00:00I need six eggs!
00:02That's too expensive!
00:03There must be more than this provincial life!
00:08Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:10And today, we're counting down our picks for the most pricey experiences,
00:14merchandise, accommodation, and more available at various Disney parks.
00:18We'll also have some honorable mentions featuring once-free items that now demand cash.
00:23Hello, welcome to Club 33.
00:25Right this way, please.
00:27Number 20.
00:29Disney Citizen Watches
00:30And for the biggest collector, our special Mickey Mouse's Journey collector set.
00:35Trying to figure out if you have enough time to ride Space Mountain before the parade starts?
00:39You could look at your phone, but the classiest Disney fans can check the time in style.
00:44If you're passing by Fortuosity Shop on Main Street, USA, or off the page at California Adventure,
00:50pop in to see which Disney-themed Citizen watches are on display.
00:54Featuring characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and other properties, prices generally
01:00range from $250 to $650.
01:03If you buy through a secondary market, you could wind up paying more than $1,000 for some watches.
01:09One thing's for certain, those who throw down that kind of cash can't afford to be late
01:14ever again.
01:14I'm late for a very important date.
01:17No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
01:19Number 19.
01:21The Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique
01:22Your little one will be transformed into a prince or a princess fit for a royal ball.
01:27Your little princess will have the time of her life picking out the royal gown of her choice,
01:32as well as a crown, jewelry, and a scepter.
01:37Any child can feel like royalty at the Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique.
01:45It'll do magic, believe it or not.
01:47Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique
01:49Parents should be prepared to spend like a royal, however.
01:52While walk-ins are accepted, capacity is limited.
01:55As such, most guests make appointments in advance.
01:59It can cost between $59.99 and $229.99 plus tax to ensure entry.
02:05Once you're inside, there's still the matter of paying for your child's costume, styling,
02:09and other accessories.
02:11The Adventure Package is cheapest at $59.99, while the Fairy Tale Package starts at $119.99.
02:20The Kingdom Package is the most expensive at a starting price of $229.99.
02:26Daddy says it's only for emergencies.
02:29This is definitely an emergency.
02:32So you could cough up over $450 just to make one child's dream come true.
02:38Those with multiple kids may need a magic wand.
02:41Number 18.
02:42Fireworks Cruises
02:43This cruise costs $400.
02:46$399.
02:47Yep.
02:47For three people, that's pretty expensive, but you're allowed up to 10 on the boat.
02:53Fireworks displays at Disney Parks are free to all guests.
02:56For a unique vantage point, though, why not pay for a nighttime boat ride?
03:01Disney World offers multiple fireworks cruises.
03:04At the Magic Kingdom, guests can view the happily ever after fireworks from Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake.
03:20The Epcot Fireworks Cruise allows you to observe the luminous The Symphony of Us Spectacular from International Gateway.
03:27Chartered boats accommodate a maximum of 10 guests, with the lowest price being $499.
03:34That's not too bad if you're traveling with a big party.
03:37Of course, that's the starting price, so you may wind up forking over more than half a grand.
03:42As such, we recommend splitting the bill with friends and family aboard.
03:46And in last I see the fly, and it's like the fog has lifted.
03:55You know what won't cost you a thing?
03:57Heading over to Ms. Mojo's 24-7 livestream.
04:00Scan the QR code on screen to join us live for fun, free, and fancy-free Disney trivia.
04:05Can I borrow $2?
04:07$2?
04:12Number 17.
04:14Private Surf Sessions at Typhoon Lagoon.
04:16I was watching you catch some tasty waves out there.
04:19I want to surf too, bud.
04:21How do I do it?
04:22And I've never done this before.
04:23Well, Eric, it's very simple.
04:25Want to catch some waves while visiting Disney World's premier water park?
04:28It'll cost extra.
04:29How extra are we talking?
04:31That depends on just how much you want to be one with the water.
04:34There's no place I'd rather be
04:38Lingering in the ocean blue
04:42I surf till the sun sets beyond the horizon
04:46To share the waves with other guests,
04:49open surf sessions are priced at $325 per surfer.
