Family Allegedly Tries to Smuggle a Child Into Disneyland As Prices Increase
As ticket prices climb sky-high, a video has gone viral of a parent seemingly trying to sneak their child into Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
The video — shared on TikTok by a blogger, Nef, with the handle sincitybornand raised — shows a man standing behind a stroller and zooms in on a child lying down in the back of it, munching on crackers. The kid is only visible through the mesh in the back of the stroller.
He captioned the post with the speculation: “Disney so expensive they smuggling kids in.”
However, the blogger told the New York Post in a Friday, April 10 story that he was not sure if the family was truly making an attempt to sneak into the park, let alone whether or not it worked.
The blogger also said there was a little girl in the front of the stroller while the other child was neatly and quietly tucked behind.
“All my years of Disney visits [I’ve] never seen [a kid] stay this calm in a space so little so it made me think [it was] not his first rodeo,” he told the outlet.
Indeed, prices for Disneyland as well as Disney World have gone up since 2025 and according to WDW Magic, have hit an all-time high.
A single-day, single-park ticket starts around $224 as of this writing. That price gets people into just one of the parks that make up Disneyland, which includes Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.
The same goes in Florida’s Walt Disney World, which is made up of four parks, including Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
