In the viral video, which has more than 130,000 views to date, the father said he made a “big mistake” by going to the theme park.
“I made a big mistake: I went to Disneyland in Paris. I’m almost ashamed of how much money I spent.
“The tickets alone, that’s $1,200. Why on earth would I do that?’ he said at the beginning of the clip.
He explained that the cost of each ticket was $120, but the family upgraded to a Premier pass, which was an additional $173 per person.
With a first class pass, guests can skip the line and enter the fast lane for each ride.
“It’s crazy how overcrowded Disney is. It doesn’t matter if it’s in Paris, Orlando or California, it’s always like that,” he said, showing a video of the queue for a “crappy ride.”
He revealed the wait time was “an hour and 15 minutes.”
To access another line you had to wait in line for ‘an hour and a half’ but as they had bought passes they were able to skip the line.

The father labeled Disney the “biggest money printing machine in the world,” adding that the lines were too long
“If you add up all the journeys we have made, we would have waited over 25 hours if we had done all the journeys.
“You’re better off buying a Disney access pass to skip the line than a three-day park day,” he said.
He added, “The crowds are endless, my advice: don’t go to Disney.
The father labeled Disney as the “biggest money printing machine in the world.”
He captioned the clip, “These are the Disney rules: expect crazy long wait times. If you don’t want to queue, expect a huge bill for an upgrade to a Premier Pass. If you decide to queue because the Premier pass doesn’t cover all rides, you can expect a hefty bill anyway.”
People flooded the comments with their thoughts, with many of them labeling the theme park a “ripoff.”
One person wrote: “What a rip off right now. I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of my money right now. I’m glad I went in the early 1990s when it was still affordable.’
Another user added, “It’s true, waiting two hours for a boring five minute ride.”
Someone else wrote, “Yeah, I never got the hype!”

‘My family went once and that was enough for us. It cost us about $5,000 for a family of five, and it wasn’t worth it,” another user added.
One person commented, “Disney in Paris is so overhyped and disappointing. And don’t forget the bad, expensive food.’
Disney World is a scam and no one will ever change their mind. Complete waste of money for a minimal experience.’ someone else added.
