Oh so tempting..

[4fordisney]

I was searching ebay because of someone else's suggestion of buying tickets there. I found several selling 2 day park hopper tickets for around $135. That is so tempting because we are only going to get 2 days at Disney...and this would allow us to see more than 2 parks. I'm just afraid it would be a scam and we can't afford scams right now.

I know 2 days isn't long enough, but it's better than nothing!

Try here:
DiscountOrlandoVacation.com
Legitimate and reputable. And almost the same price as your eBay source.

Hey, thanks! I have looked at that website before and never saw that....of course, I've looked at a million websites...my head is swimming.

Hi from Ontario, Canada. My father inlaw was going to by his whole family Disney tickets to share. Sister inlaw (a travel agent) said no. any older passes are no good too. Disney now finger prints you when you buy your tickets. So they can not be sold again and shared.

 

[aka-mad4themouse]

No quite true. Disney does not fingerprint anyone. They use a biometric fingerscan of the index and middle fingers for all APs and MYW tickets. The fingerscan is done every time the ticket is used. If the scan does not match the scan that was done the first time the pass was used, the turnstile will not work and you will not get thru the gate until you provide ID.

The old Park Hopper passes still work and they do not need a scan.

Your FIL can buy MYW tickets for everyone if he wishes. But once the ticket has been used by someone, it cannot be transferred to anyone else.

Okay, I talked my husband into the park hoppers offered on the website mentioned! Now I have to figure out exactly what we want to try to squeeze into 2 days. I'm hoping to whet his appetite enough that he will want to take another vacation next year that is ALL Disney!

I just sent you a PM.

We received our 2 day hopper with DQ option tickets! Along with the tickets we received coupons for 10 free rides at Kissimmee Go Karts...that was totally a surprise! We also received a BIG stack of brochures and travel guides for the Orlando area.

That was quite a deal! I sure wish we were going to Disney for the whole week we are there, but I guess 2 days is better than nothing. I'm just waiting for my hubby to say, "We need to come back next year!"

So thanks aka-madforthemouse! That was a great suggestion.

Are those go kart coupons included with every purchase? I might have to purchase my tickets through them if that's the case. The kids would love that during our day off from the parks!

 

[4fordisney]

Bbbethei, I have no idea. We never even expected them or the brochures because the website never mentioned it. It was a wonderful surprise.

There is also a coupon book included that has some great coupons in it. There are golfing coupons worth up to $10 off, eatery coupons...some $5 off or 15% off or a free appetizer, attraction coupons worth $2.50+ off, there is even a McDonald's coupon for a free child's meal with the purchase of an extra value meal good at 6 different locations (one across from Universal).

I have read so many stories about people who were scammed by buying Disney tickets on ebay! It's just too easy to sell used-up tickets, and you have no way to know until you get there. I look for ways to save money on vacations (so we can go more often!), but I just won't save by buying used Disney tickets. It's the kind of bargain that can backfire.

I like ticketmania.com, but there are several other discount ticket brokers with good reputations on the 'net. You can save a few dollars by using their services.

That's why we went with DiscountOrlandoVacation.com.....even though the ebay deals were tempting it's just too risky. I would not have slept well if we had gone with ebay for the tickets.
