One of the merriest paradises on Earth is turning out to be rather costly— which has eventually led few parents to develop creative ideas on ways to reduce expense.
Meet this TikTok woman who turned and dressed up his elementary school-age child into a baby to get free entry to Disney World, now this has ignited a debate regarding whether it’s wrong or genius.
The video posted by these women presents a group patiently waiting in line to buy tickets for Disney World with a baby-fit stroller.
Although a Disney cast member smirks and looks into the stroller, but chooses to stay quiet which means he already knows about the older child rolling past her, who is decked up in a blanket to avoid her not-so-infant legs. The moment the group walks away from the worker, this woman holds the girl, who is all set to go on about, dressed in a Cinderella outfit, she puts the blankets back onto their place.
“When Disney ticket prices go up,” the video had the caption, with the women adding: “Poor kid was in an infant car seat.”
“We [paid] for our tickets and witnessed the funniest thing we had ever seen & so we decided to share it so you can laugh too,” the person who supposedly was accompanying the women in the video commented on the platform.
To get an entry into Disney World park, you have to bear a cost of about $109 to $159 per day, which also gets affected by the date and time of your visit. The people aged 3 and up essentially have to buy a ticket. This video was uploaded on Monday but already has over 7 million views although there is a divided opinion on the video.
“My son is 4 but at Disneyland, he knows he’s 2,” added the other person, probably confessing she applied the same trick.“My parents [used] to make me do this,” said one.
“I fully support this because we went in May and it was literally like taking a second mortgage out on our house,” one person agreed. “We just teach our kids to lie about their age but this is epic,” wrote one. “I once did that [with] 3 kids lol. I told them if they stay quiet I’ll buy them all Disney dresses lol,” one went on.
Although, not everyone was quite okay with this. “The way people have no shame just continues to amaze me,” one user commented.“No way. I even explain to my kids it’s wrong to get fountain drinks with a water cup. It’s the principle of it,” said another, not seemingly impressed.
“I would understand if they had like 4 kids but they only had 1 but shooo they probably had to use her ticket money to pay for the gas to get there,” said another.
Some people who previously worked in Disney World even jumped in to share how they would react to such a situation.
“Worked the front gates, trust me we know,” said one. “We are told just to let it go.” I used to work at Disney and I had to ask guests if their child is under 3. I ain’t even mad at this LMAO,” another added jokingly.
