A recent TikTok video has gone viral for capturing a family’s “realistic day at Disneyland” in a hilariously accurate way.
Titled “Realistic sh–show day at Disneyland,” the clip follows a family of 4 with two toddlers as they enterprise into the “happiest place on earth.”
The mom, Chrys Marie, sarcastically narrates their experiences.
“Finally after two hours, we got on our first ride—which was only a 55-minute wait,” she explains.
Nonetheless, the initial excitement is short-lived, as the youngsters quickly grow “bored as f**k” so she buys them $12 iceblocks.
Next up, the mom says they went on a water ride that was “only a 70-minute wait.” Then, naturally, her son has a meltdown because truthfully, who wouldn’t at this point?
After a fast snooze in Dad’s arms, “he woke up like, ‘Why did you guys bring me to Disneyland? I’d fairly be watching my iPad.’”
Her kids then fight about which rides they need to go on next then beg for some $60 balloons.
Restaurants with ‘seven-hour waits’ and junk food overload
“Two rides and five hours later, we decided to eat some rattling food, but first we needed to park the stroller half a block away,” Marie says, filming the “automobile park” of back-to-back strollers.
“…The stroller they never want to sit down in anyway,” she adds, showing her kids roaming around while their dad pushes the empty [stroller]
Apparently, the restaurants had a “seven-hour wait” in order that they just got some rainbow popcorn and lollies and called it a meal.
In any case the junk food, her son puked up an artificial-green mess, something he looks extremely pleased with.
“The ten-minute fireworks show at the top of the night was about essentially the most peaceful a part of the day,” she concludes. “And we ended it by buying a $400 lightsaber. And that’s a wrap on the unhappiest f**king place on earth.”
“I swear I’ll NEVER go again”
The video struck a chord with parents in every single place, with many taking to the comments to present empathy and share their very own struggles.
“That is the parenting I live for,” one in all the highest comments read.
“Removes Disney from bucket list,” read one other.
“I stand by the whole lot she said!! Me and my primary-aged daughter went one time and all of the wait times were 60 mins or more, so we needed to do all of the kiddie rides JUST to say we got on some rides,” one frustrated mom recalled.
One other declared, “I swear I’ll NEVER go again,” while another person added, “We took our 4 kids (age four-15 on the time) in 2017 and I’m still recovering.”
“I assumed I used to be crazy for being irritable all day spending money, waiting in long lines, and sweating an ungodly amount while listening to crying,” a distinct viewer admitted.
Some people offered practical advice, like making reservations for restaurants prematurely and securing fast passes to reduce wait times.
While these suggestions are undoubtedly helpful, first-time visitors may not know easy methods to do that (not to say the value of fast passes!)
So, will you be heading to theme parks this upcoming Spring/Summer?
