If you are planning a Disney vacation, purchasing discounted Disney World tickets is an excellent way to save money.
But is it a good idea to buy tickets through eBay or Craigslist? This article will discuss what you need to know before you make that bid.
  Although the discounted prices offered on these boards may seem to be attractive, it is important to note that chances are very good that you will not get what you paid for.
The problem is that there is literally no way to know, prior to getting to the park gate, if the tickets you purchased are even valid.
There are, sadly, many con artists who frequent eBay and Craigslist, supposedly selling deeply discounted Disney World tickets.
If you buy from them, you have an excellent chance of buying a park pass that has no available days on it...
if you even get anything at all.
The problem is, you won't know, until you get to the park gate.
By that time, it is too late, and your vacation is ruined.
  Even if you purchase a ticket that has been "partially used", since Disney tickets are non-transferable (and Disney enforces this through a biometric finger scan), you would be unable to use it.
It is illegal in the state of Florida to re-sell partially used multi-day admission tickets.
  While both eBay and Craigslist have their place in saving money through buying and selling discounted items, when it comes to buying discounted Disney World tickets, the old adage of "buyer beware" is definitely true.
 Purchase your park passes only through an authorized, reputable ticket broker.
