A man used a 46-year-old Disney pass and was admitted.
The pass was purchased in the late 1970s, was good for one day in only one of the parks — Magic Kingdom.
According to the theme park's website, the "theme park ticket" available at Walt Disney World has a current base price of $109 per day.
Ables said in his TikTok video that his vintage pass cost $8, which means the price of a ticket for Disney World has increased by at least 1,262.5%.
The cost of a Magic Kingdom ticket may vary with prices over $184 for those over 10 and $179 for ages 3-to-9 years old.
Ables arrived at the ticket booth to redeem his "golden ticket," unsure if it would be accepted.
"I was getting nervous there, because she started aggressively stamping ‘void’ all over the ticket booklet and then left," he said in the video, which shows him approaching a park ticket booth.
"But she did come back with this yellow pass which, supposedly, is good to get into the park," Ables said.
Able learned that Magic Kingdom tickets that day cost $164 for customers ages 10 and up upon his arrival.
Fans of the park weight in on the fiasco --- they were shocked at the ticket price back then as it only cost Ables $1.
"As a former vacation planner - this is what we trained for and most of us never got to do. You made her day," one user commented.
"$8 in 1978 is worth about $40 in today’s value. Its crazy how much they keep increasing prices," another person wrote. "I’m just saying that based on inflation alone, prices should be about 1/3 of what they are now."
"I'm just saying your comparison is worthless on inflation alone. The park is more than 3x size, so you're actually getting a deal," one TikToker commented, defending the theme park's prices.
Ables' 46-year-old pass was labeled "10 adventures in one."
So, if anyone still has an old Disney pass, hang on to it. It may just be the 'golden ticket' into the park.
