A parent has sparked outrage online after revealing how much his family of five's breakfast at Disneyland cost.
The parent, who goes by John 'Rock & Roll' Tolkien or @jrockandrollt on X, formerly Twitter, had posted that the morning meal cost $937.65. He had shared in his post that the bill was for breakfast at Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Disneyland Resort in California, and that the meal was for just two kids and three adults. The total included a $150 tip.
"Princess Breakfast" at Disneyland with my kids," John "Rock & Roll" Tolkien (@jrockandrollt) wrote in the X post from June 17. "Almost spit out my coffee."

He added in the comments section: "I think if someone went to Disneyland and insisted on doing All The Things they could easily spend $3,000 per day."
Accompanying the text was an image of the bill the family had received after eating at the Disneyland venue. To date, the post has been viewed almost 17 million times by viewers on X. Many have shared their astonishment at the expensive outing in the comments section of the post, while others wrote that the parent must have been aware of the location's high price tag in advance.
"Please tell me you have 35 kids," one viewer said, while another added: "High bill should not be higher tip. This server 100 percent did not have to put in any more effort than an ihop server would just for the same amount of people. Just because the food is absurdly overpriced doesn't mean it was more work for the server."
"You're a great dad for doing this … Better than I'll ever be," a third commented.
"If I ever find your house I'm robbing you," one commenter said.
"You almost spit out your coffee when you saw a price that you already saw when you made the reservation," another added, referring to the fact that the venue's website notes that prices start at over $100 per person.
Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures is an immersive three-course breakfast experience available at Napa Rose Restaurant inside Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, a 4-star hotel located at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
Disneyland in Anaheim, California was opened 16 years before Walt Disney World was developed in Florida, near Orlando.
In 2023, Disneyland Resort in California welcomed more than 17 million visitors in total.
