Title: Rent-a-cripple - Tim's next job?
Post by: ulmont on May 14, 2013, 10:21:39 AM
Quote"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 "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."

When I went to Disney World last April we almost never had to wait in lines, and if we ever were going to, we went somewhere else and came back later.

I loathe amusement parks. I hate everything.

You had the secret HR code that got you fast tracked, right?  :hmm:

I suspect the next scandal will be about Disney security guards demanding to see the cripples ID before letting him cut in line.

Push their wheelchairs into traffic, they'll jump out before the collision.

Was this bit of wisdom learned as a cop, or as a bail bondsman?  :hmm:

Stupid elementary school teachers let kids present home-made videos and pictures of their fun times in Disney World. And damn near every assigned back-to-school essay topic was about "your favorite family vacation". Thanks for rubbing it into poor kids faces. :mad:
