It’s no secret that probably the most controversial practices in all Disney Parks is the reselling of popular merchandise. There may be nothing extra irritating than seeing an ideal new piece of merchandise, heading to the Parks proper after it’s launched, and it’s already gone. Then, you see Company with bags full of that merchandise then, hours later, it’s posted on-line for double or triple the worth, perhaps extra. Resellers are seemingly turning into an increasing number of fashionable, regardless of how offended they make folks.
Early in December, the Tokyo Disney Resort — which isn’t owned by Disney — determined to take a stand and ban resellers. The Resort added a brand new rule to the “Theme Park Phrases and Circumstances” part of its web site. The positioning says that Company could not buy any merchandise for the aim of resale. Now, Tokyo Disney has not stated what would occur to those that are caught reselling merchandise, however, I, for one, hope they problem strict punishment.
Resellers have gotten a BIG drawback, and, if Disney is sensible, they are going to have all different Resorts — Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disneyland, and Hong Kong Disney — will observe swimsuit. Disney already has guidelines in place that punishes Annual Passholders and Magic Key Holders from reselling merchandise that they buy with their AP low cost. So, why not lengthen it to all theme park Company?
Every Visitor must have a ticket, MagicBand, or MagicMobile account hooked up to their identify, so, it’s attainable that Disney may require Forged Members to scan no matter type of ticket they’ve earlier than making their buy. That manner, Disney would have the ability to restrict how a lot every Visitor purchases of every product, which is the primary win.
As Disney is ready to observe those who resell after purchasing with their AP, evidently they may lengthen that to trace reselling on fashionable web sites like eBay and Mercari. They’d have the ability to discover the vendor’s data, observe them with their Disney data and take the suitable motion.
With regards to APs and Magic Key Holders who’re caught reselling, Disney revokes their move for a sure period of time. Whereas there gained’t be Annual Passes to revoke, Disney may definitely ban the Visitor from visiting for a sure time frame. If the Visitor is caught greater than as soon as, the ban may very well be lengthened.
How nice would it not be to go to a Park to get some new merchandise and never have to fret if sure folks are buying everything up, merely to promote it on-line for a significant revenue? How fantastic would it not be to know {that a} Visitor can’t hop from retailer to retailer, shopping for as a lot as they will? No extra seeing Company stroll round with baggage of merchandise whilst you stare at empty cabinets.
Please, Disney, BAN THE RESELLERS.
