. Its totally up to Disney.



As far as Handicap, they should get a fast pass and /or ticket and make them wait the lines timeline (i..e if line is 1hr handicap just sits in a special place for 1hr).

Smart people with the right resources, will always game the systems put in place, that place a label of "I'm Special" across anything. They will figure out a way to be special, too.


Take all those systems away and let everyone be equal as an individual and what they bring to the table, be what they have to offer society. You will get the help you need, if you need it, by your worth to society, instead of it given to you because you are "special"

Default Disney World and the 1%

Disney vows action after report of rich hiring disabled to skip lines - CNN.com

"Disney World is looking into reports that some wealthy visitors are hiring disabled people to pretend to be family members so that they can skip lines...

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

Now this I found quite interesting. Yes, personally I could care less. Rich people are always going to get more then I have and find ways around the system. This is real life and I believe people should just learn to live with it, instead of getting their panties in a wad and trying to even the playing field.
