Visiting Disney World alone can be an expensive trip, never mind the cost of food and drink on top.
A seven-day ticket for someone aged 10 and over can set you back an eye-watering $519 to just get access to the park, so it comes as no surprise that people may want to be a bit more frugal when spending money on food at Disney World.
But one woman decided to splash the cash in the theme park's most expensive restaurant, in what she described as her 'number one bucket list place'.

Bethany Vinton has a TikTok page dedicated to reviewing Disney Parks' food, and back in September she paid a visit to Disney World Florida's high-end establishment, Victoria & Albert's.
Bethany explained in the video that once you're sat at your table, you're given two options: the dining room menu, or the chef's menu.
The dining room menu is a seven-course meal and is priced at $295 per person, while the chef's menu is a whopping nine-course meal and will set you back $375 per person.
Bethany was joined for three others for their lavish meal out, with all four party members opting for the chef's menu.
But, despite the hefty price they were already paying for food, Bethany and her pals also chose to do the wine pairing which, with the menu they went for, is $200 per person for eight pours of wine.
The wine pairing for the other menu is $50 cheaper.
In total, the four of them spent $1500 on food, $800 on wine, and then tax was $149.50 - bringing their total bill to $2,449.50 (before a tip).
Yeesh.
"Obviously this is a huge splurge, but it has always been on my Disney bucket list," Bethany explained.
"When I started my Disney food and drink podcast last year, The Main Street Dish, this [restaurant] was our ultimate goal and we were so excited to finally check this off the bucket list."
They were at the restaurant for four hours.
In light of her sharing the price of their luxury dinner, fellow TikTokers have been left stunned.
"That’s 6 months of my rent," one person said of their hefty bill.
"That’s literally like a whole month of bills including rent for me," echoed another.
People also questioned if the money was worth it which, in a separate video where she reviewed her meal, Bethany said was 'well worth the price'.
