    ” a once in a life time experience”. Hahahaha omg it’s a dang theme park. Get over yourself article. And sure the kid is upset. She wanted toys to play with. You can’t play with tickets on Christmas morning.

    1. Eric

      James I hope you don’t have kids

      1. Chris Wood

        I’m have every confidence that this little girl
        knows what the deal is. She was expecting toys and gifts and she had a hissy fit as females do when they don’t get what they want. I bet little brat is on tic toc trying to be cute.

        1. Alice

          She’s a toddler, you lunatic.

        2. Patricia

          Your inner narcissist is showing, jerk

          1. Bern. Bell

            Those with mean comments must have had lousy Christmas’ as a kid if they think a toddler would be happy with a suitcase full of paper on Christmas morning. It seems like a cruel prank. Nobody”a baby would like that!

        3. Sheila Litz

          Wow, you have a lot of displaced anger. Therapy can help if you are willing to change.

        4. Sue

          What are you talking about? She is a toddler! Omg get over yourself, are you deficient?

        5. Becky

          Found the incel

      2. I think I just had a great idea. Make it a crime to post your child on social media— like, till they’re 16 and are able to consent.

      3. Manny

        Blame the parents for posting this, and for expecting the youngest to “get it” immediately Im sure it took the parents ‘adult’ brains a few hours to put it all together.
        Then they expect a young chid to magically figure it out so mom & dad have the perfect reaction.
        Absurd staging.
        Kids are smart BUT clearly even the elder daughter took a few moments to put 2+2 together.

      4. Manny

        Shame & Blame the parents for posting this.
        They really expected the youngest to “get it” immediately?
        I’m sure it took the parents a few hours to put it all together.
        Yet, they expect a young chid to magically figure it out in an instant.
        Mom & dad are bummed they don’t have the perfect child reaction… so they shame the child on social media.
        Absurd staging even more absurd expectation
        Kids are smart BUT clearly even the elder daughter took a few moments to put 2+2 together.
        Any of you who don’t “get that”, shouldn’t have kids.

      5. Sue

        Why we you make that comment to James? He makes a valid point.

      6. Phil

        He was correct. The little girl wanted TOYS . She has no idea why she got SUITCASES with paper with words she can’t read. Plus I doubt she will remember the trip, the parents should had waited til she was abit older.

    2. Sheila Litz

      I agree with you James!

      1. CrabtownUSA

        $6000 mistake.

    3. Sue

      Agree with James, how is a toddler ungrateful? Can we say the parents are narcissists? Was it for show? Obviously the kids weren’t thrilled. Why not do something that would make all of you excited, it doesn’t have to be a production.

    4. Michelle

      Should of saved this type of gift for a summer vacation trip. Little kids at this age need toys to play with that what christmas is fo a young child. They don’t want suitcases and to be told your going to have to wait to enjoy your present til later. They don’t understand all they are thinking santa forgot about them this year.

  2. Sherry

    That’s the problem with kids today, they “ expect” things. Yes she should have had gift explained when she opened it since she doesn’t read but really?

    1. Clay

      The problem with the world is that adults don’t put things in perspective of a child!

      Problem with this world! The majority don’t put things in someone else’s perspective because it’s not a perspective they thought of on their own!

      Nice to see inside the magic backing the parents who already spent the money and not looking at it from the child’s point of view!

      Also just as bad if not worse someone high up said let’s run this article and video! Shows great parents giving their child the gift of Disney and her rejecting it! The humanity!!

      There just as sick as the parents! What did the parents get some discount with a video of the kids opening their presents on Christmas?

      Maybe it’s not the happiest place on Earth with all their wokeness? Could that be it?

      Woke Disney, we help you post videos to bully your child and belittle them! All about the kids!

      1. Jess

        Exactly. It’s like expecting the average two year old to complete complex algebra then getting mad because they don’t get it.

    2. Eric

      Sherry, she is 2 years old…you are a troll

      1. Les

        I hear you, let kids be kids, they have to grow up so fast these days because of peer pressure. Should’ve got her some toys, if you blow the money for the trip, you can definitely spend a little on Disney toys to go with the tickets.

    3. Stressedmama

      You expect a 2yr old to have the patience most adults lack??? You’re a sad person.

    4. Kathy

      Oh, please. It’s not “kids today.” I am 71 years old, and I clearly remember having expectations for Christmas.

      Get off of your high horse.

  3. JL

    She’s a toddler. Kids that she have a different concept of time. She is too young to understand what the gift meant.
    Toddlers live very much in the moment. Christmas means Santa and toys. And when they get to WDW, she likely won’t remember it’s her holiday gift.
    And that’s okay. That age-appropriate. She be thrilled to go and see the princesses, even if she does understand all the hoopla now

    1. Clay

      Also what a bunch of people who lie to their kids and tell them that Santa is real! Should I believe my parents? Nope they lied about other insignificant things!

