Hey everyone. I found a place that has discounted tickets. Does anyone have any experience with Natalie from toysun.net? 2 day park hopper for 130. Compared to 173 at Disneyland.com. Of course, I'm concerned about this being legitimate. Looks like you pay in person at their office, pick up the ticket(s), and when you're done, return them.
I would rather put the money to Disney to keep the rides safe. Also to expand on the parks. Keep jobs for CMs. - Chumash28

👏 I like that answer - bellaminnie 264.5 #895 2:59AM
I like. - BCC 4658.5 #5 10:05AM
Well, indeed the community has spoken! :-) I am NOT going to buy my tickets this way. I am going to buy them regularly through Disneyland.com. Everyone's right. The magic that this park offers is worth every penny. I'll stick to buying the tickets regularly. - jaguartamer

Good for you!! If we didn't have such a love for Disney, we wouldn't care. Just looking out for a MW fam member :) have a fantastic time when you go! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 10:06AM

Y would you have to return them?? - HanLostLeia

You are basically renting the tickets. It is against Disneyland policy to transfer tickets, so if you are caught the tickets will be confiscated and you will be out of your money. Go the right way and purchase at Disneyland to avoid problems. - Katrayher

That's not what you said and not what he was referring. - splashphotoCM 882.6 #104 1:44PM
My whole thing is if you can't pay Disney prices you have no business being at DL... Shame on you for taking the easy route... Save your money and do the honest thing - mralexv
306.5 #592 3:56AM
No reason to shame someone, who is is new, who possibly hasn't had experience with these kinds of things, for trying to save some money! - DarthSparrow 35.7 #4219 7:07AM
Sorry but it's the truth. I paid my tickets and my AP the right way why shouldn't they. - mralexv 306.5 #592 7:36AM
I don't think he bought the tickets yet...sounds like he was thinking about it... - islandgirl58 166.5 #32 8:25AM
I bought my ap but I'm not all butt hurt if some one can't afford it and looks for a cheaper way - Brently 233.7 #1215 9:45AM
That's plain wrong to say. Who are you to say something like that? - splashphotoCM 882.6 #104 9:48AM
Well that's a little rude. My parents buy their tickets from a local credit union. They're a tad cheaper do they not belong at disneyland either then? - ruhkel 173.2 #1989 9:49AM
First off I'm all for getting discounts ect.. The one thing I'm not for are these people that " rent" out passes.. That's what I'm talking about.. - mralexv 306.5 #592 10:09AM

What these guys do is buy a bunch of the 5 day park hopper tickets and then 'rent' them out to people. Usually to groups. They make a profit, while the people who 'rent' the tickets. The reason for the return is because there are (in some cases) still days available on the park hopper ticket. They get that ticket back (usually that exchange happens inside the park), then 'rents' out that same ticket to someone new. So if a guy buys a 5 day park hopper ticket, then 'rents' the ticket (cheaper than actual price of a one day park hopper ticket) five times to five different people, and they make a profit. I watched this go down once. I simply wouldn't do it. - RadioMaverick
674.3 #160 7:55AM
I think this is why the ticket office writes your name on the tickets now. When I bought tickets in June they wanted the names of all my guests. - vegasbrat 403.8 #332 8:01AM
Ooh! That is sketchy!! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 8:12AM
This is not safe and shouldn't be done, definitely not legit. As someone else said, tickets are non transferable. Many people have gotten tickets through someone like this and ended up being stopped by Disney, tickets confiscated, and they lost out on money. I understand ticket prices are kind of high, but we're paying for a wonderful experience and allowing that money to go towards making the parks even better. - LBChica
1560.6 #52 8:09AM
Not to mention if you got them on Day 3 and they were confiscated, you're out $$ and so is the 'company' you got them from. What does the fine print say about that? *grabs monocle* - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 8:54AM

Put a lien on your house? First baby? Idk. What CAN they do?? It's unethical. Let's call and see, - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 10:12AM
They gonna text me back? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 10:31AM
Yes! It works. I'm in DL right now with the shared tickets. I have to give them back tomorrow morning though. Disneyland is getting way too overpriced to buy direct :( - mikeeg

Churro? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 4:45PM
good luck, here is your flame shield. - chris. 2507.8 #25 4:46PM
Good luck, hope your ticket doesn't get confiscated - LBChica 1560.6 #52 4:48PM
I am wondering how someone new, found that days old post and is saying this? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 4:50PM
I was thinking the same thing HMACIF - LBChica 1560.6 #52 4:52PM
AS their first post. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 4:53PM
Far blurs? - Evilstitch 333.7 #470 4:56PM
Thanks! I find the real scam is that Disneyland is getting away with charging this high a price for their tickets. I like Disneyland and it's great for the kids, but charging about $80 for a one-day ticket is absolutely ridiculous. - mikeeg

