A family accidentally buys $10,000 in gift cards for Disney+ because they think they could be redeemed there.
A family was left shocked after discovering they had bought $10,000 worth of Disney+ vouchers because they thought they could be redeemed at Disneyland.
The family had initially planned a trip, which was later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, on a recent vacation, they accidentally bought $10,000 in gift cards for Disney World, only to realize later that they were actually for Disney+
Andie Coston shared the story of throwing the trip into chaos on TikTok, and it quickly went viral on social media.
In the video, she recounts how her family had planned a trip to Disney. They decided to purchase vouchers for the family.
At this point, her parents decided to spend $10,000 on vouchers that the family could use to enter the park when they were eventually allowed to. These were supposed to be used for different types of tickets and reservations at restaurants. But there was a minor hitch shortly after.
In the video, she explained, "We finally planned it for this Christmas. All 16 of my family members were going. To save some money, my parents bought 10,000 Disney gift cards to purchase our tickets and restaurant reservations."
She continued: "I went home this weekend, and they were having problems loading the gift cards correctly and purchasing the tickets."
Andie realized what was wrong, and she was stunned as they inadvertently bought $10,000 worth of vouchers to use for a subscription to Disney+.
She was shocked when they discovered they had acquired numerous Disney+ subscriptions.
The family was panicked and posted a video on TikTok, asking people for help with the situation. They want to turn the $10,000 of Disney streaming gift cards into $10,000 of Disney Parks gift cards.
They said, "We leave in 6 days, and the parks are selling out of tickets because it's Christmas. My mom is distraught, Dad frustrated, and the kids worried we won't get into Disney."
However, the family couldn't return the numbers because they had already been scratched off the back.
Fortunately, they contacted Disney, and the company offered them the gift cards so that they could use them in the parks instead of on $10,000 worth of Disney+.
In the interview with The People, Andie said that she was so glad when the family could relive the incident. She received several comments from users who said that they had had a similar experience.
She said, "I hope that this story makes more people aware of the card difference so no one else experiences this."
