The Happiest Place on Earth is becoming rather expensive — which has some parents getting creative on how to cut costs.
A TikTok of a woman who disguised an elementary school-age child as a baby to avoid paying the admission price at Disney World has sparked a debate on whether it’s wrong or genius.
The video shows a group waiting on line to purchase tickets for the park with a baby-appropriate stroller.

Which is why the prices kept going up
It’s wrong but it’s low on my concern meter. Sort of like all the nights I was kept awake worrying about bootlegs, video piracy and other crimes against big entertainment. In other words I slept soundly.
Well, that was way back in the 1970’s,
and I don’t know of any drive-in movies anywhere around here.

BS. Disney is a predator operation and deserves every financial consequence
I took my two sons twice in the mid-80’s. We drove from New York State to Florida, stopping along the way. Drove down 81 South in a snow storm the first time. On our first visit they were building Epcot Center. The second time we went it was open, but not all the countries were completed. We stayed at a Super 8 Motel not far away from Disney World. I think for the three of us for 2 days at the park, it was about $100.
We used to do this at Six Flags, and also brought our own prepared food (normally banned) because of “food allergies.” Screw ‘em all.
I also am “allergic” to $8 corn dogs. 😁
I never understood the draw... went to Disneyland in 64/65, wasn’t that impressed. I thought 60s disney flicks were noisy... never had a set of ears, cartoon dolls... none of that. I did outdoor stuff, chores, and homework. Played trombone, baseball, tennis and swam.
Sometimes I think the parents want to go to Disney World worse than the children do and force their children to go with them and have a completely miserable two or three days of running up balances on credit cards. What’s the point in all that BS?
Those children are sat in front of the boob tube with a bowl of junk food, and exist under a weird set of circumstances. There outdoor experiences are a fantasy!
We found a great way to avoid Disney’s excessive fees… we don’t go. But there are weird obsessive people when it comes to Disney. My husband has two over-50 male “friends” on FB who are obsessed with Disney and go more than once a year. Their posts are beyond cringy (posing with characters etc) - and before you ask, they are both married to women and have children. Nuts.
People are sheeple. We are done as a nation. I have tried to stay positive. Disney is the last place you would want to bring your families. But, the herds keep going, regardless.
Wrong
I went there one time in my life when I was 9 years old and wasn’t impressed. Then - 1973 - they had different colored tickets you had to buy for certain rides. Seemed like every ride we wanted to ride were not the color tickets my parents had purchased. Crazy.
Kings Island had opened a few months before we went to Disney and we went there (for $5) and we loved it so much more than Disneyworld (whichever one is in Florida).
I’ve never been back and never will.
I’m constantly amazed at how adults go there just for themselves. Even more amazed that it’s a honeymoon destination. I NEVER got that one!
LOL!
How many of the rides have restrictions on strollers? I don’t think that they thought this all the way through.
Then you keep defending and feeding that predator
I’m not defending them nor feeding them. You need to climb on down from that horse.
