E-bay tickets

[kdmkdm7]

I purchased (2) adult 2 day hopper passes on E-Bay. Does anyone know if I might have any problems with these passes?
Is there a certain place at the ticket office that I must go to use these at Disney? Thanks for you help.

I've purchased hoppers on Ebay before and to answer your question, whether you have problems are not isn't a guarentee. It's kind of a crap-shoot. I've read no horror stories about it, but they aren't legal, and you're at the mercy of the seller. If they don't work, you have no recourse. For that reason, I won't do it again. We sweated it out until the final day of use.

The best indicator you can have ahead of time to reassure yourself: what are the comments in the seller's feedback? I worked under the assumption that if they sell and buy a lot, they won't risk their Ebay reputation to pawn off bad tickets. If they had bad feedback or worse yet little or no feedback, I wouldn't bid.

Once in Orlando, guest services at any resort can tell you what days remain. If you bought from a seller with good commentary, I wouldn't sweat it. If they came from an unknown entity, I'd have a backup plan, just in case.

Buying tickets off of eBay was a mistake. Retailers on eBay are not approved resellers of WDW tickets. All WDW tickets clearly indicate that they are "non transferrable", meaning that they are intended to be used by one individual after purchasing from WDW or an approved reseller. The one thing I would suggest you NOT do is walk up to a ticket window at WDW and tell the agent "I purchased these tickets off of eBay and want to know if they are any good." Because of the "non transferrable" clause, WDW can confiscate tickets if there is sufficient proof that they were involved in an inappropriate transaction.

Also, I've never heard of a "two day hopper" pass, so I'm hoping, for your sake, that you actually bought a partially-used multi day hopper.

I'm not trying to unnecessarily worry you, but those are the facts.

With regard to using the passes, if they are legitimate park hopper tickets with the magnetic stripe on the back, all you need to do is go to a park entrance, slide the ticket through the reader, and hope for the best. The admission information is electronically encoded on the ticket, so honestly you have no way of verifying the true status of the ticket until you arrive. Disney will not do this over the phone, simply because it would encourage the type of transaction that you have apparently completed. If the tickets end up having fewer days available than you were told, you will be turned away at the gate and have zero recourse.

I have seen people refused admission to the park after they bought tickets street-side that were actually used up. If you are staying onsite, just go to guest services at your resort and tell them you are unsure how many days are left on you tickets. They will be happy to check them. If they are no good (possible, but probably unlikely), then you will be prepared before you go to the park and avoid the embarrassment of being turned away at the turnstile. If you are not staying onsite, just make you first stop at the parks at the guest services window and have them checked.
