I’m just in it for the parking

The only negative thing about our Christmas week trip to Walt Disney World were the supposedly handicapped people.
At Disney, you can rent a power chair for $69.00 for the day. That seems pricey, but that chair acts as a dream fastpass, allowing you to advance to the front of the line with an unlimited number of your friends/family. Apparently the word is out on that because there were countless people who had no noticeable disability riding in wheelchairs. Then you have your usual overweight lazy people who are perfectly capable of walking but would rather sit on their fat @$$ and be pushed around.
If you had a disability, would you pick Disney’s busiest week of the year to visit? I wouldn’t. I would come a few weeks earlier or later when there are few tourists and plenty of room to move around. That way, I wouldn’t inconvenience myself or others.
If you were confined to a wheelchair, would you really be interested in riding the Rock ‘n Roller Coaster or Expedition Everest? Those rides certainly would not improve you ailment.
Now I have no problem with people who are truly disabled. They have just as much right to enjoy the Jungle Cruise as I do. But when normal people have to wait two hours for the ride, the disabled people should as well. Make them wait, THEN accommodate them. If I can wait in line with a two year old and a tired five year old, then you can wait in line with a broken leg. At the very least, Disney should require them to show a little blue sticker (like you need for parking) before advancing them to the front of the line.
