A 7-year-old boy became Disney World’s 200 millionth guest and was awarded free admission for life. Nearly 40 years later, he is still taking advantage of the prize, visiting the parks with his wife and children. In July 1985, seven-year-old Virgil Waytes Jr. of Miami unknowingly became Walt Disney World’s 200 millionth guest as he passed through the entrance gates during his family’s first visit to the park. Disney marked the milestone with live music, fireworks, and a special ceremony that left the young boy completely surprised. As part of the celebration, he received one of the company’s rarest rewards: a lifetime pass granting free admission to Disney theme parks around the world. Nearly four decades later, Waytes still makes regular use of the extraordinary pass. It has no blackout dates and allows him to bring up to three guests on each visit. Now living in North Carolina, he often takes his wife and children to the parks, saying the greatest reward has been creating lasting family memories without the high cost of admission. Disney continues to honor the lifetime pass, and on some visits it has even covered food and merchandise purchases.(Historic Vids)
