Question 1

What is the "Fake Disneyland ticket resellers on Harbor Blvd" scam in Anaheim?

Accepted Answer

Individuals approach tourists outside Disneyland claiming to have unused multi-day tickets or annual passes at steep discounts. Tickets are either expired, already partially used, forged, or linked to another person's biometric scan. Disney's system matches first-use fingerprint and photo to the ticket, so resold passes fail at the gate and buyers lose their money. Only buy from Disneyland.com, the official Disneyland app, or authorized resellers like Costco Travel and Get Away Today. Never buy tickets from a person on the street regardless of the price.

Question 2

What is the "Timeshare presentation bait with "free Disney tickets"" scam in Anaheim?

Accepted Answer

Booths at the airport, near hotel lobbies, and on Harbor Blvd offer free or heavily discounted Disney tickets in exchange for attending a 90-minute timeshare presentation. Presentations routinely run 3-5 hours with high-pressure sales, and the promised tickets often have restrictions like blackout dates or require attendance at multiple events. Ignore anyone offering free park tickets in exchange for a presentation. Legitimate Disney discounts come only from authorized resellers and the official site.
