Disney will help after family buys $10,000 of the wrong gift cards for theme park visit

(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A Central Illinois woman’s family will be able to go on their Disney World vacation this month, despite a very expensive mistake.

Andie Coston of Normal returned to TikTok to update a now-viral post about how her parents bought the wrong kind of gift cards for their family vacation.

Days ago, she asked for help in contacting someone at Disney after she says the 78-year-olds bought $10,000 in cards for Disney+ -- the streaming service, not the theme parks.

After sharing a video that has been watched at least 2.9 million times, Coston says someone from Disney reached out to her parents to say they can use the cards for their family trip this month.

The social worker and mother of four says she’s heard from other people who have made the same mistake, but not to the tune of $10,000.