04:53Typhoon Lagoon also offers private surf sessions,
04:57although the base price is $2,250.
05:00That will get you and 14 others some alone time with 100 waves.
05:04It makes waves that are 6 feet tall and that have 80,000 gallons of water.
05:09I mean, it's crazy.
05:11You can take surf lessons at this pool before the park officially opens and after the park closes.
05:17If your party exceeds 15 people, $90 will be added for every additional 5 guests.
05:23With the ceiling being 40 people, you may pay as much as $450, bringing your full price to $2,700.
05:31You could buy a surfboard or two with that kind of money.
05:34Number 16.
05:36Inspire Key
05:42Regulars who visit Disneyland and California Adventure several times per year
05:46may consider investing in a Magic Key annual pass.
05:49There are four options.
05:51But of course, you've got the key, so...
05:54From least to most expensive, they are the Imagine Key, Explore Key, Believe Key, and Inspire Key,
06:01the latter of which costs $1,899.
06:05This tier will get you 15% off select dining, 20% off select merchandise,
06:10a 25% Lightning Lane multi-pass discount, park hopper admission, and up to six reservations at a time.
06:17Come on.
06:18A bit closer.
06:19A bit closer.
06:20That's it.
06:21That's it, doggie.
06:22According to the Disneyland website, the Imagine Key is basically the equivalent of paying for
06:2711 annual trips to the happiest place on Earth.
06:30We wouldn't recommend it for those taking a once-in-a-lifetime vacation,
06:34but for locals, it may be the key to their wallets.
06:37You know, there's a math calculation, right, where you say,
06:40geez, how many times do you have to go in order for it to make sense?
06:44We easily make that number, and we're not too worried about it.
06:47Number 15.
06:48Grand Chateau Rooms at Fantasy Springs Hotel
06:51Look at the details.
06:54That is beautiful.
06:57How adorable is this?
06:59So apparently Rapunzel drew these, or painted them on.
07:04That is such a cute little detail.
07:07Tokyo DisneySea is one of the most distinctive Disney destinations that many Westerners have only
07:12dreamed of visiting.
07:14Perhaps the most enchanting area in the park is Fantasy Springs, which introduced a luxury hotel
07:19inside the park.
07:20Actually, it's more like two hotels rolled into one.
07:23The Fantasy Chateau, which is a deluxe type, and the Grand Chateau, which is a luxury type.
07:29What's the difference?
07:30Above all else, the price.
07:32For the most inexpensive option, you can get a room at the Fantasy Chateau for just over $400.
07:38If your heart is set on staying at the Grand Chateau, be prepared to spend over $2,000 for
07:43one night in even some of the cheaper rooms.
07:46You'll see where the money went, however.
07:48Oh, it's Arendelle Castle, and you can see Neverland.
07:55You can see the North Mountain over there, too.
08:01They really outdid themselves.
08:04Number 14.
08:05The Chef's Table at Victoria and Albert's.
08:07And now, we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents
08:14your dinner.
08:16Sitting within Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa at Walt Disney World Resort is the
08:21restaurant Victoria and Albert's, opened in 1988.
08:24It's named after the UK's Queen Victoria and her husband Albert.
08:28Considering it's the first Disney restaurant and the first American theme park resort
08:32establishment to get a Michelin star, it's not going to be cheap.
08:36Its most expensive package is eating at the chef's table.
08:39At the beginning of the experience, the bites will be very small, and as the progression of
08:45the menu evolves, the ingredients will become more and more robust.
08:50The sweet courses that are going to be enjoyed by our guests are just so fabulous.
08:56Taking around four hours and up to ten courses, the chef takes you on a journey as the dishes
09:01are prepared before your eyes.
09:02The price comes to $425 per person, with an additional $210 for wine pairing, or $145 for
09:11zero-proof pairings.
09:13As such, for two people with wine, you're looking at $1,270.
09:17Okay, right, thank you.
09:19Um, you know, can you just cancel my main dish and I'll just have the appetizers the main?
09:23Of course, sir.
09:24Number 13.
