Fuck my friends brother who went to Disneyland and got in a wheelchair and had a friend push him around and pretend to be handicapped…just to get in front of all the lines. Jerk! I wait in line for hours it seems and these dumbfucks get to the front? Ugh!
Be easier just to go on a Wednesday, if you ask me. Man, the park’s practically deserted then.
Fridays in late September, people. You can thank me later.
As AP holders, my husband and I like to point out the fakeys and laugh at them. They get so screwed though if they go to DCA (where all the lines are handicapped accesible, har!)
Yeah, pretty much any time in September is the perfect time for DL or WDW. Only problem is that you’ve already ridden everything and it’s only 2 or 3 pm.
October’s good, too. Fine weather and it’s often easier to get down there with the kids, since many schools have a small break then.
You can never have too much Indiana Jones and Star Tours.

I didn’t think they did this anymore? And does your brother realize he’s taking a wheelchair from someone who may actually need it?
Fast pass.
I read on some fan site that this fake handicapped thing was getting to be a real problem because all anyone had to do was ask for a handicapped pass. No questions asked. And of course, it’s mostly able-bodied teens taking advantage.
This has got to be some of the jerkiest behavior I’ve heard of in a while.
Happiest place on earth, my Aunt Fanny.
My friends who work at Disneyland tell me that they’re starting to crack down on the fakers. Apparently they’re starting to actually check to make sure you do have a problem if you want a wheelchair.
Me, I don’t have a problem with handing out handicapped passes to anyone who asks. Mind you, if someone claims to be wheelchair bound and can walk just fine, I say you break a kneecap and say, “There you go, sir. Have a nice day.” 
Probably about 20 years ago we went to WDW with our kids and my parents. My dad, who was in his 60’s at the time could walk OK, but no way would he have been able to be on his feet all day and walk with us everywhere the kids wanted to go.
We got him a wheelchair and he was able to enjoy the day with his grandkids. Yes, that did allow us to go to the head of the lines, but I don’t feel that we were abusing the system.
Switch that out with Rock n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror and I’m in full agreement
Not like it will probably matter (and this has been gone over at least 1,000 times obviously with no lasting impression whatsoever), but some people use a wheelchair or scooter but can also use their legs. There are many diseases (spinal problems, etc) that make a person able to stand and walk, but not to endure a day of standing and walking.
But just to be safe- if you see someone that doesn’t appear handicapped enough for your liking, feel free to break a kneecap. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your concern.
<public service music> The more you know!
…and watch this space for the rant from a disabled person who was offended that they had to prove their disability before they could get a wheelchair. Not that I’d blame them; the fault would still lie with the fakers. Just sayin’, is all.
It’s my experience that people who genuinely need disability services are usually the last ones to complain about being asked to show that they’re at least in some way entitled to them, especially if it means keeping the services for those who really do need them.
Although I still remember years ago at Disneyland where we got a wheelchair for Whiterabbit, who is one of those folks who can stand or walk but certainly not for a whole day, and while we were on one ride some asshole stole our wheelchair. Fortunately, the staff was so outraged they combed the area and found it for us again.
Reminds me of a vignette in Carl Hiaasen’s Double Whammy. The conman faith healer is looking for showstopper for his televised revival and auditions a man whose been playing the role of handicapped beggar for so long that when he tries to rise from hs chair on the preacher’s cue, he finds he’s actually lost the use of his legs.
Not a rant, but my friend had this exact experience at Sea World. She has two shriveled up legs from polio and can’t walk- uses a wheelchair 100% of the time and some asshole ticket seller gave her the third degree. No, I personally don’t think someone (particularly someone who pretty much doesn’t even have LEGS) should have to give out their freaking medical history in order to use services provided for the disabled. I can understand saying what the nature of the disability is if it’s not obvious, but it’s sometimes taken to extremes. This is, of course, thanks to asshole fakers.
