Sorry, I don't feel a thing.
If you were dumb enough to bid on this auction with the feedback of the seller and the lack of accurate info then you get what you get.
As I said before, Why would one risk their vacation on unknown admission media????

$1875.00, thats insane, do they consider this a good deal? We booked for Nov, 7 days at the parks with dining, Pop Century and hoppers for less that $2400.00 for three of us. They should have checked the Disney website for a better deal, this is just tickets they got and they might not even work. They still have to pary for a room and food.

I think you could slap the word "Disney" on an auction for dog turds, and you'd be able to get $100 as long as you said they were direct from Pluto's butt.

I've found eBay generally takes a "ho-hum, oh really?" stance towards bogus deals like this. If I were inclined to be positive towards them, I'd excuse it because of the volume of transactions they process. But honestly, I think it's more because they get a percentage of the proceeds.

If these are legitimate, the total gate price would be $ 4,402.71.
Reading the ad carefully, it appears that all tickets are six-day with the Hopper, WPF&M and No Expire options. There are six each adult and child.
And my price quote above includes tax.
6 Adult @ $ 208
6 Child @ $ 171
12 Hopper @ $45
12 WPF&M @ $50
12 No Expire (Six Day) @ $60
Sales Tax at 6.5%

Years ago I saw Disney CM charactor costumes on ebay.
a pluto, a donald, a minnie and a mickey were for sale, complete with heads, hands and feet plus extra stuff. I called Disney and they said they got like 200 calls about them so far. and 15 mins later the auction was pulled.
funny conversation with them too, I said, hello, do you know someone on ebay is selling Disney costumes? they said, it's ok, a lot gets sold on there all the time, so I said, NO, I mean Disney's "Private" in house only costumes.
this phrase did get thier attention fast. after I heard a lot of commotion in the background they said, it's been reported and thank you very much.
I guess since I didn't use the proper term for the in house costumes it didn't register with them the first time. hmm, I wonder what the proper term is for
them. I bet they watch ebay like a hawk now.
maybe code words next time, like, the mouse is out if the house.

Yes, Disney does watch Ebay and many other sites. I belong to various VMK boards and knew of three staff members on the board, one was top secret. They do have people checkin the boards and auctions as well as Amazon and other sales sites. Disney loses a lot of money due to counterfeit merchandise and does not like stuff stolen from them let alone stolen and resold.
