" I made a huge mistake . I kick the bucket to Disneyland … "
Recently, a dad on TikTok —@supermariozelaya— went viral forexplaining how he spent $1,200 on tickets alone at Disneyland in Paris:
I was unable to get in contact with@supermariozelaya, but his conversation definitely piqued my interest. As someone who lives in LA but doesn’t frequentDisney, I wondered how much people were actually spending in 2023. Well, a quick TikTok search helped me find out.
There is viral video after viral video of people sharing what they spent at Disney — and most are wild! One womanshared how three lightsabers cost $800. That same woman spent $3,758 for one day at Disney. 💀
Influencer@itskristiiitook people along on a day at Disney with her. She paid $144 for her entry ticket, $43 for ears, beignets for $5.40, a Mickey pretzel for $8, a slice of pizza and alien macaroon for $17, diet soda for $6.70, cold brew for $6.70, a Disney tote for $30, an ornament for her mom was $32, a birria grilled cheese was $16.50, her caramel macchiato was $6.70, her mini cake pop was $7, she got popcorn for $12.25, and to-go snacks for $27.50.
TikToker@jessicaxalexiswent to Disney for her first time and racked up a bill of$442and@itsmackenziecookspent$483.46.
Lots of people who aren’t even residents of California or Florida — like@themouselets— spend thousands of dollars a year on annual passes. She spends $1,400 per year per pass but says it is totally worth it.
However, some people have learned to be thrifty when it comes to expenses at Disney. User@mandaslitsaid their family of four only spent$888.23TOTAL — however, she is a SoCal resident so she was able to use a discount pass.
According toDisneyland’s website, the prices for one ticket range between $104–$179, depending on the date you want to go. If you want to visit both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, you’re looking at $169–$264 per ticket. And if you upgrade to their “lightning lane” entrance on select rides, it’s $25. Parking is $30 per day.
So, yeah, it’s expensive — especially if you have a family to pay for.
