Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides so kids can cut lines at Disney World
NY Post ^ | 5/14/13 | TARA PALMERI

They are 1 percenters who are 100 percent despicable.

Some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World —by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front, The Post has learned.

... “black-market Disney guides” run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day.

“My daughter waited one minute to get on ‘It’s a Small World’ —the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,” crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.

“You can’t go to Disney without a tour concierge,’’ she sniffed. “This is how the 1 percent does Disney.”

The woman said she hired a Dream Tours guide to escort her, her husband and their 1-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter through the park in a motorized scooter with a “handicapped” sign on it. The group was sent straight to an auxiliary entrance at the front of each attraction.

Manhattan moms in the 1% are Obama donors and voters.

Nice lesson to teach their kids. Goes along with all the other nonsense being taught, like pointing a finger or pencil can KILL YOU and is grounds for Suspension.

NObama counts these jobs as progress and employment figures.

...from Despicable Tour web site: 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.

Ma'am, the 1 percent doesn't do Disney. If you have maxed out your credit cards, drive a car you can't afford, and live in a house you can't afford, this is something else you can waste money on.

Cost conscious sleazes could just buy a wheelchair and use it to get to the front of the line.

You wouldn’t know it according to how he just won’t come home from there. Makes a good living, loves night life, et al... divorced and went there and won’t leave. 38 years old and has a 22 year old GF (latest one).

He’s conservative but doesn’t advertise. Women there at that age and availability there, at least by his assessment are easy - and stupid.

I tell him every time I talk to him to leave that heathen city, but he won’t

I wouldn’t be surprised if these so called Moms are on food stamps, welfare, or other related programs. What discusting selfish people.

I tried it for 3 weeks about 50 years ago, came right back to the swamp and stayed.

As an aside, Disney’s policies here certainly helped my own family during a (bona fide) Make-a-Wish trip last year.

On the other hand, the fact that these 30-90 minute lines for certain attractions is a real problem for them, because you can certainly argue that it limits both the level of value and enjoyment received from their park guests (we never would have gone otherwise). But the place has been open for 40+ years now, so I guess they’ve decided they’re okay with all that. It’s certainly this problem that is making others try to ‘game’ the system.

I don’t see anything wrong with this. “I’m handicapped and I’m being exploited by being paid $1000 a day.” Who’s exploiting who. Besides, the story is just more hate the rich propaganda.
An entrepreneur finds a loophole to make money. True capitalism if I ever saw it.

Just another reason to avoid Dismalland. We have two nice amusement parks in the Pittsburgh area where the wait times are always reasonable-- Kennywood (20-30 minutes) and Idlewild (10-20 minutes).

That's all they should be at a properly managed amusement park. When we lived in the Tokyo area, Sanrio (the Hello Kitty people) ran a park with similar skill-- it was a reservation system. People who showed up without a reservation would be admitted only if the capacity hadn't been filled for the day. It made the visit a lot nicer for everyone.

Disney really doesn't care. They've already got their admission money and figure that people who can't get on rides will still stand in line to buy their overpriced meals and gee-gaws.

Guess it's back to panhandling in Times Square.

I carried a .357 replica Remington Derringer in a boot holster while I was there, never felt like I needed it more.

Bloomie wouldn't approve of me at all!
