First Look – ABC’s Once upon a time in Wonderland

First Look   ABCs Once upon a time in Wonderland

In Victorian England, the young and beautiful Alice (Sophie Lowe) tells a tale of a strange new land that exists on the other side of a rabbit hole. An invisible cat, a hookah smoking caterpillar and playing cards that talk are just some of the fantastic things she’s seen during this impossible adventure. Surely this troubled girl must be insane and her doctors aim to cure her with a treatment that will make her forget everything. Alice seems ready to put it all behind her, especially the painful memory of the genie she fell in love with and lost forever—the handsome and mysterious Cyrus (Peter Gadiot). But deep down Alice knows this world is real and just in the nick of time, the sardonic Knave of Hearts (Michael Socha) and the irrepressible White Rabbit (John Lithgow) arrive to save her from a doomed fate. Together, the trio will take a tumble down the rabbit hole to this Wonderland where nothing is impossible.

Rich NYC Moms hire handicapped tour guides to cut lines at Disney World

Rich NYC Moms hire handicapped tour guides to cut lines at Disney World

The New York Post has learned some wealthy NYC moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Walt Disney World by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so their kids can jump to the front of the line using a Guest Assistance Card or GAC. GAC’s allow you and your party to bypass the lines like a Fastpass, and since Disney can’t ask you why you need one they are pretty much wide open for abuse like this.

The “black-market Disney World guides” run around$130 an hour, or over $1,000 for an eight-hour day. Not only is their “black-market tour guides” more efficient than Disney World’s VIP Tours, it’s cheaper as well. Disney Tours offers a VIP guide and fast passes for $310 to $380 per hour.
