US EditionDisney World trip leaves Florida dad stunned after $1,400 price tag for day at theme park
- Craig Stowell, a small business owner from Florida, reported that a day trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando with his spouse and three kids totaled almost $1,400.
- He explained the high cost began with ticket and parking fees and grew as additional expenses like Lightning Passes and meals accumulated.
- Stowell criticized Disney's pricing strategy, believing it favors long-term resort guests over local day-trippers and aims to have visitors spend multiple days and thousands of dollars.
- His video detailing the trip's cost went viral with over 34,000 views, highlighting that a Magic Kingdom ticket now ranges from $139 to $199, with optional add-ons like Lightning Lane passes costing up to $449 per person per day.
- Meanwhile, Disney theme parks face attendance declines since late 2023, attributed by business leaders and insiders to rising prices and economic factors, raising concerns about affordability for middle-class families.
