Craig Stowell took his family to the major theme park that is based within his hometown and was shocked that a single day out came to a cost of $1,400 made up of $30 for parking, $974 for five tickets using a Florida resident discount, and more than $245 for dinner.
Speaking in the viral video posted to TikTok, he said: "Trying to put a price tag versus value, what’s it worth?.
"The lines were so long, so we’re already a thousand [dollars] deep into the park. Now we’re going to drop another $US400 [$622] to get Lightning Passes.
"I don’t want to say it this way, but if you do the average of cost per ride, it probably isn’t really worth it."
Stowell claimed that Disney is "not interested" in those who simply want to make a day trip out of the theme park, and expected that his video would go viral because it is "so relatable" to many.
He told Fox News: "Unfortunately, I don’t think those day-trippers are what Disney wants.
