People left horrified as mum shares eye-watering amount she spent at Disneyland
A mother has shocked the internet by revealing how much money she spent on a trip to Disneyland.
In a video posted on TikTok, Ashley Bradford (@ashleyb_ox), shares exactly what she bought with €270/£229 at Disneyland Paris.
The mother first spent money on a Little Mermaid -themed bubble wand, which she explained cost €30/£25.64.
Next, she spent €19/£16.24 on face painting for her daughter before buying two Disney-themed macaroons for €5/£4.27.
One of the pricier items on her spending list were two burger meals and a kids meal for €49.50/£42.30.
She then buys three lollies for €12/£10.26, with a Lilo & Stitch and Minnie Mouse theme, before getting another three lollies for the same price.
The family purchased lots of sweet treats throughout the day, including a sweet stick €6.50/£5.56, a Mickey Mouse cookie for €3.50/£2.99, popcorn for €6.50/£5.56, candyfloss for €6/£5.13, a Mickey Mouse donut for €6.50/£5.56 and two crepes for €15/£12.82.
When it comes to savoury food, Ashley and family also purchased three hot dogs, one fries, chicken nuggets and three drinks for €60/£51.28, on top of their earlier burger meals.
The last buys on the family's spending list were an Ariel-themed key ring for €8.50/£7.26 and a light-up Mickey Mouse toy for €25/£21.37.
But while Ashley and her family might have enjoyed their trip to Disneyland, people were pretty horrified by their high spending costs.
'Francescondon79' says: 'Why would anyone throw away their money like that'.
'Heather Simms' adds: 'The bubble wand at 30 euros had me almost choking on my own tongue...settle down Disney.'
Another person says: 'I don't understand, this is a place for kids and they sell the things so expensive!'
However, many TikTokers weren't surprised by how much the family had spent.
One person says: 'I just got back from there. Spent £2,100 spending money in five days there, I have five kids. Soon adds up.'
And 'Tiffany Ashworth' says: 'Is it just me that doesn't think this place is expensive?'
But Ashley replied to the comment saying: 'If you think though park tickets on top of that at €200/£170 plus a day for a small family. If you've a few kids, it soon would add up.'
It comes as a father who took his family of five on a day-trip to Orlando's Walt Disney World resort revealed the unexpectedly high cost of their outing.
The man, from Florida, US, took to social media to break down the family's outgoings throughout the day, which later sparked a heated debate among viewers about the importance of budgeting.
In a video, reposted by @financedystop on X, the father documented the price of the family's tickets, parking, meals and snacks, as well as the staggering cost of items in souvenir shops.
Before the family even entered the park, the father revealed he forked out $30/£22 for all-day parking.

Kiera Knightley turns heads in a sheer white lace co-ord as she attends the Biarritz Film Festival
Kiera Knightley cut a stylish figure in a lace ensemble as she attended the Biarritz Film Festival in Paris. The British actress, 40, flashed a smile and waved to onlookers as she stepped out on Saturday for the star-studded event. Embracing the warmth, she wore a sheer white co-ord with gold button detailing that clung to her petite frame, pairing it with a pair of classy black mule sandals. Kiera's iconic bob framed her face with soft waves, and she completed her look with sunglasses. The superstar was stopped by fans on the street as she posed for quick photos. For six days, the Biarritz Film Festival – Nouvelles Vagues presents an international competition composed of eight feature films never before released in French theaters. Alongside the official competition, the Festival screens over thirty films, including an open-air screening. It comes after new accounts have shown there is a whopping £7.1million in profits at Kiera's company Ponder Rights, including £411,000 earned in 2024. Its riches sit alongside £9.7million held in performing arts company KCK Boo, as well as £7.8million worth of properties held in nominee company Charlotte Road - that's a total of almost £25million. Explaining her frugality, Keira said: 'Living an [expensive] lifestyle means you can't hang out with people who don't live that lifestyle. It alienates you.' 'Some of my best, most hilarious times, have been in the least luxurious places.' Keira is famously frugal - and when she shops at her local Tesco with her husband, Klaxons musician James Righton, they have been known to use separate self-service checkouts. The actress lives in a £4million North London mansion with her family. She bought the pad using a £2.3million loan from her own company. It comes after it was revealed Keira has 'reunited with Daniel Craig on the school run' after former co-stars enrolled their children in the same private school. Embracing the warmth, she wore a sheer white co-ord with gold button detailing that clung to her petite frame, pairing it with a pair of classy black mule sandals For six days, the Biarritz Film Festival – Nouvelles Vagues presents an international competition composed of eight feature films never before released in French theaters Keira's husband James is very involved in school activities, appearing in the Christmas show, and his enthusiasm is matched by Daniel and his Oscar-winning wife, Rachel Weisz. 'Keira and James are very into their children's school,' a source tells me. 'They always want to get involved and now it's rubbing off on Daniel and Rachel. Their kids are in the same year, which is handy.' Keira recently offered insights into her passions and politics in a new interview with Vanity Fair Italy as she shared her views on Brexit and climate change. The actress opened up about her 'left-wing artistic' opinions in a candid conversation with the fashion magazine in October. Keira revealed how she cried over the decision to leave the European Union during Brexit and shared her worries that the world will 'explode' due to climate change. Speaking on Brexit, she said: 'I campaigned for the remainside. I was in tears when Brexit happened. And I have no idea what is going to happen. 'But I really hope that, from now on, there will be better relations between the EU and Britain: the bad relationship was just ridiculous, particularly at a point when we needed to work together to solve such big problems.' Sharing her concerns about climate change, Keira went on: 'That and climate change. I mean, I'm worried that the world will explode! 'I always tell my daughters to grab happiness wherever they can find it, but I'm aware it won't be easy with all these situations getting out of control.' Elsewhere, Keira opened up about her opinion on paternity leave in the UK, which she claimed was a 'ridiculous system' because dads only get two weeks off. She said: 'We just have to look up at the Scandinavian countries: that's how you bring dads into childcare more. 'However, if I look at my group of friends, I see things are evolving: when I bring my kids to school, all of the dads are there.