Paging Sue! Get the popcorn ready! - LBChica 1560.6 #52 4:56PM

Who keeps liking these comments??? - LBChica 1560.6 #52 4:58PM
i think they are liking it so everyone can see it up top, to get the party started. - chris. 2507.8 #25 5:01PM
I thought they deleted it. Like button messes with my head. - Evilstitch 333.7 #470 5:01PM
I wondered that too- who is liking them? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 5:04PM

I never trust these. Saving money is great, but you don't want to get screwed. I say do more research, or just buy from the parks. - bellaminnie
264.5 #895 1:15AM
A while back some people in here were talking about this kind of thing I'm not sure how Disney feels about this but something doesn't seem right - lisaw
96.3 #3122 1:33AM
The whole returning them doesn't seem right. - mandigutterrose 156.4 #2244 1:58AM
I wouldn't do it just do it the right way and pay the full price. It's not worth looking like a jerk if Disney security catches you with those tickets. Not trying to be mean just trying to help you out - madhatter3
17.5 #5451 2:12AM
Well I wouldnt tell you yes, BUT I wouldnt tell u NO...my cousin has done it several times and to be honest its been the only way he has been able to afford to take his family. - GusRichiesMan
43.3 #3971 2:26AM
They may the type of family that takes food into the park. They put aside so much money, maybe it's all they can afford. - ruhkel 173.2 #1989 9:53AM
Return them when you're done?? That in and of itself sounds fishy... I wouldn't do it. - Pintraderswife
458.5 #268 5:35AM
I was there on Monday and the guy in front of my had what I think was a rented AP but there wasn't a picture taken yet - problem was it had been used plenty of times since the purchase - ultimately I over heard the CM telling him he HAD take the picture that day or else - didn't hear what the else was. I did hear the guy later on the monorail saying it wasn't his problem though.
Those kind of tickets scare me because what if they don't work? - sandygirl
3.8 #14798 6:33AM
And you know what- that happens every stinkin day. My hubby has worked undercover security in the Esplanade. People are dumb enough to do the transactions there on Disney property! - 415beachgirl 469.0 #263 6:44AM
oh good gravy! IN the esplande??? Hahaha - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 8:14AM
Yes, romec :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 8:58AM
omg! rented ap's? now that's totally wrong! - mochamistie 272.8 #821 9:54AM
Return them? How inconvenient not to mention odd. Churro says RED flags= no good. Pay the $, keep ticket as souvinier - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

If you want discount tickets, there are legitimate ways you can :-) TRY AAA, I've used a place called Get Away Today( they rock and always took really good care of me) , some credit unions and banks have discount tickets, or some of those discount cards and coupon books that schools sell for fundraiser have discounts to! Good luck in your quest for mouse on a budget - DarthSparrow

I've been using getawaytoday since 04. Good prices. And everything is simple. - mightymike®©™ 272.0 #828 8:16AM
That sounds strange to me too. I work for Stater Bros. and we have discounted tickets for Disneyland and that would be the ONLY place I would go outside the park! - no1goof

11.6 #6451 8:11AM
You really shouldn't do it. While one day going through the main gate a woman purchased 11 of those tickets to find out they were scammed. It was so sad to see the faces of the little ones crying because they couldn't go to Disneyland. Not to mention she most likely had to pay 15 dollars for parking for nothing. She was upset and told everyone she paid 1000 dollars for them too. Pay for a piece of mind and also to help improve the parks or for new attractions. :-) - PrincessTianaCM
213.1 #1475 8:20AM
Oh I have no idea but it was just really sad to witness something like that. Or people that still think oh I'm going to take my 12 year old today to Disneyland for free on their birthday...ya that promotion was only for a year...I have a friend that works maingate and tells me all the horror stories. - PrincessTianaCM 213.1 #1475 8:37AM
Awww I think it's really hard to catch me because I'm rotating between all the rides!!! Once I finish my finals I'll be able to dedicate some of my days off to meet up with MWs. - PrincessTianaCM

