A mother has taken to TikTok to explain just how expensive a day at Universal Studios in Florida can cost a family.
As a kid, some of the best family days are big trips out. The build up, the drive to wherever and the good vibes felt amongst the whole family can make for an unforgettable day.
However, as an adult, one thing you are now considering that you didnât even daydream about as a youngster, is the cost of the day.

Mum Miranda Pearce,@mirandapearce on TikTok, recently took her two kids to Universal Studios Florida and detailed the costs throughout and promised a surprising end total.
"Guess how much we spent in one day at Universal Studios Florida â wait for the end, you ainât gonna believe it," the 41-year-old marketeer said in the video.
Showing a clip of the family getting food at a drive-thru, which cost them a total of $21.79 for three breakfast combos including drinks, Pearce said: âThis is us getting breakfast at Wendyâs first of all, which was $21.

âThen we go for parking at Universal: $27.â
Pearce, from Sandbach, shows the $19 drink she bought for her son â which, thankfully, was a refillable offer as heâd proceeded to spill most of it.
After meeting King Julian from Madagascar, the family went for lunch, splashing out $62.79 on three bacon cheeseburgers with fries and a chicken Caesar salad.

Pearce then showed off the pricey Harry Potter Gryffindor journal they picked up, continuing: âThis was the only souvenir we bought at Harry Potter World... $42 plus the pen.
âThen, later in the afternoon, we got ice cream and fake smiles. This is $19.
âAnd I got a coffee because I was fading fast by that point - $4.â
Next, it was time to check out the Fast and Furious ride, before the family went to go and get dinner. Fortunately, this was about half the price of their previous meal, having stopped off at Burger King for a slightly cheaper feed.

âThen we paid for dinner â not too bad: $34 at Burger King,â Pearce said.
The mum then showed us the rest of the receipts from their day, counting everything together to get her staggering total.
She continued: âOh my God, you guys... $483 for the tickets and $396 for the fast passes â I ainât waiting around in any queue with a six-year-old. Would you have paid that?

âTotal of $1,113.40.â
But that wasnât even all of it... In the videoâs caption, Pearce added: âThatâs not even including tips.â
Might be a touch too costly for most but, then again, it might be worth it for a magical family day.
