Grandparents Trying To Take Family To Disney World Accidentally Bought $10,000 In Disney+ Gift Cards, But There’s A Happy Ending

Partners Statue at Magic Kingdom.

Walt Disney World vacations are expensive, and they take a fair amount of time to plan. These are concepts that most people know. Because of the cost, people look for any possible way to save money. A family in Illinois was planning a trip for the ages -- including 16 family members -- a pricey endeavor overall. So, in preparation for the costs, Grandma purchased $10,000 worth of Disney gift cards. Unfortunately, there was a problem, she bought the wrong one. 

In a TikTok that has gone viral, Andie Coston explains that the family had planned a trip to Disney World in 2020 that had been derailed due to the global pandemic. They rescheduled the trip, and in preparation, her mother bought $10,000 worth of gift cards, which might be enough to cover the food at Disney World. Jokes aside, by buying them at Sam’s Club, she paid less than the face value of the cards, saving quite a bit of money. The problem was: they weren’t Disney gift cards, they were Disney+ gift cards.
