Have you ever made a purchase that turned out to be a big mistake? Well, this family definitely has, and it cost them a whopping $10,000! They thought they were buying Disney vouchers for their long-awaited trip to Disneyland, but it turned out they couldn’t use them.

The story was shared on TikTok by Andie Coston, who explained the unfortunate situation they found themselves in. Planning a vacation requires careful consideration, especially when it’s a trip to a place like Disneyland.

This family had been dreaming of going to Disney for a while, so they decided to buy vouchers worth $10,000. Originally, their vacation was supposed to happen in 2020, but due to the pandemic, they had to postpone it. In order to secure their trip, they thought buying the vouchers would be like an insurance policy.

Their plan was to use the vouchers for park tickets, reservations, and more. However, when they tried to load the gift cards and purchase the tickets, they realized they had made a small mistake. Instead of buying vouchers to use at Disney, they had purchased vouchers for the Disney Plus streaming platform.

Now, with just six days until their trip, they were panicking. The parks were selling out of tickets because it was Christmas, and they didn’t know how to fix the situation. They couldn’t return the vouchers because they had already scratched off the numbers on the back.

In desperation, they reached out to Disney for help. Thankfully, the company understood their predicament and transferred the gift cards so they could be used at the parks instead of on the streaming platform. Although they were relieved to have the issue resolved, it was a stressful experience for the family.

The video on TikTok received messages and comments from others who had gone through similar situations. It’s important to raise awareness about this issue so that others don’t find themselves in the same predicament.

Do I have a story for you! PLEASE HELP! Note that the purchaser is not familiar with Disney Plus and did not know the difference! Honest mistake. It is not about the funding of the trip. It is about finding someone who can help us transfer the money into the correct gift card so we can make it to Disney! @Disney Parks @Disney+ @Disney #ohno #fail #disney #disneyworld #disneyplus #disneyfail #help

So, let this be a lesson to all of us. Planning a vacation is important, but make sure you double-check your purchases, especially when it involves vouchers or gift cards. Otherwise, you might end up with a costly mistake like this family did.
