Disneyland Guest 'Almost Spit Out His Coffee' Over Nearly $1K Breakfast Bill For Family of 5
A family of five spent $938 on Disneyland's Princess Breakfast Adventures, a three-course character dining experience at the California park
The father shared the receipt and his surprise on X, where the post went viral with over 15.5 million views and sparked widespread discussion
The poster admitted he hadn't checked the price before, but said the experience was worth it for his kids
A family of five kicked off their morning at Disneyland with a nearly four-figure price tag.
X user @jrockandrollt, aka John 'Rock & Roll' Tolkien, took to the social media app on Monday, June 16, to share a photo of his receipt from his family's breakfast.
The bill showed that he had spent $937.65, including a $150 tip. In the caption, he wrote, 'Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee."
Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures, which is held at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, is a dining experience at the Anaheim theme park where guests get to enjoy a three-course breakfast and activities with Disney princesses, like storytime with Belle, according to the park's website.
The meal starts with a tiered tower of appetizers like lobster rolls, cornbread and beignets. For the main course, kids can choose between chicken and Mickey Mouse-shaped waffles and macaroni and cheese, while adults have options like braised short ribs, deviled eggs and truffle macaroni and cheese. For the final course, guests can taste cream puffs, sorbet and other desserts.
The price starts at $142 for adults and children ages 3 to 9, per the site, and tip and tax are not included.
The post quickly garnered X users attention and has been viewed over 15.5 million times as of Wednesday, June 18.
The original poster waded through commenters' questions and explained that the bill was for two children and three adults and that one person ordered a Bloody Mary.
He joked in the comments, 'If I find that goddamn mouse I am going to mug him.'
He also wrote that he felt the pricey venture was worth it, despite his shock at the bill: 'Kids enjoyed it, so I think it was worth it. The kids definitely learned some new words when I opened the bill though.'

A picture of his plate shows that he ate shrimp cocktail, macaroni and cheese, asparagus, deviled eggs and beef roast, and he wrote that the food was a 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,' he commented.
While many users praised the poster for being a 'great dad,' others couldn't get behind his shock. 'Bro they tell you the price when you book, if you're surprised that's on you,' one person wrote and the poster replied that he didn't book the meal nor look at the menu.

Russell Wilson Steals the Show on Father's Day
Russell Wilson Steals the Show on Father's Day originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Giants signed quarterback Russell Wilson in March to a one-year, $10.5 million deal. In signing Wilson, the Giants didn't just find a starter. They added a leader for the locker room and a mentor for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who the veteran seems more than happy to take under his wing. Advertisement The New York faithful got their first glimpses of Wilson during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp. As the clock ticks toward Dart's debut, the fans have embraced Wilson, appreciating the upgrade he offers over Daniel Jones and the role he'll play in the rookie's development. Wilson has returned the favor, diving into the city's rich sports culture by cheering on the New York Knicks and New York Yankees (the latter of which he has ties to as a drafted baseball player). Fans got a closer look at Wilson on social media, sending love to his Father's Day Instagram post. 'I'm grateful to walk alongside my kids as they grow into strong, compassionate leaders,' Wilson wrote. 'It's my greatest honor being your father. I'm thankful for my brother always having my back. And Dad, I'm thankful for you showing me how to do it all. I miss you, but I Thank You. Finally, God is the ultimate GOOD Father. Happy Father's Day!!!' Advertisement Wilson's father, Harrison Wilson III, passed away in 2010. A core tenet of Wilson's character is his leadership, as he mentioned in relation to his children. He elaborated on how he is bringing those intangibles to East Rutherford. 'I think the biggest thing is for me is just being my best every day, leading,' he said. 'I always think about just leading everybody, just leading every room, every moment, every time I get to step between the white lines and the opportunity of that… 'So just I think the fellowship of it all is the best part right now. Obviously, our work ethic and what we're doing in the field. But when it comes to just the tight-knit culture that we're continuing to build and continue to grow, and we want to have a championship football team, and in terms of our mentality and our approach and how we go about it. Advertisement 'And it's not just the games, but it's everything that leads up to that. And that's the fun part about the game of football.'

