SOME wealthy New York mums are hiring disabled people to pose as family members at Disney World so they and their kids can queue jump.
The New York Post has found "black-market Disney guides" run $US130 an hour ($130.30), or $US1040 for an eight-hour day. Disney has a policy of allowing disabled people to go to the front of the line for rides.
"My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It’s a Small World' - the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours," crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.
"This is how the 1 per cent does Disney,” she said.
Passing around the rogue guide service’s phone number recently became a shameless ritual among Manhattan’s private-school set.
"It’s insider knowledge that very few have and share carefully," said social anthropologist Dr Wednesday Martin, who caught wind of the underground network while doing research for her upcoming book Primates of Park Avenue.
"Who wants a speed pass when you can use your black-market handicapped guide to circumvent the lines all together?" she said.
Ryan Clement runs Dream Tours Florida with girlfriend Jacie Christiano, whom the rich Manhattan mum indicated was her family’s guide.
Mr Clement denied that his gal pal uses her disability to bypass lines.
Disney did not return repeated requests for comment.
