Third Party Tickets Purchase - Email from Disney ?

[hayesdvc]

Normally, once you purchase a ticket through a reputable broker, how long is it normally before you receive an email from Disney with the actual ticket number to be able to link it to MDE ?

You don't get an email from Disney. You'll get an email from the company you bought the tickets from.

Boardwalk Ticketing told me I would get an email directly from Disney. Thanks for any insight.

That's interesting, I've never received an email from Disney when purchasing tickets through a broker or third party. Keep us posted please!

Any idea how long this should take to get the email ? I was told around 72 hours.

I buy my tickets through a third party all the time and have never received an email directly from Disney. I'd check with Boardwalk Ticketing again to confirm. Not sure why/how Disney would be involved with this...

Found this with a Google search:

We just bought a few of those 5-day hoppers with water park addition. We got 2 adults and 1 child...and saved $182 total versus buying just the regular 5-day hopper directly from Disney. $182!!! That's enough of a savings that we may actually go down a day early and use that money to get a value or moderate room our first night before moving over to OKW.

The buying process was simple and 2-3 days after buying, we got our ticket numbers and those are now attached to each family member on MDE. I can tell you that our tickets were Expedia vouchers, though I can't say every ticket Boardwalk Ticketing sells is the same.

Hope this helps - although they didn't mention WHERE they got their ticket numbers from....

Mine shows to be an Expedia Voucher also.

And the voucher doesn't have a ticket # on it?

No ticket number, just voucher number.

I am unclear what I should have done, however, what I did was call Disney Internet help, gave them the voucher number (along with all the security answers) and they linked it to MDE for me.

I know Boardwalk Ticketing is being referred by another reputable site, but this is just really sketchy. This is exactly how the last fraudulent company did things. They took. Your money and then used stolen credit cards to buy tickets directly from Disney or other authorized resellers. They should be the ones sending you the ticket information, not an unrelated company.

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!!

After Disney linked my ticket to MDE, in a few minutes I received an email from Boardwalk Ticketing with the same information.

I don't understand what you're saying. Disney shouldn't be linking tickets to your MDE account unless you purchased those tickets from Disney. When you purchase tickets from a third party, they should send you the information, and then you are responsible for linking the tickets.

Whether Disney should or should not have linked the ticket, they did.

At the time Disney linked the ticket, I did not have the actual ticket number; all I had was a voucher from my purchase.

Assuming I had not called Disney, I still would have been puzzled by the time it took in order for myself to be able to link the ticket. I thought I would buy the ticket then link the ticket, not wait 48 to 72 hours for the actual ticket information.

When you purchase from a third party, there is no communication from Disney. The only reason there was communication with Disney is because you called them. For others reading, when you buy tickets from somewhere other than Disney, you will not receive any type of communication from Disney. You should receive the ticket numbers from the vendor at some point and then you'll be able to link the tickets in MDE. What the OP is talking about sounds sketchy.

I tried googling this company and couldn't find anything. If nothing comes up in an internet search, I'm not handing over hundreds of dollars to some fly by night company.

That was my first thought as well. It sounds like the sketchy outfit that kept popping up, reselling Expedia vouchers, and then getting shut down. I hope everything works out for the OP.

Yikes.
How much money did buying through them save you as compared to UnderCoverTourist and Mapleleaf?