People Who Called Off Their Weddings Are Sharing Why They Had A Change Of Heart, And It's An Emotional Rollercoaster
Reddit user thriceusetissue recently asked, "People who've called off wedding engagements, why didn't it work out?" Here are some shocking, heartbreaking, and wild reasons people dipped before saying "I do." 1."He called me when he was drunk at 3 a.m. and told me that he only asked me to marry him because he didn't think he could do better. He denied it happened the next day despite there being a call." —FuerGrissa0stDrauka 2."He wanted to play video games for 18 hours a day. I had to schedule an hour a day for us to just hang out, and he made it seem like I was an inconvenience. When I said he never wanted to do things I wanted to do, he told me he didn't like the things I did and didn't understand why he had to do them. He also got fired from four jobs that year because he would rather play games. Even his parents started asking why I was with him. I thought I couldn't do better, but I left him, and seven months later, after starting over, I found my husband." —mapleysyrupy 3."He asked me to promise him never to get fat, or he would be forced to look at other women. I ended it immediately. He then said he was joking, but I knew he wasn't. His mom called me crying, asking me to reconsider. No, thank you." —MomMMMNN 4."We decided to open up our relationship (terrible idea, I know, but we were convinced), then the trust was broken, and it was never the same. We called it off shortly after. In hindsight, that relationship had some other big problems, but we were in love, and it's hard to see red flags with rose colored glasses on. Life goes on, and I'm in a much happier relationship now. I hope the same for her." —Randomsong000000001 5."He was an amazing man and would've been an amazing husband. At that point in my life, I was a closeted lesbian, and only an evil person would've gone forward with the wedding." —du-du-duck 6."My friend ended her engagement with her fiancé because it came out that he was ripping everyone off. He was an investment banker, a charismatic guy, who had convinced everyone he knew (family, friends, her family and friends, businesses, anyone he could really) to invest with him, lying about the returns, a robbing-Peter-to-pay-Paul situation. It all came to light along with the fact that he was physically abusing her to keep her quiet. He ended up in prison." —tweedledumb4u 7."A year after we met, he moved to another country for his dream job (it would only be a two or three-year contract). I was still in grad school, so I couldn't move, so we did long distance for two and a half years. We spent all our extra money on plane tickets. We got engaged while still long-distance. I then said I wanted to move to another country for my dream job. By this point, he decided he wanted to take a job back in our original country. Instead of supporting me, he tried to aggressively talk me out of taking the job, whining, being manipulative, and telling me to take something lower level in our home country." "In the end, to mentally deal with packing up and moving without the extra stress, I basically cut contact with him for two months, moved, and started my job. Then we talked and broke up on the phone. I mailed him the ring and never looked back." —BloopBloopBloopin 8."I felt like I was his mom. I had to keep asking him to help out around the house, make sure he wasn't sleeping through his alarm for work, set up a 'chore chart' so I wasn't the only one keeping up with household tasks, apologe to my friends and family for him skipping out on events because he was sleeping through them, ask him not to stay up until 3 a.m. playing video games because we had something important going on the following morning, etc." —butterednoodles24 9."He proposed right after boot camp at 19. I said yes, but I wanted to wait until I finished college. At 20, he started pestering me to get married and would get upset when I did homework instead of hanging out with him. By the end of junior year, I was failing my classes, and I asked to take a break. We had been dating since I was 16, and I really just wanted some time to figure out who I was. He cried to all our friends, who convinced me I was a fool for ending it, so I took him back. Two weeks after my 21st birthday, I found out he had been sleeping with my brother's girlfriend for months. I'm 29 now. I saw him about two years ago at a work event where he was the valet. I parked my own car." —queen-of-unicorns 10."When he realized my dad wasn't paying for the whole thing, he completely lost interest in planning anything. I kind of fished for his response by softly asking, 'Do you want to call it off to avoid the financial hardship?' His whole face actually beamed at that, lmao. I called it off and fully left him like a month later." —Majestic-Bake1868 11."I ended my very short-lived engagement because of Reddit. I kid you not. I posted on an engagement ring sub about hating my ring, and then people started asking questions about my relationship. After others figured out that he was much