09:26Private VIP Tour
09:27Our theme parks are full of royalty.
09:30But you know what?
09:31You don't have to be royalty to receive royal treatment.
09:34Do you find Disney parks overwhelming and confusing?
09:37Or are you an avid House of Mouse fan who wants to absorb every morsel of the brand?
09:41Well, if either of those descriptions fits you, then a VIP tour sounds ideal.
09:46When looking at a guide map, there's a lot of stuff that you want to see and do, but might
09:50not know the exact way to do it.
09:51By having a Walt Disney World VIP tour guide, we'll kind of act as your walking, talking
09:55guide map to make sure that your family has a little deficient vacation, but mostly the
09:59most fun.
09:59A concierge collects you from your hotel and then escorts your party around, all while giving
10:04you facts.
10:05Depending on the season, the cost comes in between $450 and $900 per hour.
10:11Considering it's a minimum of seven hours, on the high end, you're looking at $6,300.
10:17It also doesn't include admission tickets, hiking the price up even more.
10:21I'll die a pulper yet.
10:23Here, take it.
10:24I'll starve.
10:26You find me lying in the gutter with me feet sticking up in the air.
10:28You might think the count is a bit short.
10:30While seemingly not available anymore, Disney did offer a more prestigious World of Dreams
10:35tour, which was a whopping $12,000 for up to 12 hours.
10:39Is there a better way to maximize the magic of our theme parks?
10:43So what are you waiting for?
10:45The red carpet awaits.
10:47Number 12, an overwater bungalow at the Polynesian Village Resort.
10:51Lush vegetation, white sand beaches, and the laid-back spirit of the islands.
10:57Disney has some of the most varied accommodations around, one of which is the Polynesian Villas
11:02and Bungalows Resort at Walt Disney World.
11:05Yet, if you want to go even further with the enchanting experience, then getting a room
11:09at one of the overwater bungalows, which are held up by stilts, is ideal.
11:13Stepping out onto the partial wraparound deck, the views here will take any Disney lover's
11:18breath away.
11:19Sitting on Seven Seas Lagoon, the private over-the-water patio makes you feel like you're in a world of
11:24your own, with views of Cinderella Castle by day, and the castle with fireworks lighting
11:28up the sky at night.
11:30As well as the stylish Polynesian-inspired interior and artwork, the bathroom mirror even
11:35doubles as a TV.
11:36The bungalows also have a plunge pool outside for a quick dip.
11:40Depending on the type of bungalow, costs range from $3,500 to over $5,500 per night.
11:46As such, it can quickly add up if you're staying multiple days.
11:50Oh, I mean, I wasn't…
11:53What?
11:53They're calling me, so I gotta…
11:56Bye!
11:57Number 11.
11:58Frozen Royal Suite at Disneyland Paris
12:01The window was open, so's that door.
12:03I didn't know they did that anymore.
12:06Who knew we owned a thousand salad plates?
12:10Arendelle came to Disneyland Paris in 2026 with the World of Frozen area.
12:14You haven't truly experienced frozen fever, though, until you've stayed at this themed
12:19suite at the Disneyland Hotel.
12:21Oh, come on.
12:22It's a palace made of ice.
12:24Ice is my life.
12:25The Royal Suite is based on Elsa's Ice Palace, being described as the hotel's, quote,
12:30grandest suite.
12:31In 2024, it was reported that one night in the suite would cost around $11,000 per night.
12:37That's almost double what a stay at the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser would have cost your
12:40family.
12:41Of course, where that ill-fated hotel banked on attracting the general public, this one-of-a-kind
12:47frozen suite is clearly catered to a select few who can afford it.
12:50Unfortunately for us, our assets are currently frozen.
12:54His assets frozen.
12:56The venue chosen is the ends of the earth.
12:59We're...
13:00Number 10.
13:01A Bejeweled Dumbo Figurine
13:03Just look down here, brother.
13:05And prepare yourself for a shot.
13:07In 1964, the Spanish glassblowing extraordinaires the Arribas Brothers were discovered by Walt
13:14Disney as they showcased their work at the New York World's Fair.
