Several TikTokers in the most recent trending video were shocked by the price of a day at Florida’s Universal Studios park, but they weren’t entirely shocked either. The family might have used the money for a longer trip abroad, according to a number of posters that appeared to be situated in the U.K.
Ennaojopo’s simple message read: “Thank you for explaining we would never travel to [Universal Studios Florida, raised eyebrows, astonished expression emoji].”
The family “might have gone abroad to Portugal for a week and leased a villa for that [money],” according to Prezident Stevil.
The commenter bungle agreed, writing: “3 nights in Turkey flights and the all-inclusive hotel is £455 [about $518].
But totally worthwhile, according to user DJJonBlower. The world’s greatest location is Universal! User 6201541582331 concurred with this statement, writing: “Adding up all the expense is really startling and depressing. Though we love Universal. [Floating hearts emoji] smiley face
