A family mistakenly purchased $10,000 worth of Disney+ gift cards, thinking they could use them for a Disneyland vacation. The confusion arose as the family prepared to visit Disneyland with 16 members during Christmas. They discovered the error when encountering issues loading the cards to buy tickets and make reservations. Instead of Disneyland passes, the cards provided over a century of Disney+ streaming.
Fortunately, Disney resolved the situation by converting the streaming gift cards into Disney Parks gift cards. The family expressed relief and gratitude after the mix-up was fixed, highlighting the importance of carefully checking gift card types.
The incident serves as a cautionary tale for others planning trips or buying gift cards, ensuring they verify the purpose of the cards before making significant purchases.
