This is kinda an unethical life hack, but I have a young niece and nephew with autism, and both have doctors notes that can get discounted fast passes to basically any ride anywhere, with free/discounted passes for carers. It's ruined pretty much every amusement park for me, because the most I think I've ever queued with them is about 10 mins.
Apparently the notes are fairly easy to obtain, and my sister-in-law only found out through her daughter's school that these were straightforward to get.
I always stress to my wife that this is not unethical at all. We are raising two autistic boys. That is a literally insanity-inducing level of non-stop effort. If we get to get on rides faster on the rare occasion we go to theme parks, that is not cheating the system. Our kids have needs, and they have the legal right to have those needs met. Any extra joy we get from not having to wait in absurd lines is easily offset by the other challenges we will face.
Dude, live your life. If I see you in a fast pass line it's really none of my business what's going on in your life and what you're dealing with. I can understand where your wife is coming from but fuck what other people think.
