For 130 clams an hour I'd hobble around on crutches so little Lord Fauntleroy can be first in line to ride Dumbo.

I hope this turns out to be bogus.

You're just mad because you didn't think of it first and that you don't have the money to do the same. Sure, it's crass but if company policy allows it...

Nothing new here, the wealthy have always paid for favoritism, good incentive to work on getting wealthy.

I disagree and think its completely disgusting and wrong. Again, the thought of just because you have more money you can make your own rules. They should be thrown out of the park and not allowed to return. All of them.

Now many of the rides have lines wide enough for scooters so they can't. Years ago almost every ride you could get to the front of the line with a scooter but now every one seems to rent a scooter so they have widen the isles so a scooter can wait in line like every one else.

Anybody who does this should spend a year in a wheelchair, just to see what it's like.

Do you feel the same way about people who legally write off deductions to get their tax liability down to $0?

To be fair, there is nothing in the rules which say you cant take non family members with you to Disney

This is nothing new. As a teen we had season passes in the 80s and always took a disabled friend with us to cut lines. The only difference is we didn't pay them to go with us. Our parents would drop us at the gate in the morning and come back to pick us up at closing.
