Scams? Two to disney for $25 or two to Universal for $20. Is it real?

Question

I just came baack from an Orlando vacation and I paid about 240 to get on Disney, 1 park 1 day, 2 aduts and 2 children. It was about the same for Seaworld and the other parks. Still on the way back I kept seeing those ads and boots with people saying two to the park for $20 or two to Disney for $25, they even said $100 cash for asking.

I know it must be some sort of scam. Does anyone knows what is this scam about or share any experiencies about how they try to rip you off.

Answer 1

you will probably have to sit through a 2 hour presentation for buying timeshare. its not that bad of a deal but make sure you keep telling them that you do NOT want to buy.

Answer 2

Sounds like a scam. There are tons of those around the Disney parks. Given the retail price of Disney park tickets, $25/$20 sounds like someone trying to get over on you.

Dateline did a story on these some time back. Very often, the tickets didn't work or were expired.

Answer 3

When outside vendors are selling Disney or Universal tickets, chances are they are expired tickets or tickets with only a few days left on them. But, at least at Disney, they have biometric readers that recognize your fingerprint the first time a ticket is used, limiting the ticket to that person. It's possible that tourists discard their tickets, some scammers pick it up and then try to sell it to other tourists. And when you take it to Disney to try to get it to work, it won't. Guest services will be able to run the card and explain what happened and find out the usage history of the ticket, and they'll know you purchased a bad ticket. And Disney won't give you a valid ticket or refund money. They'll tell you that you need to purchase tickets from an authorized dealer.

In other words, next time you're in Orlando, don't believe a deal if it's too good to be true or if it's not authorized by Disney.

Answer 4

Sounds like a scam. Remember, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Were the signs from a reputable company? We are going to Disney in Sept. because they offered the Dining Plan for free. This was directly from the Disney website. Had this been from anyone else, I probably wouldn't have even thought about it.

Answer 5

This is not a scam!
The booths are outlets for people who work for timeshare companies. You must sign up with the people at the booth, who will instruct you on where to go. Sometimes ou may have to pay a refundable deposit.
You simply go to where they instructed you to go and sit through a presentation on timeshares, just continually say No to buying one. You will often get a free breakfast. At the end of the presentation you will get te option of free or cheap tickets to major attractions, and a refund on your deposit, if you paid one.
I hve been to these booth's and can say that they are definitely not a scam and are worth it.

Answer 6

You would have to sit through what they claim is a 90 minute time share presentation......The only problem is it's a lot longer then 90 minutes you will waste a vacation day . It's definitely NOT worth it!
