Disney World may be the Happiest Place on Earth, but it's also one of the most expensive.
Like everything else, this has only gotten worse with inflation.
So it’s no wonder that people aren’t opposed to using different hacks to save some money. Some of these, however, may be going too far, like when a mother hid her child in a baby stroller to avoid paying admission.
The viral video was posted to TikTok by @myfrienditsmebarbie. With the “how would they know” viral TikTok sound playing in the background, a group of women were shown waiting in line for tickets.
In case you didn't know, children under the age of three receive free admission. The price goes up to $104 per person for children aged three to nine and $109 for children aged 10 and older.
They did so by putting the little girl in the baby-sized stroller.“When Disney ticket prices go up,” a text caption wrote. “Poor kid was in an infant car seat.”
It's been viewed more than 9.1 million times. It also received thousands of comments, with many users sharing their mixed reactions to the heist. “We just teach our kids to lie about their age. But this is epic,” one person commented.
Given how expensive Disney can be, many supported the money-saving tactic. "I fully support this because we went in May and it was literally like taking a second mortgage out on our house," someone commented.
Some users even shared stories of their parents doing something similar.
"I remember me and my cousins laying down in the back seat with some blankets over me as we drove into the drive in movies," a woman shared.
In case you're wondering how Disney workers feel about all this, some gave their opinion on it in the comments. "Worked the front gates, trust me we know. We are told to just let it go,” one person wrote.
“It looks like the cast member noticed but she pretended to not see the little girl but her smile says it all!” a third claimed.
"The way people have no shame just continues to amaze me," a user wrote. "How embarrassing," another wrote.
In fairness, more children getting in for free = longer lines.
“And that just ruins it for everyone else," someone else replied. This sparked another debate.
"To all the negative comments, Disney makes enough money! And they aren’t paying your bills so leave these people alone!” a person wrote, with another adding, “No judgement here. You gotta do what you gotta do to get some Disney magic sometimes."