Almost has the smell of a dental office. *swabs mouth with Fabuloso to start the numbing process* - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 10:42AM
Yeah this isn't a good idea. You have no way of knowing if the tickets are real until its too late, plus tickets are non transferrable. If Disney found out you did this they would deny you entry. Not to mention this is morally and ethically not cool - Pixarprincess
531.5 #219 8:59AM
Be very careful. Another scam out there is people selling the 3 day park hopper gift cards from safeway that were just picked up at the check stand that were never activated. - tinkermom916
202.7 #1629 9:20AM
I think its a bad idea because you return them afterwards which means that someone else is probably going to use the left over days or it is a used ticket, which is against Disneyland's policy I think. That's just my two cents though, I wouldn't risk it. - TinkerTara_CM
228.7 #1290 9:27AM
Is there any way to notify Disney of this? - ladylikesdisney
926.7 #96 9:30AM
this has been going on for awhile now, I'd be surprised if they didn't know already. - mochamistie 272.8 #821 9:55AM
Buy your tickets direct from Disney. - timetraveler2442
338.6 #452 9:43AM
If you feel concerned, do not buy from them. Sounds shady to me anyway. - MsDisneyLove

81.6 #3308 9:52AM
I did something like this over thanksgiving this year. We went to the business which was a block from disney to pick up our tickets and it was legit. You basically are renting the tickets. I know its wrong but its the only way we could afford our trip. - kj4ever18
230.5 #1262 9:55AM
If Disneyland finds out you did this they will take your ticket away... They buy tickets in bulk for multiple days at a discounted price and then have people use different days on the tickets it's messed up to be honest and not worth getting caught over - Tink
111.0 #2937 9:56AM
Totally agree tink. - NeverlandTink 421.8 #310 9:58AM
my advice is, since it's against disneys policy, don't do it but I totally understand you wanna save a few $ but it's not right. - mochamistie
272.8 #821 9:56AM
I'm surprised Disney hasn't shut these places DOWN! - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1841.2 #43 10:02AM
Oh that is good. Too scam, these people. I feel better about NOT having my pic on my AP. the pic is pretty bad. Traveling all day, it was windy. No amount of lip gloss coulda fixed it. Yeah, I could get a new pic, but it's not like I'm submitting it to Barbizon Modeling Agency - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1841.2 #43 10:26AM
I got a question... What would happen if you didn't return them? - vikkimus
198.7 #25 10:08AM
And here's the other problem you may run into. The ticket you are buying/renting clearly says non transferable on it. You already know something is fishy/dishonest by having to return them to this place. Now I'm not saying this couldn't happen, but from a legal stand point you could be arrested for conspiracy to defraud. I know that sounds harsh but believe me from an law enforcement standpoint it happens all the time. Disney will eventually take action and has on these businesses. Several have already closed shop or their #'s are disconnected. - splashphotoCM
882.6 #104 10:10AM
So, buyer beware. - splashphotoCM 882.6 #104 10:12AM
Exactly what RadioMav said. I have an AP, but actually went through a site just like this for some relatives of mine. The prices are enticing, but the tickets are considered Disney property so if caught, they can take them away. Another bad thing about it, the offices don't usually open until 8 and you spend an hour or more waiting to get the tickets. - Minnieday
300.1 #627 10:13AM
It sounds sketchy . My thoughts are if you save $ by doing something that may feel shady to you , your sure to loss it somewhere else. I live by the karma rule. Although I wish DL were less exspencive, I'm grateful for the standards that are kept and will pay for that magic when I'm able . - My_HappyPlace
65.6 #3535 10:14AM
Yesterday this guy asked me if I was there the next three days cause he had tickets left from his trip and I said no only for the day so he went on asking ppl he wasn't asking for money he was giving it away and hetold the CM I'll go on the other side and the CM told him this is kind of you for doing this.. So the CM thought it was alright for him to transfer it.. - HOTDOGsMOMMY

Oh I'm not saying to buy rent ones.. I would too spend all my money on a Disney ticket then these.. Just saying it was okay for that guy to do it maybe cause he was giving them out and not selling them..?? - HOTDOGsMOMMY
66.5 #3521 10:18AM
On our last trip to DLR in July 2011. My dad wanted to save money for food in the park so he decided to get the rented tickets which I totally disagree. And once we got to the parks, it was confiscated all 6 tickets! I felt like my dad just got slapped in the face. It was pretty embarrassing. So he got his money back and bought the real tickets. We did got away last time in 2010. He got cheaper tickets for 3 days and it worked. But still didn't agree - steph122

On Sunday as I was trying to get into DL there was people trying to get in but there one day hoppers werent working they had signatures on the back they said oh we will call them then they took off. But it's so dumb if I might add they even advertise in the penny saver so fishy! And it's rude for the CM's and the company - princessVanessa
