Who says the 1% is different from the rest of us?

And that they live in a bubble, and aren't deserving of our worship?

The New York Post reports that the latest “must have” for wealthy parents, is a “disabled” guide at Disney World, so that their darling children don’t have to wait on lines for rides. According to an exclusive by reporter Tara Palmeri, Manhattan “one percenters” have been passing around the name of a “black market disney guide” -- an adult who needs a motorized scooter for mobility, and whose presence can take advantage of the rule that “handicapped” guests can go directly to the front of the line and bring up to five other people along.

Instead of hiring someone wouldn't it be just be cheaper for them to offer to take a local disabled person to Disneyland for free? That way they could at least disguise their selfish actions as charity.

I read about this a week ago. Disgusting. I propose that any adult found to be doing this be sentenced to one full day in the Goofy suit.

With all it entails, including the employee underwear.

Talk about people behaving like children. And probably making their children entitled brats in the process, giving them the idea that they're more important than the other kids.

No, with the head on.

Preferably in the middle of summer.

Let's compromise.  The first hour, they have the head on, and the second, the head comes off.  Rinse and repeat.

I got the answer - Put 'em in a Buzz Lightyear suit. With the AC disabled. In August. In Orlando.


And yeah I know it's a NASA suit design - but that's near here too, sooo....

They could have just hired me for 100 bucks and I'd punch everybody out of the way to put them in front.

[Clochette]

Am I the only one who has to admire the sheer nads it takes to hire a disabled person just so you don't have to wait in line at Disney World? It's like something a supervillain would do.

I suddenly understand how Danaos felt. (kudos to anyone who gets the reference)

This is just unimaginably disgusting. The 1% continue to be nothing but worthless sludge that in all rights should have been scraped from our heels.

And THEY bellyache about US being LAZY!

If this article isn't a hoax then I'll say SHIP THEM ALL TO PLUTO...IN PLUTO COSTUMES!

I support all of the above, and forcing them to have the Small Small World music piped into their headpiece the entire time.

YEAH! SQUEAKY-SHRILL REPETITIVE MUSICAL MULTICULTURALISM! Priceless!


The thing is, I've been to Disney and the lines, even long ones, seem to go real fast! This evil scheme of theirs is really unneeded and I waited in ludicrously long lines for five minutes (at most)...lines that would take hours to wait in in any other amusement park.

Now, that was back in 1991. I don't know how things are done now.

That said, the fact that these rich lazy bums can't wait in a swift-moving 5 minute line says a lot about their slothfulness. It's high time we started a campaign of "Lazy Powerful Rich Person Shaming". Make it memetic! A cultural narrative trend! It'll be awesome!
