This reads like really weird blogspam.

I also wonder why they misspell the number "10":

> "With Disney’s VIP Tour Services, you and your loved ones (up to 1o guests)"

The only time I see a typo like this is when a shady website is trying to get around some sort of content detection mechanism, but I can't figure out if that's the case here – or why.

I am not a Disney expert, but I USED to be, so take this with a grain of salt. I've been to the Anaheim resort several hundred times. To me, this looks a lot like you can now purchase celebrity tours.

I briefly dated a woman who did celebrity tours for Knotts Berry Farm, and it was more or less very similar to what they are describing. She had given tours to hundreds of celebs. It would always amaze me; she would say something like, "I have Leonardo DiCaprio on Tuesday, and Tom Hanks on Friday."

Before you get too upset-- celebrities can't go to theme parks. Their mean-free-path in a theme park is something like zero feet before someone stops them for an autograph or to chat.

But I don't even think this is a policy change. Disney has always had custom tours.

Also work: wig, hat, not shaving, changing posture and voice. The a superior disguise would be to change the facial profile between the cheeks and nose.

One anecdotal counterexample: Bill Gates stands in line to get burgers late at night. Not everyone in the public is uncool, but then again, it's not an amusement park where crowds could easily go Beetles screaming girls street mob-style.
