Disneyland honors the woman's free entry ticket from 1985

But one thing has not changed: the love of Canadian Tamia Richardson for Disney.

In August 2019, the park honored the free pass that visitor Richardson has received since 1985. Although Richardson has received it for decades, she was allowed to do so at no extra charge.

Richardson, who lives in the Edmonton suburb of Sherwood Park, Alberta, was planning a girls' trip to Disneyland with her mother, aunt and daughters, Mia and Maren, when she found the coupon.

The mother of two visited Disneyland for the first time in 1985 at the age of 14. It is also the year when Disneyland, located in Anaheim, California, celebrated its 30th anniversary.

In 1985, admission tickets cost $ 16.50. These days, the most basic admission ticket for a day costs $ 90.

"As part of its 30th anniversary, Disneyland presented the Extraordinary Gift, an extraordinary gift, which awards prizes to every 30th guest," said a Disney spokesperson at CNN Travel. "Tamia has earned a pass to use for a subsequent visit, she has kept it for 30 years and has used it today for her admission.

"Disney families are important to our family," said Kent Richardson, Tamia's husband, who kept the fireplace in Canada. "They have the time of their lives."

Nevertheless, all old passes or tickets that you find buried in the attic will not necessarily be honored at the House of the Mouse.

Passes that it is confirmed that they are not copies and that have no expiry date will be accepted to enter Disney parks, while "ABCDE" tickets ( used for the admission of amusement rides or individual attractions) are not acceptable.

In the past, some Disney staff members would have used a "Book of Life" if they needed to check a particular pass.
