Boardwalk Ticketing

I've been buying tickets through Undercover Tourist for WDW and Uni the last few trips which has worked out well. TP is saying that Boardwalk Ticketing is the cheapest option for our upcoming trip. Has anyone used them? Any issues?

It's a legitimate WDW authorized ticket seller.

There are a lot of WDW authorized ticket sellers.
At certain times, one may have a better deal on certain tickets than the others.
You just need to check when you're ready to buy.

Always make sure when comparing prices that all totals include Florida tax and (if needed) shipping.

I did 3 times now with no issues! And same for us - TP show them as cheapest! After purchase - received an email within an hour or so with confirmation number to go on MDE and link ticket. Worked perfectly! And approximately a week later, received the Disney "ticket card" in mail.

I just used them for the first time this year. It was a super easy process and I was able to link them in MDE with no issues.

Is it safe to assume that all the ticket resellers listed on Undercover Tourist are legit? Right now they are telling me that Official Ticket Center is the cheapest.

Do I ask for a paper ticket in the mail or do I let them send me a code through e-mail? I'd like to be able to link the tickets to MDE ahead of time.

1. Within the bounds of common sense.
2. OTC is an authorized WDW ticket reseller.
3. You'd need to check their site and/or call them for that info.
4. You can ask for an eMail of the ticket number with many resellers.
Again, check with the seller.

Thanks for the response, Robo. Regarding mail vs. e-ticket, I was just wondering if one was considered "safer" or if there were any hidden drawbacks to using one vs the other. (For instance, is there any scenario where Disney would insist upon seeing a paper ticket before considering my ticket legit?)

Authorized ticket agents are a creation of Disney.
They are ticket selling partners with Disney.
You can choose to buy a ticket from them or Disney.
The tickets are actually created/printed by Disney.
The ticket numbers are maintained by Disney.
If a valid ticket number comes up... it's considered a valid ticket.

If you have a printed ticket, you could use it in case the entire park entrance
computer system has gone down.
So, that could be a valid use of a hard ticket (no matter how unlikely that situation might be.)

Ok, thanks! Just want to make sure I have all my ducks in order before taking the plunge.

One benefit that paper tickets might have is that some resellers let you return them if they haven’t yet been linked to an MDE account. But of course you have to link to get FPs so it seems like a rare instance where that benefit would be useful.

I just bought tickets from Boardwalk Ticketing last night...four 8-day park hoppers for nearly $200 cheaper (total) than anywhere else. I wanted to sneak in my ticket purchase before the 2018 ticket price increase, and Touring Plans suggested them. I do trust Touring Plans, so I took the leap. I figured if nothing else, I could contest the charge on my credit card, no big deal. Within a few hours, I had the ticket confirmation number that I could link to MDE. The correct tickets came up, no problem, and linked right away. They said I could also expect the hard tickets in the mail. Not sure what good that will do me, but I'll have them nonetheless.

Other than you can still use them, instead of a MB, not much. They are good if you aren't on site though

I did end up using Boardwalk Tickets too and my experience was similar. All appears to be fine - no issues with linking, got the hard tickets about 2 weeks later (the email with the number to link in MDX came the next day). Good experience for me.

Just purchased through Boardwalk for the first time. Their prices couldn’t be beat. Fingers crossed it all goes well.
