Report: Wealthy hire disabled guides to skip lines at Disney World By Josh Levs, CNN May 15, 2013 -- Updated 1344 GMT (2144 HKT) While some may use disabled guides to skip waiting, others stand in line for hours to get on rides at Disney World. Report says wealthy New York families pay for disabled tour guides to skip lines at Disney World "Black-market guides" cost $130 an hour, the report says A company named in the article slams "inaccurate press and slander" Researcher says the wealthy found it a cheaper, better way to skip lines Post comments below and join our conversations at Facebook and Twitter. Freaky. Awful. Despicable. Those are some of the more shareable words flying around social media Wednesday morning as people react to a story from the New York Post that "rich Manhattan moms" have discovered a way to skip lines at Disney World: They hire disabled guides "to pose as family members" so they can skip to the front. "The black-market Disney guides run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day," the report said. Social researcher Wednesday Martin "caught wind of the underground network" while working on a book about practices among New York City's Park Avenue elite, the Post reported. "It really is happening," Martin told CNN's "Starting Point" Wednesday. "I live among the privileged and powerful parents of New York City," she said, "and once in a while I come across a practice that's really surprising." She added, "It's not my job to judge." To Disney or not to Disney? Disney for the '1%' The Post anonymously quoted one mother as saying, "My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World' -- the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours. You can't go to Disney without a tour concierge. This is how the 1% does Disney. The woman said she hired someone from a company called Dream Tours, the Post reported. The Florida company did not respond immediately to CNN's requests for comment. But it posted a note on its website saying, "Due to inaccurate press and slander, Dream Tours is not offering VIP tours at this time. Our focus has primarily always been providing magical vacations for adults with special needs and helping their dreams to come true. Disney World also did not respond immediately to CNN's requests for comment. It's unclear how often the alleged practice may have actually taken place. The theme park offers VIP tours and FastPass service allowing people to avoid long lines. Martin said the wealthy people she spoke with found that hiring a disabled guide can cost less and allow people to skip straight to the front of lines. Disney World has also been rolling out bracelets designed in part to inform visitors when it's their turn to come to a ride. Downtown Disney to make way for Disney Springs Anger erupts People took to social media to express outrage at the idea of wealthy able-bodied people using money to take advantage of a benefit preserved for the disabled. "This has blood shooting from my eyes this morning," Twitter user Kaneshow wrote. "Wow, I can't even..." wrote Allison Cole. And Twitter user Ruth summed up her take in two words: "Con artists!" Disney brings more oomph with New Fantasyland CNN's Dan Bailey, Steve Forrest, Meredith Richards, Christine Romans, and John Berman contributed to this report.
