Dad Gifts Daughter Disneyland Ticket from 1985 — and the Park Honors It: 'I Forgot All About It'

The man won the free ticket after visiting Disneyland during its 30th anniversary, when every 30th guest received a prize

A magical moment!

A dad gifted his teenage daughter a ticket to Disneyland that was printed nearly four decades ago — and the California-based theme park in Anaheim honored it.

According to ABC 7, Scott King won a free ticket after visiting Disneyland during its 30th anniversary, when every 30th guest received a prize.

"When I got there, they awarded me with a ticket and an 'I am a winner' badge, and I said, 'What about the Cadillac?' and they laughed and said, 'Not today buddy,' " Scott told the outlet.

But, instead of using the free ticket after he was awarded it, Scott held onto it and eventually put it in a scrapbook. "I forgot all about it. I really didn't pay much attention to it over the years," he explained.

All these years later, Scott told ABC 7 that his daughter, Sabrina King, wanted to visit the theme park with her boyfriend but was worried by how costly a trip would add up to be. "I said, 'You know, I have a ticket. Let me see if I can grab it,' " King detailed to the outlet.

After finding the ticket, Scott and Sabrina reached out to Disneyland to see if they would honor the ticket, which — after confirming its validity — the "Happiest Place on Earth" did.

"I really couldn't sleep that much because I have not been to Disneyland since I was six. So, it's been over 12 years now," Sabrina told ABC 7.

Per the outlet, the teen's outing to the California hotspot marked her second visit to the park since 2009, and came just two weeks before she heads to college.

ABC 7 reported that a ticket to Disneyland in 1985 was $16.50, as compared to prices today, with the cost to enter the park starting around $100.
