MrBeast Spends $500K for After-Hours Disneyland Date

MrBeast, the world's most-subscribed YouTuber, made headlines by claiming to spend $500,000 for a private evening at Disneyland as the grand finale of a series of extravagant dates with his fiancée, Thea Booysen. While his video shows the couple and friends enjoying exclusive access to rides and attractions without crowds, Disney clarified that the visit was an after-hours experience and the park's normal operations were not disrupted for the event. Officially, Disney does not permit private rental of the entire park during regular hours, though after-hours events and special venue rentals are available to the public. The spectacle has reignited debate over influencer extravagance and the feasibility of such experiences for ordinary guests, with Disney-focused blogs reiterating that a full-park buyout is not typically possible. Historical precedent is rare, with Elizabeth Taylor's 1992 birthday party being a notable exception. The viral stunt has further cemented MrBeast's reputation for over-the-top, headline-grabbing generosity and entertainment.