      That fact does not matter don’t let facts get in the way of feelings!

      Name one time in history facts are more important then feelings?

      We all know there are many!

      1. meow

        Dude. she’s like 2 years old.

        1. Trish

          When we as grandparents took our son daugher in law and 2 young grandsons we printed pictures of what the gift was just on regular paper, at the top it said
          “Making Memories”
          and have been doing it this way every time.
          But kids will be kids age 2 or 15 they still like an actual gift to open up on Christmas day and they do!
          This is just how we do it taking in mind how we would have felt if we were the kid.
          And some of us just get the
          enjoy ment of seeing the kids happy, in thus world they need it as that 2 year old will be a 20 year old ket them enjoy now…
          Oh, one other note WHEN our one son asked my parents for a gift and it was there (opps forgot to get) they went out got it wrapped it and had it sticking out from behind the couch.
          But, each person does things differently

      2. Sue

        You had some issues it appears with your parents, life. Perhaps you might want to seek some counseling or therapy. It might help you with your anger and mistrust, lack of empathy.

  4. Christina

    Parents wasn’t thinking. Toddler wants toys. They should had put in a toy. Someone she could take w Disney. And a backpack to carry it. Honestly the oldest also got cheated.

  5. If this is first time she acted this way she just didn’t understand where her presents was we set our kids up for that holidays all they hear santas coming then she thought she got nothing lighten up on the child

    1. Doomslayer

      I mean… She’s a little little. She doesn’t understand and can’t read. As far as she’s concerned, she got clothes and a suitcase she doesn’t like. When you’re doing stuff like this, you have to keep age appropriateness in mind. If she’d get fussy because she didn’t get the same thing as sissy, change out a couple of the shirts for a plush or a doll. Have sissy tell her what’s going on. Don’t just do the exact same thing when they’re at such different levels in their development.

    2. Clay

      If this is no the first time she has acted this way then again it’s the parents fault!

      Where did she learn this type of behavior? School or home! A little of both but if she is really this way then it’s home and the parents fault!

      Yet Disney love these people as long as they buy stuff!

      1. Patricia

        She’s tiny and hasn’t had time to learn to hide her emotions for you

      2. Jess

        My guy, she’s two. Around two years old. You can not expect a two year old to have the same mindset as an older child.

  6. Doomslayer

    I mean… She’s a little little. She doesn’t understand and can’t read. As far as she’s concerned, she got clothes and a suitcase she doesn’t like.

Don’t just do the exact same thing when they’re at such different levels in their development. I would never get the 5 and 1 the same thing.

  7. Beef

    Exactly. It’s almost as if Mom wanted a viral moment and didn’t think about the difference. At this point it’s blatantly obvious especially because the elder child didn’t even understand what the gifts were leading too until she read the note. Still slightly too young.

  8. Malikfoxen

    I’m surprised anybody expected any level of intelligence or critical thought coming from a comment section in TikTok, if I’m honest.

  9. Ree

    She’s a toddler. Everyone of you would have reacted the same. The only difference is your parents didn’t post it on social media for their need of their 15 minutes of fame.

    1. Tissiny Montgomery

      Yup. I totally agree. They made a bad decision to post it.

  10. Gigi

    Totally parents fault. Get the kid a toy she’s a baby.

  11. Alex

    Honestly these are horrible parents. Not because of the girls throwing a tantrum but thinking this was ok to post on social media. There is no privacy for these kids and they are too young for that. It’s all about likes these days. Shame on them thinking this was a good idea to post.

  12. Clay

    Agree to think it’s sad how people try to make their child who is just a little girl look like a selfish spoiled brat!

    The funny part is that the little girl might just be a selfish brat! That’s so you can point the finger at the parents no matter what the situation is!

    She does not understand! That’s the lack of making the gift so the child can understand what going on! Would not a Micky Mouse doll holding a Disney ticket with a letter asking her to come to see Mickey at his magical kingdom be a better way to explain this to a child her age?

    Glad to see that it’s not just me! Feel it’s messed up when people post videos of their kids acting up over gifts that they got them what shows your child is spoiled and you know that is also 100% of the problem?

    And the worst parents award goes to……….. These people!! Show your video of your child acting like a brat because she can’t understand the complexity of the gift given! Make others feel sorry for you that you bought this awesome gift and your child does not appreciate it.

    Whatever it is this starts and ends with the parent’s fault!

    Off-topic question why do so many parents try to belittle and humiliate their children online? They are the first ones to scream when a kid is a kid to their child and tease them!

    Yet public video on the internet where not only can her friends watch this but so everyone else around the world can watch this also!

