Whatever I find interesting from shops to animals to music to New York to Bolivia. NOT ALWAYS SUBJECTS FOR THE LITTLE ONES! I allow my 10-yr old to look.

Who's at Fault When a Tour Company Offers Handicapped Disney "Guides"?
Who's at Fault When a Tour Company Offers Handicapped Disney "Guides"?
There's a new secret way to cut the lines at Disney, but it involves a serious moral sacrifice. The NY Post
reports that a wealthy set of visitors has been hiring disabled "tour
guides" to accompany their families to the Orlando theme park, affording
them access to handicapped entrances, thereby bypassing the lines for
rides. The tour company, called Dream Tours Florida, was uncovered by
Dr. Wednesday Martin, a social anthropologist who discovered the
disturbing trend while researching her book, Primates of Park Avenue.
"It's insider knowledge that very few have and share carefully," Martin
said. Apparently, you need a referral to even get through to the
business, as Dream Tours' number is unlisted. Disney allows each
wheelchair or scooter-bound visitor to bring up to six guests to an
accessible entrance for each attraction. A woman who employed Dream
Tours' services told the Postthat she hired a guide to accompany
her family of four through the park in a motorized scooter with a
"handicap" sign on it, and the group received special access throughout
the park. We're pretty sure that we can all agree that this practice is
reprehensible, but whom do you think is most at fault? Sound off!
