The reason he ran it twice is that he didn't add the park hopper option to the new ticket the first time.

    So, what # do I call to get Disney to put that first time it was run back on my account?

    The Pre-auth still deducts the money but the money returns once the pre-auth disappears.

    The charge card company will fix the problem. You will only be required to pay the amount that you are supposed to.

Getting the credit card company involved is your second layer of defense should you be unable to resolve it directly. But do keep in mind that you have only 60 days from the statement date upon which the problem charges appear to dispute it with the bank.

    Labuda, what I did when I had a service problem at WDW was contact the front desk of a resort hotel (any hotel - it doesn' matter), briefly explain the situation, and ask them for the appropriate number. They have people come up to them all day long with those questions and know the correct departments to call. I called late at night to ensure that my call really went to the front desk, rather than the "front desk department" in the back as sometimes happens at larger hotels during the day. You might find that works better than calling the main number you'd call to buy tickets over the phone, as they likely have nothing to do with the department that sells tickets at the park.