    Who is worse now? Bullying at school just doing it as school or your parents who bullied you in front of the world trying to get people who will sympathize with them? If messed up someone should call child protective services on them!

    1. Eric

      Clay, I hope and pray you don’t have kids. You seem very hateful and evil 😈 you have serious issues

  13. Clay

    It’s always great to publicly. Humiliate and belittle your child! Let’s look at it this way and not trying to be rude or crude.

    1# The child is the white or black crayon in the box! Not the brightest. I don’t believe this but if it’s so it’s the parents DNA that made her smart as a box of rocks. Parents fault!

    2# The child has no understanding what the gifts are about as it’s to complex for her to understand! Not like a dog collar and leash! This is what I believe she just to young to understand! Parents fault!

    3# Parents are just horrible people and believe getting strangers online to back them on there gift idea is more important then there child getting the gift idea! Kind of also believe this one. Parents fault!

    4# The child is a brat and is spoiled and the parents know it and continue enabling her to be spoiled! Again parents fault!

    No flame if you have a child who will not win any academic awards. I just wanted to put that out there! They are some of the best people in the world because they love in full with there hearts!

    Want to make a child understand what they are getting cloths and luggage is not going to do it for a kid! Remember getting cloths for Christmas? It sucked now a cloths carrier you can’t even use ones a month!

    Easy why not pick up a cheap stuffed Disney what character she likes or loves! Have it hole an envelope saying that she and her family are invited to Disney land/world to come see her/his home with your family!

  14. meow

    Y’all she’s like 2 years old. She’s acting immature because her brain literally is immature! She is too young to understand the value of the trip, too young to really even understand what Disney world actually is, and too young to understand the concept of “later”. All a toddler knows is “now”. To her “gift” = “new toy”. So of course she is disappointed. And her brain has not developed enough yet to understand how to process disappointment appropriately. so she cries, since that is the only way she knows how to handle negative emotions at this stage of her development. If you expect babies to act like mature adults and always act rationally, you’re going to be sorely disappointed when you have kids!

  15. Angel

    To all who areshaming the kid…She IS a toddler. You know? The age where santa comes n brings gifts if your good? She cant read as they established. So all she sees is she got a suitcase “whatever that is” (in her eyes) and clothing. No gifts. Does this mean she was bad n santa was mad!? So of COURSE she is gonna be heartbroken!
    It was n oversight to give them the same gift style (should have given the tot disney toys/plushies). Dont go punishing a little one for not having the mental development of a grown kid!

  16. Kathy

    I don’t blame the little one for being disappointed. But it seems to me that this kind of reaction is not the first time she acted like this. Don’t cave to a kid’s demands when they throw a fit!
    That said, the parents really should have gotten something for both kids they could enjoy on Christmas Day.

  17. Miss Amy

    I was blessed to be part of a WDW surprise for a coworker’s daughter and son. I make princess gowns so my part was to make a Cinderella gown for the daughter and a little blanket using material that had the Disney Park map on it with all the landmarks and characters. At the time neither could read so my then teenage daughter made a recording as if she were Cinderella and told them that she had sent some of her mice friend and the pattern so Miss Amy could make the special items. Oh, my, they were so excited. I received a thank you note from the children and the little brother asked if she could help Miss Amy make another blanket so his sister would get cold on the plane. My friend was brilliant! She knew exactly how to frame that moment and they still received a few gifts mostly from relatives.

  18. Amazing

    Why is no one helping/teaching that lil baby how to cope/regulate her emotions?

    1. Jess

      Because she is a baby. It’s comment like this that make me question people. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if you were mad a literal newborn couldn’t do taxes for you.

      1. Fonsman

        Jess I agree 100% with you on “@Amazing’s” not so amazing comment about regulating a 2yr old’s emotions.
        (Amazing – you must be a nun at a reform school, where you get to etch scars of inadequacy into the child’s subconscious mind.

  19. Deitra L Pawley

    She’s not ungrateful, she’s a toddler, if she was older her reaction probably would have been better, in fact maybe instead of getting her a suitcase and clothes the parents could have gotten her Disney themed toys,then they could have used that

  20. Kristin

    She’s a kid this is where they need to be parents and shit down and talk to her it’s not okay to blast your kids just because they expressed emotions it’s parents responsibility to teach them how to handle those emotions

  21. Elizabeth

    Her reaction was age appropriate. At age 2, they have an understanding of good or bad. Didn’t get a toy, that must they have been bad. Parents used an inappropriate gift for the toddler. The message of the theme park would have been the same with a doll and backpack, use the luggage and clothes for the trip. How the older daughter is irrelevant. When are adults going to expect literally babies to stop acting like adults? 2 yrs old doesn’t even know what emotions are or how to express them appropriately. Hell, some adults like they don’t either.

