Transfer tickets to another person????

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

If these tickets have not been used since the new biometric finger scans have been in place, then I see no problem with the OP using them. WDW may say the tickets are non-transferable, but unless you have not used them with the new finger scans, there is no way for them to prove who used them in the past.

So doing something wrong is only wrong if you can get caught?

Using this same logic, is this okay, too? I pay my local grocery store hundreds of dollars each month. I get a fair value for what I pay, but I feel they owe me more just because I spend so much there. They don't have cameras on every aisle, so there's no way for them to catch me placing a few extra things in my pockets instead of the cart.

who are you to tell the OP or anyone else what to do?

DIS is a place for people to ask questions about Disney and get answers from those who know or have experience with the issue. The OP asked about transferring tickets, and those who knew gave them the Disney policy: transferring tickets from one person to another is not permitted under any circumstances.

As an aside, this board has a policy that it is not to be used for communicating ways to bypass Disney rules and gig the system. Everyone with a DIS account agreed to those terms when they accepted the user agreement.

Moral issues of doing what's right aside, I'll admit to being selfish on this issue. Every time someone gigs the system and cheats Disney out of a dollar or two, I know that dollar or two is going to be recouped by higher prices the next time I have to pay for something. You're not stealing that free day in the park from Disney; you're stealing it from all of us.

We are telling the OP Disney's RULES AND POLICIES. Who are you to tell someone to violate those rules?

So, basically you are saying even though it is wrong, go ahead and do it because other people do? Okay, I guess you can live your life that way if you choose.

Disney is attempting to stop "the process" by using the biometric scans.

I have to say I find your post rather hypocritcal since I have seen your posts telling people who park at the Contemporary Resort when they aren't guests there how terrible they are for breaking the rules and using the Contemporary to park for the MK. So, you want everyone to follow the rules when you think it will affect you but don't care when you feel it doesn't?

Allison 1st off all I am not the only one who told the OP to go ahead & use them, if his parents have not gone threw the biometric scans. If you read my reply I said if they did get their fingers scanned, then the OP would have to purchase new tickets. So why don't you flame them & not just flame me, because you sure seem to get a great joy of doing that. Also I was stating a true fact that there are people everyday selling old & used WDW tickets on Ebay & discount ticket outlets in Orlando. So despite what WDW's rules are, there are always people who will try to break them. Finally I don't care wheather you agree with me or, not because that was my opinion, so don't give your holier then thou attitude.

You crack me up.

You crack me up.

You want me to adress the other part of your reply to me ok fine I will. My other posts on Disboards should have nothing to do with this thread. So don't try to go off topic, in another attempt to flame me, just because I stated my opinion eventhough you feel it's wrong.

So why don't you address the fact that I stated a true fact that old WDW tickets are sold everyday, to people who never used them or are you trying to live in a fantasyland? Also I say agian that I am not the only one who told the OP to use these tickets, if he can. So why is it that when I replied you decided to flame me & not the others on here who said to use them?

 

[DianeV]

ok some people are getting a bit ridiculous and comparing it to stealing food at a grocery store!??? OMG!!!

Ya know someone stated they were only giving the Disney rules..that would be fine but one of the very first responses got into the "conscience" thing and it went from there to try to make the OP feel like a crook or worse if they do it..So before you start stating that you were only giving info remember YOU WERENT

I believe I addressed that in my first post which I invite you to go back and read again.

I'll paraphrase for you-just because other people do something against the rules and policies isn't an excuse for someone else to do it.

Noone else on the thread started an attack on other posters like you did saying things like who are you to tell the OP what to do. So, I addressed you.

You get back what you give out. I'm sure many other regular readers on the DIS are aware of your argumentative style of posting which invites the reactions you get to your posts.

Allsion, you crack me up.
I am not sure how you can compare someone who parks at the Contemporary when they shouldn't be and some family members using someone elses tickets.
In the parking case the person is trying to save money by not paying for a spot at the MK or the TTC; with regards to the tickets these have already been paid for in full, so if they need to be shared by the same family members I don't see what the big deal is.