13:17Three years later, the brothers were invited to open a store at Disneyland and appear to
13:21have maintained a close relationship, as the Arribas have created stunning statues of the
13:26company's characters ever since.
13:28One of which is a Dumbo figurine covered in sparkling jewels.
13:32I can see it all now.
13:34Dumbo!
13:35The ninth wonder of the universe!
13:36With a limited edition of 188, each statue, which comes in at 8.5 inches tall and 7 inches wide,
13:44holds 31,000 high-quality crystal stones to give it that alluring shine.
13:49With all that luxurious care, the statue is currently being sold for $16,900.
13:55Aw, gee, Dumbo.
13:57I think your ears are beautiful.
14:00Sure.
14:01As a matter of fact, I think they're very decorative.
14:04Number 9.
14:0521 Royal Experience
14:0721 Royal is 12 people going to a dinner party at Walt Disney's house.
14:11There's so much that goes into it from a culinary perspective, from a wine pairing perspective,
14:15but all of that kind of fades away.
14:17We want it to feel like a home.
14:19With the apartment on Main Street USA only being so large, Walt Disney envisioned a bigger
14:24space in Disneyland where he and his wife Lillian could welcome VIPs.
14:28This space was actually planned to be Walt's apartment here at Disneyland.
14:33The rooms, which most recently housed the Disney Gallery, have been restored to Walt
14:37Disney's original vision of deluxe living quarters, all with special effects and surprises.
14:43Walt died before his vision could be realized, but the project came to fruition in
14:47the late 2000s.
14:49Located in New Orleans Square, the Disneyland Dream Suite welcomed very special guests until
14:542016.
14:56It was retired in favor of the 21 Royal Experience, in which up to 12 lucky individuals can have
15:02the ultimate Disneyland dinner party.
15:04The lavish decor, gourmet cuisine, and professional butlers will reportedly cost your group an astronomical
15:11$18,000.
15:13The finest ingredients prepared in a restrained but vivacious and bold manner.
15:19You're in the middle of Disneyland, and yet you feel like you're a million miles away.
15:25To get the most bang for your buck, book on a night when you can view Fantasmic from the
15:29private balcony.
15:30Number 8.
15:31A life-sized R2-D2 droid.
15:34Uncle Owen?
15:35Yeah?
15:35What about that one?
15:36What about that blue one?
15:37We'll take that one.
15:38Mommy?
15:38I am the blue dog.
15:40I'm quite sure you'll be very pleased with that one, sir.
15:42He really is in first-class condition.
15:44Thanks to the modern age, all sorts of items and characters that were once stuck in the
15:48realm of science fiction have been recreated in the real world.
15:52Over in the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge attraction is the Droid Depot, where guests can create their
15:57own companion.
15:58However, they can also get their mitts on a life-sized R2-D2 to defend or conquer the
16:02galaxy with, as well as interacting with you and making the iconic beeps and boops.
16:07What's this?
16:08What is what?
16:09He asked you a question.
16:11What is that?
16:12R2 is remote-controlled, so you can wander the streets with it.
16:15You can even choose whether it comes shiny, factory new, or in its more run-down appearance
16:20from the films.
16:21However, getting this sassy bot will set you back a startling $25,000.
16:30Number 7.
16:32The Royal Suite at the Four Seasons Orlando
16:34If you want a bit more luxury at your accommodation without massive Disney influence, then the Four
16:39Seasons Resort at Disney World might be for you.
16:41One of its most prestigious rooms is the Royal Suite.
16:44It's on the 16th floor.
16:45It can transform into a nine-bedroom residence with a thousand-square-foot terrace.
16:50Occupying 3,300 square feet, the suite features up to three living rooms, a media room, two
16:57gas fireplaces, a pantry kitchen, and a marble bathroom with a smaller powder room.
17:03Complimentary features also include 24-hour in-room dining, a daily newspaper, and a shoe-shine
17:09service.
17:10When there's a shine on your shoes, there's a melody in your heart, what a wonderful way
17:16to start the day.
17:19Yet even better, the suite offers a great view of the Magic Kingdom Park's fireworks display.
