Disneyland, located in Anaheim, California, is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

Families flock there each and every day to enjoy the wonders of all things Disney-related.

But, the fact is, things are tough out there for a lot of people and folks are trying to save money any way they can.

A TikTokker captured something on camera at Disneyland that turned into a viral moment.

But if you look closely enough, you might notice something unusual…

In fact, a kid was hidden in the stroller!

And the person who posted the video thinks they know what was going on here.

The video’s text overlay reads, “Disney so expensive they smuggling kids in.”

Considering today’s prices, can you blame these folks for doing this?

Be honest…
