After all,
they were selling themselves cheaper than Disney?s own VIP tour guides,
which come with a Fast Pass that doesn?t let you skip the line
altogether and still costs about three times more.

The last time I was at Disney (last fall) the fast pass was free. You
just get a pass at each ride and come back at the appointed time. Then
you get right on. If you stack those passes, it is hard to walk
between the rides fast enough to make all of them and you are riding
all day.

The "handicapped" situation is so loose, I can't imagine why anyone
would pay. You just have to say you are handicapped and they will
give/rent you a scooter. Then you can jump the line.
Most of the "handicapped" people I saw looked like their biggest
handicap was the inability to stop feeding their face.

I detest Disney World.

Took my kids there at least four times, and once to Disneyland. In the
spring or fall, it's a fun place to be. In the summer, it's a place to
be avoided because of the heat, humidity, and crowds. Went there about
three years ago for a few days, one day in Disney World, one day in the
Animal Park, which we enjoyed more. It was around Thanksgiving, and the
crowds weren't bad.

Busch Gardens in Tampa is a lot better than anything in Orlando with a
lot less traffic.
The animals there don't look as "caged" as they are at Disney.

I like Tampa and St. Pete. Wife's grandmother lived there for decades,
and when we visited, I loved picking fresh citrus fruit off her trees. I
liked the beaches, too.

I had family in St Pete for most of my life, I spent every summer
there from about the 4th grade until I graduated High school and I
owned a condo in Treasure Island for a quarter century.
I did watch Tampa Bay change from a sleepy little retirement community
to a megopolis. now Pinellas county is one of the most densely
populated counties in the US and the most densely populated county in
Florida.

I remember Pinellas county being nothing once you left St. Pete. You
could go just about anywhere on the coast and find nice marshes to go
blue crabbing and get an ice chest full in no time. Tarpon Springs was a
treasure at the time!
