Disney can say whatever they want but once you buy something you can sell it if you want to. Shame on Disney for becoming greedy at every turn. $4800 for 2 nights in the new hotel, $15 to add on FastPass, $5-15 per ride to skip the lines on some rides… it’s become a place for the filthy rich and has left behind middle class visitors. My family is done and won’t be going back after decades of WDW visits.
I do not like that someone will profiteer from selling something so over priced, but if some people will buy it then who is the fool?
However I do not know how Disney thinks they can control what someone does with something they now own, seems to me both situations are wrong. Just Saying…
As usual the writer is not explaining it correctly. Disney in their AP TOS has limitations on selling items that were purchased using AP discounts. I believe a few have had passed revoked. I am not aware of anyone permabanned but Disney could do that. What they cannot do is sue someone for reselling merchandise which is a long established precedent.
They could, however, prevent resellers from having access to items in the future by banning them from their parks. They probably like having the value of their swag bumped up, though.
So you’re saying that you and your comrades should have equal access to the starcruiser experience? The workers should have the same access as the wealthy? It sounds like you have your countries mixed up, champ. Try Disney Moscow!
Reselling is typically a side hustle with people who do it in many markets (gpus, watches, comics, Disneyana, sneakers). Most typically have jobs or they do it so prolific they put in 60-80 hours a week so it is a full time job.
This is capitalism at its purest form with market dictating the price. If you don’t support a capitalist economy then I respect that but don’t be the hypocrite who supports it for businesses but not the individual.
Sounds like somebody is mad about their career choices. I made 7 figure income last year by reselling things online. It’s pretty much automated at this point so I have time to sit around and read things like this all day while other people handle the logistics. Work smarter not harder my man.
You made $1mil+ selling stuff online in a year during a pandemic when most people didn’t have jobs? I highly doubt that. If somehow this is actually true I hope the IRS knows.
If someone wants to part with their cash for marked up items that’s their business. It’s their money and bravo to the seller for figuring out a new income stream. It’s refreshing to know we are not yet a communist country.
Reselling Disney stuff has been going on since Disney opened. Plush items, Magic Bands, Loungefly bags, popcorn buckets, and anything collectible/limited edition or not available to everyone in the world have been resold on eBay or other sites. This isn’t new.
Regarding the story, Disney *could* track down those who were on the “test cruises” because there were only so many included. They can’t stop people from selling stuff that was either gifted or sold at a discount, but as the story says, their APs could be revoked, or even ban those who resell special merchandise.
If you don’t like people reselling Disney stuff, don’t buy it. Or go buy it yourself from the parks. Yeah I know, not everyone has access to every Disney park. That’s life. Either do what you can or quit b*tchin’ about what others are doing.
It’s “available for resale,” not “available for resell” — basic noun vs. verb distinction. Typos and editing errors happen, but that is a whole other level.

Pretty sure Hans Solo would approve, keeping the experience “immersive.”

Disney has no control of merchandise after it is purchased by a guest.
Is it illegal to resale… no. Are you a idiot for pay 1500.00 for 200.00 item…that is for a person with 1500.00 to waste.
We live in america not russia. Disney should be ashamed of the cost of the 2 night stay.
