The Gardner family in Mesa is still disappointed about their Disney Land tickets they purchased earlier this year; it’s not about the money, rather, the lies the woman who sold the tickets said.The three kids, ages three to nine sold toys to raise money for their dream vacation.When the kid’s mother, Deedra Gardner, looked online for the best deal, Craig's List came through in a big way.The add selling Disney tickets said: "I had to cancel my vacation to raise money for a car payment so I'm selling these passes at a discount."The family did all the right things, even met the woman in person to make the transaction at a gas station where the woman told the kids what they were in for."She acted really, really nice,” 7-year-old Conner said, “She said you guys are going to have a great time, your family is really, really nice." Everything seemed perfect, until the family got to the park."We went to try the tickets and they weren't activated," Deedra Gardner said.The family was told by park officials there were a growing number of bogus tickets showing up at the park.The woman who sold the Gardner their tickets disconnected her phone. Deedra has contacted her via e-mail and the woman promises to get the Gardner's their money back.At this point, Deedra knows that is very unlikely.
