I wonder if this subject has been covered before on the boards?
One thing we noticed a lot of, and that is kiosks inside and outside supermarkets and ponderosa / denny's type eating places offering low priced Disney tickets. We were prewarned by our villa company that these were fronts for timeshare companies, using the demand for cheap Disney tickets as a hook to get you interested in talking to them.
If you look carefully at their stalls, most of the time they have a small fairly nondescript display showing details of a timeshare resort somewhere or other. I watched one guy approach one of these stalls outide a supermarket to enquire about ticket prices and the questions the guy was asking back were in no way appropriate towards the simple selling of tickets. The questions went like something like this....
"Oh hi there, are you on your own or do you have your family with you ?"
"Your wife ? Is she with you too ?"
"I can do you two tickets for MK at $20 each if you both come on a tour of XYZ resort"
At this, the guy was sensible enough to walk away !!
I would be interested to hear about anybody else's experiences with these kiosks.
