Let's see ... Disney's policy on fast-tracking handicapped people is not intended to be some financial benefit scheme for handicapped people. And why should one class of people be allowed to earn money in that manner anyway?

The facts as I understand them:

1) Disney's policy states "Auxiliary entrances are not intended to bypass waiting lines."
2) The people in that news story used the auxiliary entrances to bypass waiting lines.
3) Fast passes - which are actually FREE and available to anyone - may be procured as a way to bypass waiting lines. http://disneyland.disney.go.com/plan/gu ... /fastpass/

The only differences I can see is that the former is sanctioned by Disney, and the latter is cheaper, as well as enabling handicapped people to make some money.
It goes back to intent. Their policy states that the auxiliary lines are not to be used as a general bypass of waiting in queues, and that was exactly the intent of these people. The intent of the fast passes IS to bypass the wait.
Unless, of course, patrons avail themselves to exactly that bypass by paying Disney Corp itself for the privilege.
Which they're allowed to do, as per the terms and conditions. Seriously, read the fucking thing.

You are interjecting facts into this discussion. You realize that, don't you? :sulk:

Of course not. Fast-tracking should only add to Disney's coffers. I really can't see how the discovery and use of a loophole by well-off patrons to obtain a discount in comparison to paying Disney directly is so reprehensible. Those dicks are doing no damage to anyone, bar Disney's profit margin while providing income to handicapped people.

So what? What's that got to do with the dodgy cunts in the OP? Can you start addressing the issue and the various responses you've had?

Lady friend of mine worked at the Anaheim Disneyland. She said people fought to get the early shifts, because the late shifts had to deal with exhausted parents and hyper kids. There were plots to turn the closing fireworks horizontal and send some payback into the crowd.

Or maybe do it the established... and I reemphasize, free... way of avoiding queues that is available to everyone. Thanks for chopping that bit off.

Just curious: Why would anyone pay extra (via either mechanism) if there's a free way already available to all? :dono:
