Father sues Disney over child ticket

He claims Shanghai resort wrong to link price to height, not age

A Chinese father is suing Shanghai International Theme Park Co, co-owner of Shanghai Disney Resort, claiming the park refused to issue a discounted ticket to his 10-year-old child.

The father, Liu Demin, a judge at Guangdong High People's Court, took his child to Shanghai Disney in January. He said he purchased a parent-child package priced at 499 yuan ($76.80) online, but his son was refused entrance at the resort as his height exceeded the eligible maximum of 1.4 meters for a child pass. The father was told to purchase a full-price adult ticket for the child instead.
