A woman spoke out after her husband admitted he planned to “hire” a disabled person to skip Disneyland queues.
In a viral Mumsnet post. A woman revealed she and her husband plan to visit Disneyland Paris in October.
While she looked forward to the trip, her husband’s idea made her uneasy.
He suggested hiring a disabled person online to join them, just to access the disability pass and skip lines.
“I didn’t even know these things existed,” she wrote, shocked.
She mentioned people using disabled relatives to bypass queues for rides and character meet-and-greets.
She also shared a website where a man offers this exact service for just over $100 a day, promising a “seamless and fun” Disney experience.
Despite her clear discomfort, the woman asked Mumsnet users if she was overreacting — or if using the scheme was acceptable.
“Can anyone corroborate this? It seems mad to me and beyond unethical,” she wrote.
“AIBU [am I being unreasonable] or should we really use someone like this to help us skip queues?”
As expected, the post sparked outrage.
One user responded, “It’s a terrible thing to do.”
They shared how their sister took her severely disabled, non-verbal autistic niece to Disneyland Paris.
Due to fake queue jumpers in the disabled line, a genuinely disabled boy missed his ride.
His mom had worked hard to help him understand the wait.
When the ride broke down, he had a meltdown.
“Yay for all the selfish gits who took his treat,” the commenter added.
Yes — safe to say, this is a very bad idea.
The overwhelming response called it unethical, selfish, and exploitative.
One user said it felt “super icky” and pointed out the discomfort of spending the day with a stranger.
Another, a parent of two disabled kids, slammed the husband’s plan, blaming such behavior for Disney tightening access rules.
Bottom line: the community sees this as taking advantage of a system meant for people with real needs.
