FastPasses? Who needs ’em when you’ve got real, live, handicapped people!
Some rich N.Y.C. moms are reportedly hiring a motorized, scooter-bound guide to pose as a family member so their families can cut Disney World lines.
Almost more amazing than the fact that someone would pay for this?
A Florida tourism company actually offering it as part of its services.
Families who book trips through Dream Tours in Florida are offered “quality based, memorable, affordable vacations, to people with special needs.”
Whether anyone with special needs uses it is another story.
The Disney guide charges $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day, says a Manhattan mom who claims she hired a tour guide using a motorized scooter.
“You can’t go to Disney without a tour concierge,” she said.
“This is how the 1 percent does Disney.”
The mom said a guide on a motorized scooter escorted her, her husband and their sons around the park and were able to immediately go onto rides.
Others, meanwhile, waited for hours.
The rub, of course, is that Disney allows each guest in a wheelchair or motorized scooter to bring up to six guests to a “more convenient entrance.”
The New York mother indicated that Jacie Christiano, who works at Dream Tours and is the girlfriend of the owner, Ryan Clement, was the family’s guide.
Clement told the N.Y. Post that Christiano doesn’t misuse her disability to bypass lines and says that she actually has an auto-immune disorder.
Right. And Amy’s Baking Company was hacked.
