Just saw this interesting thing on msn. I really hope it isn't true.

A report claims wealthy Manhattan mothers are paying disabled guides so their kids can cut lines at Walt Disney World.
UNCONFIRMED: Report claims moms pay disabled tour guides to cut lines.
According to a New York Post report, some wealthy Manhattan mothers are turning to hiring disabled tour guides to help their children cut lines at Walt Disney World.
The report claims moms pay the tour guides, who allegedly operate out of the Dream Tours business, $130 an hour, or $1,040 per eight-hour day, to help their kids cut to the front of ride lines
The Post's source is Wednesday Martin, a social anthropologist writing a book called "Primates of Park Avenue" about the insider details of Manhattan's elite.
"It's insider knowledge that very few have and share carefully," Martin told the Post. "Who wants a speed pass when you can use your black-market handicapped guide to circumvent the lines all together?"
However, in the Post's report, none of the mothers is named, and the tour group that is supposedly behind it denies it uses a tour guide's disability to bypass lines, MSN Money reports.
The man who runs Dream Tours Florida told the Post the tour group's guide has an auto-immune disorder and uses a scooter on the job. Dream Tours did not return a request for comment from MSN News at the time this story was published.
Disney allows disabled park guests to enter rides through a more convenient entrance, according to the Post. See Disney's policy here.
