I'm a cast member at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, and lately there have been several credit card scams that not enough people know about, and, inadvertently, keep falling for.
On two occasions that I know of, someone has called a guest room claiming to be from either the front desk or the concierge desk and offered very, very inexpensive tickets to the Hoop-De-Do Musical Review. By "inexpensive," I mean they are $15 for category one seating. Normally, category one is around $60 for adults.
All the guest needs to do is provide all their credit card information and their address and then they can head down to the concierge desk and pick up their ticket! Needless to say, there will be no ticket. The person who came to me looking for his ticket eventually had over $2000 spent on that particular credit card before we figured out what had happened.
The folks coming to Disney need to know that even though we love taking as much money as we can from you, we will never, ever, call your room looking for a credit card. ...........
Be safe out there. Not everyone is as magical as you'd like them to be.
