While you are visiting the Disney area, you might notice stands advertising Disney tickets. These probably are for a timeshare pitch. Usually you will take a tour of their facilities, and at the end, they'll give you the tickets. Age, income and other restrictions can apply. For some people this is a really good deal, but be warned: the pitch is very high pressure. Sales people want you to make an on-the-spot decision that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars. If you don't have the resolve to say no, you might want to avoid this as a way to get tickets.