older, it made me understand I was being manipulated. It was mind-blowing. I received so many messages from concerned women of that sub that I could barely keep up. In the beginning, I thought everyone was exaggerating, but then I started reading stories and links they sent me and finding so much in common. I told him I needed some time to think. He did a 180-degree change-up, making me realize what a freak he was. I haven't looked back, honestly. I am applying for medical school and am so happy I didn't stay with him." —Thick-Journalist-901 12."He told me I could either give him a kid or he was taking the ring back. So I gave him the ring back." —Cuntzilla_ 13."He refused to set a date. Then he refused to make me coffee (same pot, it was big enough for both of us, he just wouldn't make enough for both of us). Then he refused to turn off the giant overhead light in the bedroom when he left for work earlier than I, so I had to get up to turn it off and couldn't sleep for a few more minutes. He just didn't like me much after the excitement wore off, and I wanted more than that. He did, however, stalk and harass me for weeks after I broke it off, threatening my job and my housing, and repeatedly telling me he'd kill himself or sexually assault me. Which just seems like a lot more effort than making slightly more coffee and turning off a light and not screaming at me." —bloop-bloop-bloop- 14."His mom basically ran our relationship. I'd be marrying a family that didn't even like me, and she didn't stand up for me once. Nah." —pink_cherryy 15."He was emotionally abusive and very dependent. I found out after the fact he cheated on me and had a child with her (he's a doctor, she was the nurse!)." —SharonAlyse 16."A relative of mine called off her wedding the day before the event, after all the guests had flown in, when she somehow learned that her fiancé was not, in fact, divorced from his first wife like he'd claimed." —koreth 17."I really started watching how she treated her parents while she was stressed. I was not impressed. I didn't want that in a permanent partner." —das_sparker 18."She lied about doing her taxes for like five years. She never did them. I only found out when she freaked out about me opening a letter for her from the IRS. I can't deal with lying like that. I literally offered to help/do them for years prior to that. Who just doesn't file taxes?" —Techfuture2 19."He was controlling and immature. He wanted to buy video games and CDs rather than paying rent. He emotionally manipulated me into making irresponsible financial decisions. The straw that broke the camel's back was when my mom left a stern message on the answering machine saying the bank called her because I was $700 overdrawn. When he told me I had a message, he said, 'Your mom called. Haha, you're in trouble!'" —crazyidahopuglady 20."I got engaged and broke up with someone during the same conversation. He proposed and then explained that he proposed because he cheated on me, and the immense guilt made him realize how much he loved me and how much he wanted to spend his life with me." —MehX73 21."He started getting weirdly jealous. He'd get upset if I left the house when he said he might call, even if those times were during my classes or work. Or, he'd say he was coming over and not show for hours. And again, he would be upset if I were not sitting and waiting for him. Clearly absurd shit! When I dumped his ass, he told me I couldn't make it without him. I told him my life was about to get EASIER without having a giant baby!" —jjme08 22."I slept with a member of my bridal party two months before the wedding. It kind of felt like poor form to go through with it after that. I spent way too long holding on after that and caused a lot more hurt from not knowing what the hell I wanted." —Pettyjack 23."He was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Life of the party, nicest guy in public. At home, controlling, gaslighting, and verbally and emotionally abusive. He tried to destroy my career and friendships so that I would be reliant on him. But I was the 'crazy' one! I was apparently immature, poor, and going to cheat on him, so he cheated first. And he abused alcohol and drugs, but no, he blamed that on me. He is on wife number five." —blueyedwineaux 24."I called mine off two weeks before because he was so rigid about the prenup, and instead of trying to work through it, he said take it or leave it. So I left it. I realized at that moment this guy didn't want a partner; he wanted someone who thought he could control and who was convenient. I personally did not matter to him. His mom was also extremely manipulative and awful. I couldn't run faster from that family." —killer-queen 25."I felt pressure from my mother to marry. I was in my early 30s at the time. Took 12 months to organize this wedding, and then the invitations went out. At this point, anxiety set in, and I had weeks of sleepless nights. I didn't want to marry. He was a great man, and who was I to take away his opportunity at real love so that I could appease my mother? So I cancelled it all in