I would think that by 2025, everybody knows that Disney is a wildly expensive vacation destination. If you regularly vacation to Disneyland or Disney World, you probably know exactly how to have a great trip, avoid long lines without breaking the bank, and do everything you want to do on a budget. There are entire books and YouTube channels devoted to teaching you exactly how to book your Disney vacation, laying out in no uncertain terms which attractions and experiences are worth the massive price tag and which are PT Barnum-esque rip-offs. 

If you’re not an experienced Disney traveler, you’re much more likely to get ripped off by financially nightmarish «once in a lifetime magical experiences.» You might assume that a breakfast where Disney princesses come up to your table and interact with your daughter will be worth every penny, but that wildly depends on your expectation of the price.
