Don’t Fall for “Cheap” or Discounted WDW Ticket Scams

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (February 11, 2019) – If you’ve been to Walt Disney World and spent time driving around the area outside the WDW Resort, you have no doubt seen all sorts of signs offering “Cheap” or “Deeply Discounted” tickets for the Theme parks.

Two words of advice: “Stay Away!”

These cheap tickets are not without risk, and the risk just isn’t worth it in our view. 

We tell all our Griswold’s Magical MemoriesVacationersthat other than Under Cover Touristand the American Automobile Association (AAA)tickets should be purchased directly through Disney (Note: Some companies do have legitimate discounted and official WDW ticket packages as part of an employee benefits program, so you may want to check on that as well.)

The ticket scammers are often selling you old tickets they bought because there were some admission days left on them. If you buy these tickets, you will be in for a potentially very costly and disappointing circumstance as you try to enter the parks. Disney will know based on the ways they track their tickets that you are NOT the person who bought them. You will lose the money to spent with the scammers and ten have to buy new tickets from Disney to enter the parks. Not a fun thing at all!

Remember, when the original ticket purchaser entered the parks on their first day they placed their finger on the scanner and their finger- print became immediately and permanently linked to that ticket. You, of course, don’t have the same finger-print so the your ticket will be invalidated and you will not be allowed the enter.

We also advise our Vacationers to be careful when purchasing theme park admission tickets online. There are ticket sellers running the same scams there as well.