one fell swoop! Boy, was I hated by all. I lived happily ever after!" —Left_Signal_1370 26."He went to law school and became a mean, overly competitive person. We began frequently arguing, and couples counseling didn't help. I asked to postpone the wedding, and he gave me an ultimatum: keep our date or break it off. I chose the latter, thank GOD." —Alternative-Sir-2226 27."I was way too young to be engaged in the first place. But then I started noticing how he treated his sweet mom (lots of pouting, yelling, melodrama), and I realized that was my future. I've never regretted walking away." —Appropriate-Cod9031 28."My ex and I were about six months from getting married. DJ, photographer, venue, save the dates. There came a certain point where she wasn't enthusiastic about the planning, and I knew something was up, but I was still stunned when she said she wanted to call it off. She could tell I wasn't ready to start a family like she was and that I was going along for the ride. It hurt like hell at first, and I went off the deep end for a while, but eventually I felt relief because she was right. I wasn't ready for kids. We briefly got back together and ended it again more amicably the second time, and two weeks after splitting for good, I met the woman I would marry. We're happy and child-free; my ex is a mom of two kids. She's divorced but seems to be doing well. I'm grateful to her now, in retrospect." —MisterAlaska "My buddy and his ex-fiancée ended an engagement about four years ago, only six months before their wedding. Basically, both of them, on their own, felt like it had run its course, and they weren't supposed to be together. It's one of the most mature break-ups I've ever seen. Within two months, both of them had new partners. Flash forward three years. My buddy and his ex both got engaged to those partners within weeks of each other. Flash forward to last Saturday, and both of them got married — on the same day — to the people they had met within months of ending an engagement four years prior. Meanwhile...I've been single this whole damn time!" —masu94 Have you ever broken off an engagement? What happened? Tell us in the comments or share anonymously using this form.

Hawks' Larry Nance Jr. reveals Top 5 NBA moments on Father's Day
The post Hawks' Larry Nance Jr. reveals Top 5 NBA moments on Father's Day appeared first on ClutchPoints. Sharing touching moments is something everyone can appreciate; hearing a handful from a hoops family is a blessing. Well, highly valued Atlanta Hawks veteran Larry Nance Jr. marked Father's Day 2025 with a poignant tribute to his NBA journey, sharing his top five career moments with ClutchPoints on social media. Each memory (except one) reflects his deep ties to family and the enduring influence of his father, Larry Nance Sr., the 1984 Slam Dunk Contest champion and Cleveland Cavaliers legend. Advertisement Blending family, legacy, and career highlights in a touching tribute, the 32-year-old Hawks veteran insisted these were in no particular order. However, Larry Nance Jr. mentioned Kobe Bryant's 60-point farewell game first. David Richard-USA TODAY Sports Nance Jr. was a rookie with the Los Angeles Lakers during Kobe Bryant's final NBA game on April 13, 2016, when the Lakers legend dropped 60 points against the Utah Jazz. 'Being on the court for that and being able to share moments with him before and after that game,' Nance Jr. told ClutchPoints. 'Even during (the game), those are just things I'll never forget.' In 2018, Nance Jr. returned to Cleveland via trade and played a key role in their NBA Finals run alongside LeBron James. Though the Cavaliers were swept by Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors, Nance Jr. cherished the experience with his childhood team nonetheless. He has since had stints with the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans before landing with the Hawks. Advertisement A 'dunk contest with dad' was next on the list. Now, that could be a long-running family feud or something more public. Young Larry was not alive for Larry Sr.'s sensational 1984 performance. This more than likely was a nod to the 2018 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where Nance Jr. paid homage to his father by wearing a retro Phoenix Suns No. 22 jersey and performing the Nance family's signature cradle dunk. Though the homegrown dunker did not win, the father-son connection created a memorable spectacle. The same goes for when the NBA and Cavaliers cleared Nance Jr. to wear Larry Sr.'s number 22 in an actual game. After being traded to Cleveland, Nance Jr. switched to No. 22, honoring his father's retired number. His debut in that jersey marked a personal milestone, symbolizing family legacy and adding a layer of motivation. Not that Nance Jr. needed much motivation in a 10-year career that has led to the Hawks. Some nights were a bit more amped up than others, though. The first brother (Larry) versus brother (Pete Nance) NBA ballgame was last on the list. Related: Hawks rumors: What Atlanta seeks in draft amid trade buzz, expected free agent loss
