Are You Kidding Me?

This sounds like something Aviva would do ... except she wouldn't have to hire anyone. Or Luann.

Oh that is disgusting. Disney should take photos of them and post them everywhere. They are going to ruin it for those who really have disabilities. We had one of those passes for my SIL who had cancer so she and her sons could enjoy the park without her being worn out. She was on a TPN the whole time and needed the handicap scooter to get around. It was the last happy memory she and her boys had together.

If these families are so fucking rich, why don't they just pay the $380/hour and get the private guide who gets them the same advantage.

It would be cheaper to just pick up a used wheelchair and ride your way through the park. Or rent one.

My mom used a scooter last time we were at Disneyland and we tried to go on a ride, but they said they were closing it because of the parade and we wouldn't have time. They said they were only letting the people already in line go ... it was a long line, so I'm confused about the issue anyway. We weren't allowed to cut in line.

Ah, it's better to go to Disneyland in February when there's almost no one there and there are no lines!

It's not the scooter, it is a special pass that you get from guest services for people with certain types of disabilities that makes waiting in line a problem. Like my SIL who would have passed out. A lot of kids with developmental disabilities can get them too. You generally need a Drs. note.

But if we remember the cat lady who put her cat on the table at the restaurant, people will abuse accommodations that are necessities for others.

That makes sense Finestra, otherwise I think renting a wheelchair would be a very popular thing to do, hell, it would be cheaper than a ticket. You can buy them at thrift stores for $20 sometimes too.

When I accompanied my daughter to the high school National Dance Team Championship at Disneyworld 9-10 years ago, a fellow teammate had a yeast infection. She got a wheelchair at Disney and was able to go to the head of the line. I was actually embarrassed for her to be using that as an excuse to need a wheelchair.

Update from today's Post:

Disney probes sleazy riders
By TARA PALMERI

Disney World is investigating a scheme in which wealthy Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides to get their kids ahead of the lines at the theme park, The Post has learned.

“We are thoroughly reviewing the situation and will take appropriate steps to deter this type of activity,” Disney spokesman Bryan Malenius said yesterday.

The Post revealed yesterday that well-to-do mothers were circulating a number for a handicapped tour guide or a “black-market Disney guide” that escorts their kids through the special entrances granted to people with a disabled-guest pass.

Meanwhile, sources say more frugal parents are getting disability passes for their healthy children.

To save cash on VIP tour guides and fast passes that can cost more than $3,000 per day, urban mothers have asked Lyss Stern of the Web site Divamoms how they can make their kids appear handicapped to score special access to the park’s attractions.

There was also a two liner in the Post today that Heather filmed her first scene yesterday. So I guess they all settled, including Carole and Heather.

Heather's company must be doing well. I saw her products in the Land's End catalog.

Ramona is tweeting that she and Sonja are filming together today. If you can guess where, then she'll send you TrU rEnEwAl.
