A mom has stunned the internet with how much she spent on a family trip to Disney World.
Summer Reign Herring took to TikTok to share the eye-watering cost of a single-family day out at the iconic theme park.
She told her 1.7 million followers the ordeal was 'robbery in broad daylight' after reviewing her receipts.
“So here’s how much we spend at Disney,” she begins, as the text overlay reveals the mother had already spent $130 (AUD $204.3) on headbands and $870 (AUD $1,367) on tickets/lighting lane.
My wallet is already hurting.

"A mediocre breakfast at Hollywood and Vine cost us $223 (AUD $350.5)," Summer went on while she showed clips of the lush buffet situation.
"Then he headed over to Toy Story Land and even with Lightning Lane was still only got to write one ride."
She adds that ice cream was $23 (AUD $36) and popcorn was $16 (AUD $25).
"Then over at Galaxy's Edge, three lightsabers cost us a whopping $800 ($1,257.6)," Summer says.
"They also no longer hold them for you until the end of the day plus, different airlines have different restrictions when flying home so we opted to ship them to us for an additional cost.”
Summer explains that rides had '120-minute wait signs', adding: "So we only got to ride one ride in this section of the park as well."
"We tried out the infamous blue and green milk," she says, which came in at $27 (AUD $42.4) before an $80 (AUD $125.7) lunch and some funnel cakes for dessert for $44 (AUD $69).
A photo pass was an extra $170 (AUD $267) for 'cell-phone quality pictures'.
Before dinner, the mum picked up a lollipop and candy floss for $25 (AUD $39.3).
"And finally we had dinner at Planet Hollywood," which ended up being a jaw-dropping $311 (AUD $488.8).
"Factoring in our nightly hotel rate of $997 (AUD $1,567) brings our total to $3,758 (AUD $5,907) for today,” Summer concludes.
Users were completely shocked over the astronomical price, with some claiming the mother could've budgeted better.
One user wrote: “You spent $250 PER lightsaber???? I can't feel bad if you’re willing to do that.”
Another said: “Rename this to ‘How to do Disney with zero research and pay as much as possibl[e]’.”
While a third shared: “Would have been better off getting a VIP host and going on all the rides.”
However, the mother defended herself in the comments section that it was her son’s birthday and she wasn’t willing to ‘spare’ any expenses.
Go off, sis.
