For many children, a trip to Disneyland or Disney World is a dream come true. However, for parents, there’s a growing debate about giving their kids that experience despite the high cost. A day at the Disney theme parks in California and Florida can cost families upwards of $1,000 when including tickets, parking, hotels, and food.
Parents are feeling the pressure to take their kids to Disney at least once and admit they feel guilty when they can’t afford it. The issue has sparked a debate among parents and even Good Day LA anchors Melvin Robert, Amanda Salas, and Jenn Lahmers.
Some parents argue that the Disney experience is worth the high price, as it’s a chance for their children to create lifelong memories. Others feel that the cost is too prohibitive and that there are many other ways to create similar experiences for their children without breaking the bank.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s clear that the high cost of the Disney experience is a source of stress and debate for many parents.
