Like-Farming Scams

No reputable contest will ask you to like a social media post to enter. Be wary of any account on Facebook or other social media sites that advertise a chance to win a free trip to Disney World by liking or sharing their content. These scam pages aren't affiliated with Disney Parks and should be avoided at all costs.^{[8]XResearch source}
- All of Disney's social media accounts are verified. If you see an offer that seems too good to be true, double-check that the page you're looking at has a blue checkmark next to its title.

Other Scams

Avoid any contest that requires paying money to enter. Only a scam will ask you to do this. Check if the contest you're considering asks you to pay shipping and handling fees, processing fees, or taxes. Unfortunately, this means it's a scam. Other signs include asking you to wire money or send cash to enter or up your chances of winning.^{[9]XTrustworthy SourceFederal Trade CommissionWebsite with up-to-date information for consumers from the Federal Trade CommissonGo to source}
- Avoid giving away your financial information, like your card number, to any potential sweepstakes or contest. This is another indicator that you're dealing with a scam.
