Buy Your Discounted Disney Tickets from an Authorized Ticket Broker 

Never buy "used" tickets, or from eBay or Craigslist.

Sadly, the internet is filled with shady businesses and dishonest people who are only too happy to take advantage of unsuspecting vacation planners. The truth is, while prices from some of these folks may seem to be unbelievable, the fact is that they are....un-believable.

To start with, it is illegal in Florida to sell partially used passes. Why? For the simple matter that it is impossible for someone who buys one of these "great deals" to determine how many days are actually on the pass, or even if there are any days left at all, until the ticket is swiped at the front gate of the theme park. By that time, if you find you were ripped off, well it is too late to do anything about it then!

Buying discounted Disney tickets from an authorized, reputable broker will insure that you get exactly what you paid for.

What if You Lose Your Discounted Disney Tickets? 

Protect Your Vacation Investment!

Imagine this nightmare vacation scenario: You planned the vacation of a lifetime for your family to Walt Disney World. You did your research, and saved money by purchasing discounted Disney tickets from a reputable online broker. You and your family arrive at the park gate,and you have lost your tickets! What now?

Fortunately, if you made a copy of the backs of the passes, you are in great shape, as Disney will probably replace them for you.

The back side, with the magnetic strip, has coded information with all your personal details. And while the tickets do say "Disney is not responsible for misplaced, lost, or stolen tickets", in all likelihood, if you can provide this coded information, they will usually re-issue the pass.

Some folks like to take this one step further by actually taking a picture of the backs of the tickets, with either their digital camera or cell phone. This way they have this important information with them at all times, so even if they are lost while at the parks, they have the information with them.

If you purchased discounted Disney tickets from anyone other than Disney, it is important to note that producing a saved receipt is not sufficient for Disney to replace the passes: generally speaking, only Disney actually prints the ticket codes on their receipts. So while it is important to keep those receipts from your ticket broker, make sure you have copies of the backs of the passes as well.

I can't think of a simpler way to provide insurance for these most valuable little pieces of vacation paper!

Discounted Disney Tickets Recommended Broker 

Maple Leaf Tickets

In business for over 25 years, and members of the Better Business Bureau and the Orlando and Osceola Chambers of Commerce, Maple Leaf Tickets is an authorized Disney ticket broker and a reputable company that you can trust to deliver great prices and excellent service. We have always been pleased with their prices, especially with the fact that all costs are noted "upfront": tax is ALWAYS included with the cost, and shipping costs (if you want the tickets shipped to your home or delivered to your hotel) are clearly noted: no surprises!

While there are a number of shipping options, including picking them up in person, I always have my tickets delivered to my home so that I have them in hand when we arrive. This way we can hit the parks that much sooner.

No timeshare presentations, no pricing and sales gimmicks, and dependable, honest service are just a few reasons why I love Maple Leaf Tickets !