Models lured to sick 'Porta-Potty' Dubai parties by men lavishing them with gifts
Dubai is known for its glitzy lifestyle that draws hundreds of social media influencers and reality TV stars - but inside, there's a dark secret that has sparked concern for the welfare of women travelling to the popular tourism hotspot. Models have been lured to sick 'Porta-Potty' parties by men lavishing them with gifts as we look at inside Dubai's dark underbelly. These twisted gatherings - reportedly organised by wealthy men - lure young models and influencers with promises of tens of thousands of pounds, luxury gifts, and lavish hotel stays, reports the Mirror. But behind the glitz lies a horrifying truth, including acts of extreme sexual degradation, physical abuse, and potential legal peril for the women involved. An influencer sparked concern on TikTok after sharing extravagant gifts bought for her by a stranger she met at the gym on Wednesday. Jade, who goes by @outplayedbyjade online, is originally from France but travelled to Dubai as she documented her trip online. In her video, she explained how she had been leaving the gym when workers approached her with a gift from someone she had met on the treadmill. "I didn't think much of it," she explained in the video. A worker handed her a bouquet of flowers and chocolate from the man she had struck up a conversation with. Flattered, she texted the number he had left with the gift to thank him, after which she then received a call from a shop assistant at the luxury jewellery designer store Van Cleef & Arpels. "I'm a very curious girl, so I make my way over to the shop," she explained. "This assistant pulls out a beautiful bracelet and a matching necklace." All together, the gifts were worth around £3,000. And while Jade was over the moon with her gifts, fans were quick to warn the influencer that he was a "professional" and to "be careful" amid reports of men recruiting women for " Porta-Parties" in Dubai. There was no information to confirm the intentions of the man spoiling Jade. Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, who was reportedly left for dead after attending one of the Porta-Potty parties. Maria vanished after telling her mother she'd been invited to stay overnight with two men claiming to be modelling agents. She never made her flight to Thailand. Ten days later, on March 19, she was found dumped at the roadside in Dubai, suffering from a shattered spine, broken limbs, and severe internal injuries. Maria has undergone multiple surgeries, and her family, now at her bedside, are desperate for answers. It's thought she is still recovering from her injuries. Dubai Police confirmed that Maria is receiving medical care, but claimed she 'entered a restricted construction site alone and fell from a height'. A statement many find hard to accept, given the disturbing rumours swirling around her disappearance. Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who has followed the case closely, bluntly alleged: "Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party. The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging for over a year." Gordon and others allege that Maria may have been forced to take part in a sex act involving human faeces - a central theme of these "Porta-Potty" events, where humiliation and abuse are part of the package. These parties reportedly involve women being paid vast sums of money to perform grotesque acts involving bodily fluids, degradation and pain. Viral videos have helped expose this shadowy world, but the abuse is largely hidden by Dubai's shiny reputation and strict censorship laws. And the women involved in these parties could even find themselves prosecuted. Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, has warned that women involved in these parties - even against their will - could face charges of adultery or indecency, especially if married men are present. "Sex outside marriage has been legalised in Dubai, but organisers have exploited this. Women think they're attending a private party - instead, they're thrown into horrific, dangerous situations with real legal risk," Stirling said. Maria's mother told Ukrainian media: "She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She's had three operations. She can't speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter claims he never saw her. We're terrified of what really happened."
