Since when is a ticket for Wet and Wild not good at Epcot? We spent the day at Epcot yesterday and stopped at ticket sales to renew our annual passes. The CM was waiting for someone from Guest Relations to speak to the people that had been there just before us to explain why their tickets weren't good at Epcot.
It seems they had purchased some sort of Orlando area group tickets that were good at Wet and Wild, Universal, and few other places, but not at any of the WDW parks. They were indignant that they could not get into Epcot with them and insisted they were valid for the park. They wanted to complain about the CM in the ticket booth for "lying" to them when he said they were not valid. Of course, he was right.
Apparently, these people had been misinformed and they somehow thought it was Disney's fault. I was reminded about the time when a guy who worked for me took his family to WDW years back. I had suggested he book directly through WDW Central Reservations, but he went with a travel agent who was not very well versed in WDW vacations. Thinking he had purchased a plan that included park admissions they arrived about mid-afternoon expecting to get into the Magic Kingdom with their room cards. After spending a few hundred dollars for a few hours in the park he decided to listen to me the next time.
