Wheelchair Fakers

[lady ulrike]

We rented a wheelchair for her. We were both in our early 20's, and I tend to look closer to 14. Yes, we switched off sometimes. She didn't want to sit all the time as that could make the pain worse, so sometimes I would sit in the chair just for fun. I'm sure if somebody saw us, they would think that we were thinking. But believe me, my friend would trade anything to have not needed that chair.

Yes, but I'm sure you also didn't run to the chair which is usually what these people that I'm referring to do.

Those experiences have taught me that you can't always judge by what you see. Just because a young person does not have an obvious problem or can walk a little bit or somebody switches off once in awhile does not mean there is a genuine need there. Now, if they start ranting about how they should use the fast pass line on one the rides that is streamlined, then I'll start to wonder.

All very true.

But when a group of teens go into an attraction with the blonde in the chair and come back with a brunette rolling... and I emote, "It's a miracle! One ride has cured you!" and one of the group says, "Uh oh, busted!" then I think I can make the correct call.

If a female fakes being pregnant to get a wheelchair,
Is she just some mother faker?

If a nun dresses up like a priest.
do they say that father is really a mother?

My cousin was a priest who led a hard fight in his denomination against the ordination of women. Then when the vote went the other way, he stood up and introduced his new assistant pastor, Father Vicky --- or as we all called her, Father Mother!

I had a less than wonderful experience at Disneyland several years ago. My partner has a disability where he can't walk very far. We rented a wheelchair from the entrance of DL and no sooner had we rolled down Mainstreet, we had 4 Disney Security surround us and ask us why we needed a chair. My partner informed the main goon that he needed it for his disability. Luckily, before our trip out he had the foresight to have a letter written by his doctor saying he needed a wheelchair to get around, just in case he was questioned as we are both rough biker bear looking guys. The letter was produced and the goon grabbed it and walked away leaving us with the 3 boneheads. My partner said he was protected under the ADA law and he didn't have to reveal his disability. A few minutes later the main goon came back and handed him the letter and they all turned and walked away. Never an apology or anything. We will be back in mid September and because of this experience, we have arranged for a wheelchair to be waiting at the hotel for us.

Sorry you had that experience, Tucson. That is very unusual. Hope you won't let it spoil your next trip.

Hi tucson & welcome. Your post really blows my mind. This just doesn't sound like DLS, especially Main St. DLS. When was this? Goons & boneheads. Hmmm.
