True, but that is not the same as what is being talked about in this article, nor even as fst as the VIP tour, which costs upwards of $380/hr to use. The fast pass lets you back into a shorter line at a pre-set time. You have to stand in line to get the fast pass at a kiosk, and if you don't get there early enough, they run out of fast-pass tickets (because not everyone can be let in the short line or else the short line would no longer be a short line.)

This is a case of fraud perpetrated on Disney, and ultimately the average Disney ticket holder, by a "tour company" and the one-percenters (wealthy moms) who want to get their kids to the front of the line and are willing to exploit others to do it.

And yes, CWGUY, I'm complaining. But I don't look for things to complain about. I happened to run across this article while planning a Disney trip for our kids this Christmas.
