Walkee iGuide 2.0 Just Days from App,e Submission

Renting Disneyland tickets is a No No

Over the past year, a proliferation of sites renting Disneyland tickets by the day have popped all over the net. Brokers purchase multi-day 3, 4 or 5 day tickets and rent them to you by the day. Renters pick up the tickets at a location near the park, and must return them at the end of the day.

Ticket renting is against Disney’s policy. It is clearly stated on all multi-day tickets that they are “non transferrable” and must be used by the same person for all the days.

Disney is now cracking down on ticket renting by requiring I.D. checks at designated gates. When discovered, Disney will confiscate the tickets leaving you and your group out in the cold.

Don’t risk your Disney visit by renting tickets, it’s not worth spoiling your day just save a few dollars.
