Disney World guest shuts down entire theme park – at a huge cost

IF you've ever been to Disney World, you'll definitely have been caught up in some long queues and big crowds.

But immediately after one couple got married, they refused to put up with long lines and hoards of people – so they shut down the whole of Magic Kingdom so they could have a fairytale wedding after party.

One of the couples' friends, named Lindsey Metselaar, shared a video of the event on Tiktok, which quickly went viral and has been viewed nearly 4m times.

She captioned the video: "My friend shut down Disney World for her wedding after party and it was the best thing ever."

In the video, you can see guests wearing Minnie Mouse ears and climbing onto rollercoasters without having to wait in line, as they were the only ones in the park.

Staying on brand, the couple had Disney-themed food for guests, which included Mickey shaped desserts.

There was a DJ playing tunes and people were dancing in front of the iconic Cinderella's Castle, and there were even characters dressed up and dancing with them, bringing even more magic to the occasion.

But before you start fantasising about your own private wedding in Disney World, be warned, private, after-hours wedding packages don't come cheap.

According to Magic Guides, to rent Magic Kingdom out for the evening costs a whopping $180,000.

So it might be a little over budget for most engaged couples, unfortunately.

Lindsey's video has received nearly 10,000 comments from people all wishing they could afford their own private party.

One person wrote: "Money does buy happiness lmao", and another put: "I'm so poor I didn't even know you could do this".

A third said determinedly: "I'm doing this for my wife. I don't care how long it takes to pay off."

Disney World is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and has a whole load of new additions to its four theme parks, including new shows, displays and food.

Disneyland Paris is also celebrating a big birthday this year, as the French park turns 30.

Guests will be able to enjoy new attractions, shows and food, as well as see all their favourite characters in new, special outfits to mark the occasion – including two for Minnie.

As well as a shimmery dress which will match Mickey and Donald, Minnie has got her first ever 'pant suit', which is the first time she has ever worn trousers.
