Seems like a very Mill Valley thing.

Wow. I guess this is what it has come to. The level of entitlement described is slightly sickening. It seems like people who have the money to do this sort of thing have no sense of what is wrong.

I agree with Cody. This mom has so much money that she doesn't even know what to do with it. She spends it on unnecessary things. She is not teaching her kids how the real world works and that not everything is so easy. This is actually very sad.

That's disgusting. It's like they think that since they are so ridiucously rich that they can just use others to get what they want, that they are entitled to it. It's just not okay. It's kinda sad that it's still cheaper than a Disney VIP pass, though.
Another good example of people like this would be the instagram user "itslavishbitch", a 16 year old who constantly posts pictures of super-expensive stuff that he has, including buying out all the iPhone 5s in an Apple store and carrying 5 thousand dollars as 'pocket money'. His mom has a net worth of something around 550 million dollars, and he loves to use that money.

Everything about this is screwed up, the mom shouldn't be doing this in the first place, she's not teaching her kids anything about the world, if anything she's just holding them back. Also yes I could fully see a mill valley mom doing this. Sad

It is hard to believe that people do things like this. Not only is she taking advantage of someone who is disabled and using it to her advantage, she is also taking advantage of the rules that Disney puts in place for handicapped people and exploiting them. She feels entitled to do whatever she wants because she can afford to do so and doesn't see a problem with anything that she's doing.

This is perfect example of the "1%" their wealth in an unreasonable and potential corrupt capability. This article highlights pretty incriminating behavior. Using someone's disability for her own selfish gain is reproachful behavior that the park should strive to squelch.

This is incredibly disappointing that a mother feels she has to spoil her kids like this just because they are the 1%. These kids need to learn what its like to have to wait and earn something rather than pay their way to get above people. However, its not horrible that this handicap person is able to get paid to do this because I imagine it would be difficult for someone in a wheel chair to be able to make the extra sometimes-needed money and at least this money is personally going to someone who would benefit from it rather than buying tickets from the multi-billion dollar corporation of Disney.

Hey at least these moms are creating jobs for the disabled! But actually I could totally see this happening in Mill Valley along with our kitty spa or whatever. Anyways if this mother really thinks she is doing her kids a favor by avoiding all lines at all cost, I think she is deeply mistaken. These are the type of kids that are going to have a tough time when they realize that everything in life isn't going to go their way. I believe that if you are going to cut lines, do it the old fashion way and just slip in the front when someone isn't looking.

I think this is a really strange thing to think about. I think when everyone goes to Disney world they secretly wish they were injured or had a wheelchair so they could pass through those crazy long lines. However, I never actually imagined someone would basically buy a disabled person for the day in order to make their extremely expensive trip to Disney world more enjoyable.I think it is such a horrible place that this happened to take place as well, considering it is supposed to be the "happiest place on earth" people are turning it into such a trashy idea. Going to Disney is not something everyone gets to do in the first place, I don't see why these women have to rub it in everyone else's face basically saying they have more money therefore they don't have to wait in lines like everyone else.

This is just sad. To think the mother has to go around and spoil her kids far enough to ask a handicapped person to impersonate being a family member. Also these kids are 1 and 5 years old! I don't know about you but I do not remember anything when I was 1 and not a lot when I was 5. So these kids will probably not even remember this vacation. She's exploiting the system for actual handicapped people and she thinks that because she's rich, she's above everyone else.

This is disgusting. These mothers know no boundaries. Spoiling their kids is one issue but I know for a fact that if it isn't spoiling them in this way, they'd spoil them in another way. My real issue with this is the complete lack of respect for people the mother is teaching her children. These moms show their kids that it's ok to cut all of the other people in line and that they are better than them, they show their kids that they can exploit the disabled so they can do whatever they want, and they show their kids that it's ok to lie. These are the true issues. There are so many spoiled kids, but some of the kids who get spoiled still turn out to be great people. For example the princes of England grew up with whatever they wanted, yet they still turned out to be great people, all because they were taught morals. These families that are using the disabled people to get ahead are not being taught morals.

I couldn't help thinking though that if I were disabled this would be a great way to make a pretty penny. Just ride rides and get money.

Bear in mind the bias within the story; the headline is practically dripping with it. From the outset of the piece, we're being given most the sensational, outrageous angle, designed to make us detest what's happening. I agree that the actions described in the piece are totally ridiculous, but that's not really being disputed; it's more interesting to examine this story's techniques and selection of evidence.
