The New Disney Fad: Hire Someone Handicapped to Skip the Lines

The New York Post claims that some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front of long lines.

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. Not only is their “black-market tour guide” more efficient than Disney World’s VIP Tours, it’s cheaper too: Disney Tours offers a VIP guide and fast passes for $310 to $380 per hour.
