Thank you Susie 63!!! ITA about running them out of business!

I know that a lot of people have been very upset about the 6+ day hoppers being taken away and this "business" and the ones like it are the reason, IMO. They rent out multi-day hoppers and ruin the option for people who legitimately want more than 5 days in the park. Its a ripple effect that ends up hurting innocent people.

I think they all ready deleted your comments...I just went to see and I didn't see them on their wall....maybe we should all just keep posting the message to their wall..,,,

People don't get caught, and when they do , they don't get arrested. We'll refund their money.

In Florida, reselling partially-used tickets is against state law. The same is not true in California. So, it all comes down to how often these shops have to refund tickets---the idea for Disney is to make it as expensive for them as possible, so that they will find some other shady way of making a living instead.

My guess: we will see biometrics at DLR sooner rather than later.

I just posted something...I'll see how long it takes to be deleted...

I posted my comment on their park hopper offer as that was the one that my college friend claimed. I know I saw another comment on that same offer that was along the same lines as mine, so if it was one of you DISers, thanks!!!! I also reported them to FB as a scam, so we'll see if FB will do anything about it. It may not be illegal in CA (its stupid that its not) but it is against Disney policy, and I don't want innocent people who may be trying to save money at any point to get screwed over.

ETA -I just saw a comment in their regular comment section about this, so thank you if that was you BryANDJessMom!!!!!! The more that we make people aware, the less people will be taken in by this and have problems at the parks.

I also posted on their page, and hope others do as well.

Thanks Mel522!!!! Hopefully they realize they won't get away with this. Now if only TDA would either go with everyone has a photo on their hopper cards or something like WDW's fingerprint scanners. I know that will take time and money to switch over, but if they want to keep their client base that wants more that 5 day hoppers and cut "businesses" like these off at the pass, they need to do something soon.

This was my post under one of their ads:
A company like this is the reason why Disneyland has stopped selling longer length tickets AND why now they have begun to ID people entering the parks. Disneyland DOES NOT allow rental of their tickets and this company is essentially screwing over those of us that legitimately buy our tickets by Disney having to increase the amount they now charge. If you want to buy from this company, be aware that more and more people have now been having their tickets confiscated upon arrival at the park. For all you asking about Florida, they cannot and will not ever be able to sell in Florida as the state has made it ILLEGAL to resell unused tickets.

[BryANDJessMom]

You're welcome...I will check back periodically...I would think people will read comments before purchasing...and will think twice!!!!

And great post Rosie!

Wonderful comment Rosie!!!!! I just saw this on their page and wandered over here to see if it was a result of this page. We DISers have a lot of consumer power (see BlackJackDelta's thread on Park Vue Inn) and hopefully we can spread the word to not use these so called businesses!

[Mel522]

Just out of curiosity, I searched for others, and there are a lot of these kinds of companies on Facebook. I also posted on a few of their sites. It is companies like these that are forcing us to pay more and taking away are ability to spend more days in the park, so we need to fight back (or at least annoy the heck out of them)

[rosie2283]

As someone who loved the longer length tickets and was personally told on the phone by a CM the reason they stopped selling them was due to fraud, this company makes me insane!! I also emailed the information on to Disney. Not sure what they can do or if they can do anything about it, but I thought it was worth a try!

Here's too wishing they go away!

ITA!!!! Maybe you could post some of the other pages? (Not sure if that is against DIS policy or not). I just found out about this one because of this thread and my college friend claiming the offer. Its wrong what they are doing and we have the opportunity to try to do something about it even if it is just spreading the truth so other people won't get taken in. At least until TDA finds an overarching solution that puts a stop to this.
