A father has shocked people with a photo of his receipt from a ‘Princess Breakfast’ at Disneyland California.

Taking to X, John ‘@jrockandrollt’ wrote: ‘Princess Breakfast at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee.

‘If I find that goddamn mouse I am going to mug him.’ 

In the photo of his receipt shared alongside his post, the father revealed he spent $937.65/£695 on the lavish breakfast, including a tip of $150/£111. 

He explained there were five people in total at the brunch – two children and three adults – meaning the price came to $187/£139 per person. 

The father also shared a photo of the breakfast in the comments, revealing his meal included beef steak, a devilled egg, asparagus and prawns. 

And when it came to drinks, the group had just one alcoholic beverage, a Bloody Mary, with their meal.

Many commenters were shocked by the price of the breakfast with one person joking: ‘How many princesses did you eat?’

Another person says: ‘There isn’t a meal on this Earth worth that much.’ 

On its website, Disney describes its Princess Breakfast as a ‘unforgettable 3-course breakfast’ accompanied by ‘enchanting encounters with some favourite Disney Princesses’. 

Appetisers could include mini lobster rolls, beignets and banana wraps, and a child main’s course consists of chicken and Mickey waffles, while adults could opt for devilled eggs, turkey sausage and truffle mac and cheese. 

The website also states that the price of the breakfast starts at $142/£105 a person.

And for this reason, many people on X felt that John should have been aware that he was booking a luxury experience.

One person writes: ‘Bro they tell you the price when you book. If you’re surprised that’s on you.’ 

And ‘Ray Q’ says: ‘Why? You should know roughly how much it would cost before you had it.’  

‘Parenting in the USA’ says: ‘They are pretty clear at the Grand California about the cost of that per guest and it takes months to get a reservation. How was the experience over all?’

Despite his shock at the price, John admits that he ‘enjoyed’ the Princess Brunch experience, saying: ‘It was fun, the food was probably 7/10, service was attentive and enthusiastic, princesses were all trained pro actresses and spent a lot of time with the kids. I enjoyed it.’ 

In another comment, he adds: ‘Kids enjoyed it, so I think it was worth it. The kids definitely learned some new words when I opened the bill though.’ 

The Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures are held at the Trillium Room in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

Disney says ‘advance reservations are highly recommended’ and can be made online or on the Disney app.
