In the tradition of broadcast loyalty rewarded, ABC7 is offering Southern California families a chance to step inside Disneyland Resort during one of its most festive seasons — the 70th anniversary coinciding with Halloween Time. Each weekday morning from September 22 through October 3, 2025, a secret code surfaces briefly in the 6:00 am newscast, asking viewers to pay attention as the price of entry. It is a small ritual of presence in an age of distraction, where watching the local news becomes, for a moment, a door to something larger.

Retail (merchandise/food sales at parks)
Consumers gain promotional opportunities to visit Disneyland at reduced cost (free entry via sweepstakes), increasing park attendance and household discretionary spending on ancillary park services (food, merchandise, parking). Media viewers benefit from engagement incentives driving viewership.
Sweepstakes comply with FCC advertising regulations and state gambling/contest laws. Disney's park reservation system reflects post-pandemic capacity management policies. Terms emphasizing limited availability and modification rights protect against consumer liability claims.
