NORMAL, Ill. -- A gift card gaffe almost derailed an Illinois family's dream vacation, but the magic of Disney saved the day.

Two grandparents in charge were planning a big Christmas trip to a Disney park for 16 family members.

They stocked up on $10,000 worth of gift cards to buy park tickets and restaurant reservations, but there was one tiny problem: They were all for the Disney+ streaming service, and not for use at the theme park.

The story was shared on TikTok and has since gone viral.

In less than a day, Disney reached out to family and exchanged the streaming gift cards for park cards.
