Morally Bankrupt ‘One Percenters’ Exploit Handicapped
To Skip Disney’s Long Lines

Just when you thought the ‘one percent’ couldn’t get any more detached
from the real world, a story in today’s New York Post shows just how
spoiled they really are.

While doing research for an upcoming book, anthropologist Dr. Wednesday
Martin found out about a despicable scheme that some fiscally rich but
morally bankrupt parents have been using in order to give the lines at
Disney World the slip. Paying around $1,000 a day, these parents have
been hiring a handicapped tour guide to exploit the rules of the theme
park by using her scooter and handicapped pass to bypass lines.

As per park policy, the handicapped may use a different entrance to the
attractions, bringing up to six guests with them. The lines at the theme
park can be hours long, but one wealthy mother bragged about waiting
only one minute to get on a ride. The mom goes on to say, “This is how
the 1 percent does Disney.”

Among these rich Manhattan parents, the information has been kept very
close to the chest. “It’s insider knowledge that very few have and share
carefully,” said Dr. Martin. Because of the aura of exclusivity, those
who use their handicapped tour guide don’t feel like they are doing
anything wrong. Instead, they feel “privileged.” One can only imagine
them using their “black-market” tour guide with a smug look on their
faces, but that is, hopefully, no more.

Now the scheme has been uncovered, and it has been revealed that the
handicapped tour guide is allegedly a woman working for the company
Dream Tours Florida. Of course, their website makes no public mention of
their ‘handicapped tour guide for hire.’ But all this begs the question:
at $1,000 a day, who’s exploiting who? Let’s just say that Dream Tours
Florida should have charged more before being discovered. 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.
