But they by chance spent the cash on vouchers for Disney+, which she mentioned labored out as "70 years of streaming".

After posting a video on TikTok interesting for assist, she acquired a blended response, with some customers upset for her whereas others questioned why a rich household was asking for help.

But the publicity clearly helped, as a result of on Tuesday she posted one other video during which she defined that she had "just got a text message that Disney has contacted my parents and is turning the $10,000 of Disney streaming into $10,000 of Disney Parks tickets".

She thanked these customers "who were nice", giving a thumbs-up, saying "we got it done" and informed "those who were mean" they "posted my comments so Disney would notice," including: "I'm glad this is resolved."

She mentioned: "Yup. We have $10k of Disney+ streaming providers. That's over 70 years of Disney+.

"We need help. It's not about the money! It's about getting the money in the right form.

"We go away in six days and the parks are promoting out of tickets as a result of it is Christmas.

"My mom is distraught, dad frustrated, and the kids worried we won't get to get to Disney.

"Anyone know of somebody who may also help?"

Gift playing cards at Sam's Club are sometimes discounted by as much as 25%, which means for each $100 (£87) present card you purchase, it might solely price you $75 (£59), US information channel, 25 News, mentioned.

The household have been due to this fact hoping to save lots of $2,500 (£2,000) on an outlay of $10,000.
