She had splurged on the theme park's most expensive restaurant in what she described as her “number one bucket list place”.
In the video, which has been viewed 1.2 million times, Bethany revealed how much she had spent in Victoria & Albert's.
She started the video by explaining that once you're sat at your table, you're given two options: the dining room menu, or the chef's menu.

The Disney food connoisseur went on to reveal that the dining room menu is a seven-course meal and is priced at $295 per person, while the chef's menu is a nine-course meal that costs a whopping $375 per person.
Bethany, who was joined by three other guests for their luxurious culinary experience, opted for the lavish chef's menu.
However, the expensive dining experience wasn’t enough for Bethany and her friends, who also decided to get wine, and therefore they spent $200 per person for eight pours of wine.

The TikTok revealed to her 383,300 followers that the wine pairing for the other menu was $50 cheaper.
In total, Bethany showed that the group of four ended up spending a mighty $1500 on food, and $800 on wine, and then the tax was $149.50. Subsequently, their bill totaled $2,449.50 before a tip.
She admitted in the video: "Obviously this is a huge splurge, but it has always been on my Disney bucket list.

Entering the happiest and most magical places on Earth has recently become more expensive.
According to a recent report by Today, Disney has increased the price of some tickets and parking at its Disney World and Disneyland theme parks.
The unique dining experience took four hours and was "well worth the price," according to Bethany

The Disney enthusiast described the pricey meal as "the best food and dining experience I've ever had in my life"
While a basic one-day ticket for the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, will reportedly remain $104, as of October 11, guests have to pay more for the other daily passes. The most expensive tier now costs $194, up from $179, the American broadcaster reported.
The price hikes reportedly affected the Park Hopper add-ons except for the one-day pass. They affected the Magic Key passes and Genie+ add-on, too. Disneyland Resort parking is also up $5, from $30 to $35.
A Disney spokesperson said in a statement: “We are constantly adding new, innovative attractions and entertainment to our parks, and, with our broad array of pricing options, the value of a theme park visit is reflected in the unique experiences that only Disney can offer.”
