When Disney throws a party, they do it big. For Disneyland’s 30th Anniversary, the Resort planned a spectacular $12 million giveaway, that featured the Gift Giver Extraordinaire Machine with prizes for every 30th guest that passed through the turnstiles (did any of you win big?). And some of these prizes were substantial, like one-time park passes and brand-new cars.
Today, history has come full circle for a guest who won one of those park passes over 30 years ago. Tamia Richardson from Edington, Alberta Canada was the lucky winner of free tickets on her last visit in 1985 when she was 14 years old. Tamia held onto that pass for 34 years and used it today for admission with her two daughters, Mia and Maren.
In 1985, the ticket price for Disneyland was $16.50… Oh, how times have changed.
To add the cherry on top, Tamia will be able to relive her last visit with the Main Street Electrical Parade. It was playing during her last trip to Disneyland, and now it has returned just in time for her trip today. Tonight, she will be able to remember the original parade and share the “electro-syntho-magnetic” magic with her daughters.
If you see Tamia in the park, be sure to congratulate her on her 30-year-old win and her return to the Happiest Place on Earth.