 

[DianeV]

Allison I direct you back to one of the very first responses where the poster "attacked" the OP for not using their conscience if they do it..and there were others who followed..please get your facts correct

I'm not comparing them. I was addressing another poster who is all for following the rules when it affects them and has been very nasty to other posters when they don't follow the rules they want them to follow.

Just to point out, people are trying to save money in both cases.

The tickets are bought and paid for..if someone else in the FAMILY will get use from them how is that so bad? I understand the big "non transferable" thing and that is why I stated IMO in my previous post. There is no good reason for them to be that way except for money issues or reselling problems.

To let your own kids use tickets YOU paid for shouldnt be something you have to struggle with your conscience about IMO again..I dont see this kind of stipulation on very many kinds of tickets out there

My parents came with us for their first trip to WDW in April this year. We were buying an Annual Pass for my husband and a 10 day ticket with non expiry for myself. My parents were only going to be going to the world for 2 days so they used the remaining days on our hoppers from 2002.

I did not feel one teensy bit guilty for doing this as Disney gets plenty of money from me and the remaining days would have gone to waste with my parents having to shell out for 2 x 2day tickets.

There is an example of others who agreed or basically told the OP to try to use his parents tickets, if he can because of the biometric scans. So don't try to say I am the only who is saying to break the rules here.

Then is it OK for an Orlando resident with an AP to loan it out? The ticket is paid in full.

MYW ticket pricing gives guests extra days for almost free. Those days are to be used by the purchaser only. As a result of the pricing change Disney now does the finger scan.

The old tickets were basically priced per day, Disney didn't even have a place to put your name on the tickets. Those tickets were shared and even sold.

I'd say if those were old hopper tickets go ahead and use them, once used they'll become non-transferable when scanned but the OP said there is only one day left. Although the old tickets said they were non-transferable the fact that Disney didn't have a place for the customers name let alone picture or any type of scanning indicates to me the language about transferability was put there by lawyers so Disney could go after ticket resellers.

If that's true, I stand corrected. But, I am going to address someone who asks a leading question such as "who are you to tell people...". People did provide the facts that tickets are non-transferrable and as another poster pointed out-that is what the DIS is for -to provide information.

 

[wild4dis]

I have a question about the finger scanners.....do they really work?? We were there in April...we had 3 child tix and 2 adult....each day my wife would take them all back and keep them safe for next time we needed them (FP, etc). The next time we had to go thru a gate entrance we handed the tix back out ....we never marked them and odds are that each kid and adult used a different ticket going thru the gate/finger scan....yet we were accepted thru each time.......so is each ticket really associated with a specific finger scan...or did it recognize the finger scan as coming in at the same "general" time??

The reason I said my 1st reply the way I did, is because there are people like you on Disboards who try to make others feel guilty for trying to do something that is against WDW rules. While I agree the rules are there for good reason, I sometimes laugh the way people like you try to make others feel guilty for asking if there is a way to get around them. In this case, the OP only asked if he can use tickets from his parents & not from total strangers.

You need to go back and read again. I only provided facts in my posts to the OP regarding Disney's rules regarding tickets.

After you posted, I then addressed specifics of your post.

 

[DizBelle]

What I learned today: as long as I don't think I'll get caught, it's ok for me to do bad things.

 

[Lewisc]

Disney will sometimes link tickets (at one time even AP) amoung family members that bought tickets at the same time. That way any of your finger scans would work for any of the tickets. It was done to handle the exact situation you presented.

That's not the point I am trying to say. The fact is others still told the OP to not feel guilty about using his parents tickets, if it's possible. So you did not flame them, but you flamed me based on my posting history & the fact that I felt like telling it how it is.

Also I was stating a true fact that there are people everyday selling old & used WDW tickets on Ebay & discount ticket outlets in Orlando.

It should be noted, this is being done entirely in violation of Florida law

The reason I said my 1st reply the way I did, is because there are people like you on Disboards who try to make others feel guilty for trying to do something that is against WDW rules.

When, in actuality, we all know that anyone who intends to break the rules (whether it be sharing unused park days, parking at a Magic Kingdom-area resort all day to avoid paying for parking, or whatever) really ISN'T going to feel guilty - despite posting on public forums seeking support for their decision to bend or break whatever rule inconveniences them

I give you credit, you do like telling it like it is. Then you also need to respect other people "like telling it how it is".
