The video from the father received over 7.7 million views on X and detailed the many high costs associated with one day at Disney World. After tickets, which cost a whopping $974, the Florida man spent $30 for all-day parking at the park, which put him over $1,000 before the day had even begun. Once in the park, the dad said that he almost paid $35 per person for a Lightning Lane pass, but he ultimately opted out after seeing the benefits would not exceed the cost. Per the New York Post:
Snacks also took a big bite out of the fam’s finances. After their first ride, they bought two water bottles and three ice creams, which set them back $29.50. Meanwhile, a pretzel for the kids and a beer for the dad cost another $19.
The family also visited the souvenir store, where the father put the kibosh on his son’s request for a $44.99 lightsaber.
The family initially wanted to enjoy a sit-down lunch at the Brown Derby, but they opted for a more cost-effective lunch after learning the prices. They instead all each enjoyed a personal-sized pizza, a side and a small soft drink. Lunch came to $44.35.
Over at Star Wars: Galaxy Edge park, the dad dropped some more money on coca cola, snacks, water, and blue milk, spending a total of $101.29.
The day ended with a full-on dinner at Frontera Cocina, bringing the total price tag for the day to $1,391.91.
As Breitbart News reported earlier this year, Disney executives have reportedly expressed worry behind closed doors that surging ticket prices could be alienating its core customer base – the middle-class.
“Executives at the Walt Disney Company are reportedly worried that soaring prices are alienating families from its theme parks, with internal surveys showing a decline in guests who are planning return visits to Walt Disney World and Disneyland,” the report said.
“The price of attending a Disney park has skyrocketed in recent years, with the typical price of a four-day stay inside the park rising by $1000 between 2019 and 2024, a new study conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed. The vast majority of that increase — nearly 80 percent — comes from new charges for services that were once free,” it added.