17:25With this taste of the extravagant, so is the price of it, as it starts at $17,000 per
17:30night.
17:31Shut up!
17:34I beg your pardon, shut up!
17:37Your Majesty, in America it doesn't always mean be quiet.
17:40Here it could mean, wow, gee whiz, golly wallace...
17:43Oh, I understand, thank you.
17:44Number 6, the crystal replica of Spaceship Earth.
17:47Since it first opened in 1982, the Spaceship Earth attraction at Walt Disney World's Epcot
17:52has been one of the company's most iconic sights.
17:54What makes this more impressive is that it doesn't feature any Disney cartoon characters.
17:59All right then, I guess I'll just have to go all alone, that's all.
18:06Just sit in the boat, all alone.
18:10I talk to myself, all alone.
18:15If you've been beguiled by the time machine ride and wanted to take a memory home, then
18:19you can.
18:20However, you're gonna need deep, deep pockets.
18:23Can we talk in Mariana's Trench Deep or Dante's Ninth Circle Deep?
18:27Created by the Arribas Brothers, 122,800 Austrian crystal stones were used to bejewel the limited
18:34edition statue, coming in at a price of $79,000.
18:38However, to celebrate the park's 40th anniversary, the Arribas created a 40 limited multicolor statue,
18:44taking 681 hours for each one to be hand-pressed with 155,300 crystals.
18:52These versions cost $99,000.
18:54This didn't make you nervous to be in the same room with thousands of dollars worth of diamonds
18:59and unable to touch them?
19:02No?
19:04Like an alcoholic outside of a bar on election day.
19:08Number 5.
19:09Marriage Packages
19:10If their vast filmography has proven anything over the decades, Disney loves love.
19:15Yet what seemingly grabs their attention more is making money from it.
19:19So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is.
19:25It may not be for you, but it most certainly is for me.
19:28If you wanted to tie the knot, but desired a House of Mouse twist,
19:32there's Disney's Fairytale Weddings and Honeymoons program,
19:35which will help you magically tie the knot.
19:37Naptuals at Walt Disney World start from $15,000.
19:41However, with extra features, including having the marriage after park hours,
19:45the cost can quickly shoot up to $100,000.
19:47With the average cost reportedly between $30,000 and $40,000.
19:53Yet the price can go up further if you require a dress styled after a Disney princess,
19:57which varies from $1,200 to $9,500.
20:01Oh, it's a beautiful dress.
20:04Did you ever see such a beautiful dress?
20:07Number 4.
20:09A Bejeweled Cinderella's Castle Replica
20:11A polish up real, a polish up real, nice.
20:19Whether you're at Florida's Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World
20:22or Japan's Tokyo Disneyland at the Tokyo Disney Resort,
20:25one of the sights you'll be instantly drawn to is the stunning Cinderella Castle.
20:29But if you want to continue having the structure take your breath away at home,
20:33you can.
20:34For a massive monetary cost.
20:36I'm only a girl, not a princess.
20:39And I'm only a lizard, not a footman.
20:43Enjoy it while it lasts.
20:46Developed by the Arribas Brothers and unveiled in 2022,
20:49it took them nearly six months, around 3,835 hours,
20:54to make just one of the 50 available,
20:56as they placed 678,402 crystal stones by hand.
21:02As such, the price of the glittery castle was $250,000.
21:06However, guests have recently seen that price has increased once again
21:10to an eye-watering $285,000.
21:13Were you expecting that?
21:14For it to cost the same as a house?
21:15So worth it.
21:16Number 3.
21:17The Royal Splendor Top Floor Package
21:27If our previous entry about the Royal Suite at the Four Seasons Orlando
21:31sounded wonderful but not expensive enough,
21:34then this is just for you.
21:35The company offers guests with massive bank accounts
21:38the chance to hire the whole 16th floor.
21:41That includes the Royal Suite, the Presidential Suite,
21:43and several other bedrooms.
21:45People just like to have a little bit of a getaway.
21:48You know, I don't want to worry.
21:50Give me that luxury feel.
