Their wallets were in a Disney World of hurt.
A Florida father left online viewers speechless after revealing that he paid nearly $1,400 to take his family of five to Disney World for just one day. A video detailing the exorbitant price tag has amassed over 7.7 million views on X.
“Here’s what a day at Disney cost me for a family of five,” explained the unnamed patriarch, who documented the price of tickets, parking, meals and snacks, along with items at the souvenir shops.
Before even embarking on the money-hemorrhaging adventure, the dad reportedly shelled out $30 for all-day parking at the attraction, which is located 20 minutes southwest of Orlando by car. The total cost of tickets for the quintet, including a child under 10, clocked in at an eye-popping $974 — approximately the cost of a round-trip flight from New York to Rome.
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.
After lunch, the family visited the Star Wars: Galaxy Edge park, where they dropped an astronomical amount on various cash-in products.
These included a “Star Wars”-themed Coca-Cola ($6.50), a churro, margarita and water ($36), and some special blue milk ($10.29) that first appeared in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” bringing their snack expense total to a shocking $101.29.

Living 2 hours north of Orlando I remember visiting relatives before DW when it was a sleepy little town full of orange groves.....And I liked it that way.
Yep....PT Barnum was right all along. 😏
That $119 is pushing $175 today.
Since everyone has phones why don’t they do a virtual queue? You sign up for the ride you want, and then go about your day. Within say a 30 minute window they send you a text QR code or something. When you get to the ride scan your QR code and get in a relatively short line.

I thought Disneyland was garbage. And that was 50 years ago.
You’re welcome!
I have to be in Orlando for the convention business, which leaves plenty of dead days. I spend that time at the rat, so a pass is cost-effective.
Partking is included with a pass. The rat loses money on my visits.
Camping with Steve is one of my favorites. I’ll stop what I’m doing to watch. I’ve even got the T-shirt
My quote of $175 came from an X posting, where someone had taking a photo of Magic Kingdom pricing at the ticket booth.

Go to an amusement park? I’m as likely to do that as I am to buy a ticket on a giant floating apartment building full of violent, rude obnoxious tourist.
I missed that, hopefully the writer got it wrong, or Disney fixed it.
Veterans and I think active military can get a lifetime National Park Pass for free. I’ve saved a few hundred on that.

Six Flags Over Texas
“In August 2017, in response to the controversial Unite the Right rally that was held in Charlottesville, Virginia, the park replaced its six flags (which had included the first Confederate flag, a Republic of Texas flag, a 19th-century Spanish flag, an 18th-century French flag, a 19th-century United States flag, and a 19th-century Mexican flag) with six American flags.”
