Capitalism's Crippled Economy - All You Need Is (More) Money

"After a visit to Disney World a Manhattan mother (who requested anonymity) explained how she and her family had jumped the long queues for the rides.

'The rules at Disney World allows anyone who needs a wheelchair to use a separate entrance for the rides, and bring up to six guests with them. A friend in Manhattan gave me the phone number for Dream Tours Florida and told me I could hire a black-market disabled guide from them for $130 an hour. I did and they escorted me, my husband and two children through the park in a motorised scooter with a 'handicapped' sign on it. We waited less than a minute to get on the 'It's a Small World' ride, when other kids had to wait for over two hours. This is how the 1% does Disney.'"

After a brief google of ticket prices for Disney World it becomes apparent that under threes go free (but presumably they have to be accompanied?), under tens come in at $97, including tax and over tens are just over $101 each.
 About $400 for a family of four for one day - but for those with the extra cash just figure in about another $1000 to speed up the waiting process - and if you want to eat - - -
