Who would have ever guessed that a black market Disney existed? Apparently, a black market Disney is a very real thing; wealthy parents have been hiring disabled people as guides so their children can skip ahead of the huge lineups at the popular theme park. While most of us wait two hours at the Pirates of the Caribbean, these people are paying black market Disney guides $130 an hour or $1,040 for an eight-hour day to go right to the front of the lines.
One woman who was interviewed said "My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World.' The other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours." These disabled guides are being hired through Dream Tours Florida. This may seem unbelievable, but it is truly happening. You can be sure with all of the recent news and publication that this scam will be over very soon.