21:52Altogether, this allows up to 50 guests to stay within 21 bedrooms.
21:56As well as all the amenities that come with the suites,
21:59guests can also receive signature experiences,
22:01including VIP tours of the Disney parks.
22:04You can even have a butler for up to eight hours per day.
22:07For five nights enjoying the Royal Splendor Package,
22:10guests will have to fork out an astonishing $500,000.
22:14Everyone should experience first class at least once in their lives,
22:16and Annie shouldn't miss out just because she can't afford it.
22:19No, ma'am, I'm afraid that's not allowed.
22:20Help me, I'm poor.
22:22Number two, Club 33.
22:24So Walt created a place that you could entertain.
22:31As the club is for members only,
22:33the tour just gets you into the lobby.
22:35For Disney diehards, it doesn't get much more exclusive than Club 33.
22:40You and me, we're in a club now.
22:42While a few variations have opened across Disney parks,
22:45the original private dining club can still be found above Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square.
22:50Of course, the location has expanded since 1967.
22:54That doesn't mean it's become any less exclusive or inexpensive.
22:58While Club 33's existence is an open secret,
23:01what lies inside remains something of an enigma to outsiders who aren't even permitted to take a peek.
23:06It's like Fight Club.
23:08What happens to Club 33?
23:12I can tell you that it really, it's all that.
23:15It's really, really, really, really, really, really special.
23:17Membership prices have varied over time,
23:19but recent estimates suggest that an individual initiation fee may cost over $20,000,
23:26with some reports going as high as $50,000 to $65,000.
23:30And that's before taking annual dues into account.
23:33You have to be an exclusive member to get in.
23:36Disneyland has an exclusive club inside, and it's just for, I mean, like, no one, I couldn't go in there,
23:42right?
23:42No.
23:43Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
23:47Magic Bands.
23:48Changed to paid from free in 2021, the bands can be sold for as much as $65.
23:53My personal favorite, all the Star Wars right here.
23:56Oh, of course, and then we've got Dumbo right down here.
23:58And what I love is you can purchase these Magic Bands Plus in the resorts.
24:01You can get them here at the parks or at Disney Springs.
24:03No more complimentary transport.
24:05The free Magical Express airport bus was removed in 2021 for over $16 per adult tickets.
24:12I know we're being taken for a ride.
24:14Well, if we are, let's enjoy the scenery.
24:17I'm scared.
24:18I want to go home.
24:19Not free fast passes.
24:212022 saw the free virtual queue service vanish for around $20 per day alternatives.
24:27Because, you know, it was such a deal to get in there anyways.
24:30The new service will be available this fall.
24:35If you love games, be sure to check out WatchMojo's new game, Terrible Influence.

24:47of the most popular girls in school and us, WatchMojo.
24:50Boom.
24:51I can make an apology video.
24:52Oh, you were so good.

24:57Influence.
25:00Number 1.
25:02Golden Oak.
25:03Imagine what it would be like to live just four miles from Magic Kingdom Park.
25:10Welcome to Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort.
25:15What if we told you that you could live at Disney World?
25:18Technically, you can.
25:19The residential community Golden Oak is part of the Walt Disney World Resort.
25:23With the first residents arriving in 2011, Golden Oak consists of several luxurious neighborhoods.
25:29The Magic Kingdom is located only four miles away, meaning homeowners can essentially tell
25:34people the Disney parks are in their backyard.
25:36For magnificent memories that are one of a kind.
25:42And coach rides to the world's most famous wonderland.
25:46The only downside is that you'd have to be about as loaded as Scrooge McDuck to live here.
25:50While it depends on the house and neighborhood, you'll need somewhere between $8 million and
25:55$20 million in your bank account.
25:57If that's out of your price range, you can always book a Four Seasons private residence
26:01for a measly $5 million.
26:03Do you have an appointment?
26:04I'm an old friend.
26:05I just wanted to...
26:06All visitors are required to make a rent.
26:08Go check the electric fence or something.
26:10What is it?
26:11Who are you?
26:12What do what?
26:12What's the most expensive thing you've ever splurged on at a Disney park?