  22. Paul W

    Seems to me she is acting the way I would expect a 2 year old to act.

  23. Tissiny Montgomery

    Poor Lil baby. She probably thought she’d get a toy. Although I have four neices and nephews that are about the same age range and they showed very little interest in any of the presents they got. They looked at them then was off to play. One,Two,three year Olds are just like that. The fact that she cried disappointed means she’s intelligent enough to understand gifts a

    1. Tissiny Montgomery

      And gifts means toys. So yeah she’s going to cry. I’m surprised that her mom didn’t reach out to hold her and explain. Not a parent winning moment.

  24. Curt

    Might be the first clue that the child is too young for it, and won’t remember anyway.

  25. August J

    People need to give the youngest a break. She is to young to understand that Christmas is more than about Santa and gifts. Heck even most adults look at Christmas as a holiday for gifts and over drinking. Regardless of what anyone says it is the celebration of the winter solstice and was bastardized by Christianity to convert more people, than later used to sell merchandise. Sadly most holidays are now celebrated to sell merchandise and justify adults binging drinking. The child was just being a child and the parents failed to recognize thier audience. And anyone who says that the child should be punished is both a fool and ignorant of being a child.

  26. Tea4three

    Poor little girl, she is going to remember this as the worst Christmas ever! She got luggage and t-shirts for presents. Then after Christmas she will go to Disney World which I am sure will be a great vacation but she will never connect the two. Too bad that the parents and many commenters have lost the ability to see Christmas through the eyes of a child. Even the older child wasn’t too thrilled getting luggage and t-shirts. Maybe a toy of one of their favorite Disney characters would of been a better choice. Wow, what a magical Christmas!

  27. Nathan

    My god. People saying that this toddler need to know better. She is a toddler who wanted toys to play with and doesn’t know better. I have kids around the same age. They both would react the same way. So screw the people who agreed with the whole toddler need to know better.

  28. Stressedmama

    Articles like this are terrible. It’s really not hard to understand the position a child was in. Seeing a huge present. Going through the excitement of opening box after box and watching it get smaller. The. To see something completely unexpected and not understand what it is? Any child would be upset. You do these type of surprises to older kids. Not sure I read the age of the kids but I did see they are toddlers. People put too much expectations on small children.

    1. Nathan

      To live through them which they may not have the memories that the kids now have or going to have. Or something like that.

  29. LegoGuru2000

    This was normal child like behavior and as the parents have already explained the young one is too young to get it and calling her spoiled or claiming she needs punishment is just wrong.

  30. Teddy

    The fact that your child thinks that this is ok behavior speaks volumes as to the quality of the parenting she receives.

  31. Nana

    Several years ago my daughter and son-in-law surprised their 2 sons, our grandsons, who were around 5/6 and 10/11, with a trip to DW. After they opened the clues the younger one burst into tears…not tears of happiness!! All caught on video! Of course, he had a wonderful time a couple of months later!

  32. Wendy

    If I could afford a Disneyland day pass my kids would cry happy tears. This may the generation of entitlement, but to most it would be a dream come true. Get her a puzzle next year…just a puzzle.

  33. JB

    Just like the video itself the gift is for the parents not the kids. 2 is too young for Disney. The kid won’t be able to go on any worth while rides, won’t remember the trip, and is going to be stuck in a bunch of long lines all day. Bunch of trash on here and Tik Tok crapping on a 2 year old you psychotic Disney freaks. The World would be better off with less people like you and these selfish parents.

  34. than fulfilling

    At her age the youngest daughter has wishes that she gets a VERY RARE chance to see fulfilled!!! Being spoiled with continuous gifts all year is one thing; However, When the only occasions that you can EVER hope to receive something you truly desire are your birthday, Christmas, (and maybe Easter) and to be disappointed with something else can be EXTREMELY upsetting!!! This child probably only asked of a couple of items valued at $60.00 total… If the parents are on a budget and can’t afford it, that’s understandable…. However, these parents were more concerned with their daughter having a vacation to Disneyland than fulfilling her simple wish!!! TAKE A CLUE FOLKS, YOU CAN AFFORD AN ELABORATE VACATION, BUT YOU CAN’T FULFILL A SMALL WISH FOR A TOY?!?!?

  35. Jeremiah McKenna

    This is not the first time that this has happened, where the older daughter is ecstatic about going to Disney, and then the younger child has absolutely no idea what’s going on. We all know of the famous meme with the little blond girl, giving her sister the side eye because the older sister is freaking out in the back seat.

    People really need to stop posting these videos, they’re played out and boring.

  36. Connie

    Why would a parent let a video go viral showing a toddler having a temper tantrum?!
    That should be private.
