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 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.
