INDIANAPOLIS -- A special offering a great deal to the "happiest place on earth" may leave some customers feeling misled.
Call 6 investigated a random faxed advertisement that offers a vacation deal to Walt Disney World in Orlando -- a five-day, four-night vacation for $169 where kids stay free and admission to any Disney park is included.
But learned that families will still have to pay for children to get into the park under the deal.
Call 6's Rafael Sanchez called the number provided to hear the sales pitch.

Operator: Did you just receive the advertisement?
Call 6: Yes.
Operator: OK, the only reason that I ask is that I am showing this special may be close to selling out.
Sanchez: Oh, OK, close to selling out.
Operator: We normally sell this vacation for $400 per person.

Call 6: Yes.
Operator: Are you between the ages 21 and 65?
