Florida Dad's \$1400 Disney Trip Sparks Debate Over Rising Prices

A Florida father recently took his family of five to Disney World for a single day and spent \$1400. He shared his experience on TikTok, which went viral. "I feel punished by the park," he stated. His video details the costs: \$974 for tickets (with a Florida resident discount), \$30 for parking, and numerous other expenses. Internal Disney surveys reportedly show a decline in guests planning return visits in 2023. Industry insiders have warned in the Wall Street Journal that Disney's price increases are pricing out working-class families. The incident shines a light on the rising cost of family entertainment and the potential impact on the theme park industry.
