The Disneyland Princess Breakfast totalled almost $1000 for three children and two adults - just over 20 per cent of the pre-tip cost.
John's post left thousands in disbelief with many jumping online to share their shock.
'Please tell me you have 35 kids,' one person commented.
Another wrote, 'That's ridiculous. So torn about going to Disney — could literally go to Italy for a month for the same amount.'

'SOULLESS' DISNEY BOT New Disney attraction slammed by Walt Disney's granddaughter
The Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures costs $142 per person and is held at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.
Guests can enjoy a three-course meal while interacting with Disney Princesses and according to the Disneyland website, the experience also features tiered appetizer towers.
Food options include lobster rolls, beignets, and cornbread.
Children can enjoy mains like waffles and macaroni and cheese, while adults can choose from scrambled eggs, braised short ribs, and deviled eggs.
Despite the hefty price tag, John admitted the overall experience was enjoyable, saying: "Service was attentive and enthusiastic."

"Princesses were all trained pro-actresses and spent a lot of time with the kids. I enjoyed it," he added.
The Disneyland saga comes as the firm's granddaughter has slammed the entertainment giant for turning its legendary late founder into a 'robotic grandpa'.
Disney is unveiling an animatronic Walt Disney to celebrate Disneyland California's 70th anniversary this July despite repeated pleas from his granddaughter Joanna Miller.
Joanna Miller told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that her beloved grandfather, who died in 1966, would have hated being turned into a talking mechanical replica.
'I think I started crying,' she said, recalling the moment she first saw the figure. 'It didn't look like him to me.'
Miller said she voiced her concerns early on, sending a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger when the idea was first proposed.
She said she later met with Iger and the team responsible for creating the attraction, telling him: 'I strongly feel the last two minutes with the robot will do much more harm than good to Grandpa's legacy.
"They will remember the robot - and not the man.'
Despite Iger being 'very kind" and despite his promises to protect her grandfather's legacy, she said her request that they scrap the animatronic was ultimately ignored.
Miller added it 'pains' her to call out the very company he created.
The icon's granddaughter was speaking solely on behalf of her grandfather and mother, according to The LA Times.

Hotel slammed for using endangered red pandas to wake up guests by letting cuddly critters crawl into their beds
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HOTEL in China uses endangered red pandas to wake up its guests, allowing the cuddly animals to crawl into their beds. However, the Lehe Ledu Liangjiang Holiday Hotel, situated in the remote countryside near the southwestern city of Chongqing, has been rapped by the local forestry agency due to animal welfare concerns. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Guests seem to adore having the loveable animals wake them up in the morning Credit: Douyin 5 The Lehe Ledu Liangjiang Holiday Hotel has attracted criticism from the Chinese authorities, who have raised concerns about the welfare of the red pandas 5 The hotel's use of the animals has sparked a debate on social media about the ethical use of the red pandas Credit: Douyin The hotel draws in the guests by advertising 'red panda-themed holidays' where the loveable animals are allowed into rooms as a way of waking people up. While the publicity has brought in the guests it has also attracted criticism. Clips on social media show the endangered animals sitting on beds and interacting with the guests, who appear to be delighted to have them in their rooms. The hotel has drawn the attention of local media with a Chinese magazine featuring the unusual hotel which triggered a discussion on social media about the ethical use of the animals. In turn, the publicity drew the attention of the local forestry bureau who sent a team of inspectors round to investigate. A statement issued by the bureau said it had ordered the immediate halt to all 'close contact' activities with the red pandas and added it would report back on any further findings. Brit YouTube stars Ben and Reanne Dridger, from Portsmouth, who update their fans with vlogs of their travels through China, loved their encounter with the red pandas when they visited the hotel in April. Speaking to the camera, Ben said: 'China is the only place in the world where you can have a panda delivered to your room to sit on your bed with you,' before the camera panned to Reanne who was seen hand feeding pieces of apple to the friendly animal. Reanne then remarked: 'That's so cool,' as the red panda, one of four kept by the hotel, crawled across the bed and sniffed the camera. Footage has also been posted by Chinese guests on the country's popular social media site Douyin. Moment zookeeper is pinned down by pandas who chase her down inside enclosure Hotel staff have said how long the creatures stay in a guest's room 'depended on the red panda's mood that day,' according to a report by China Newsweek. The Global Times, a communist party newspaper, though has put out a severe warning that the practice could be in breach of animal rights. The hotel has responded to concerns over the treatment of the red pandas possibly being unhygienic or dangerous to children by saying the animals were all vaccinated and children had to be accompanied by an adult. Red pandas are currently listed as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and estimates say there are less than 10,000 living in the wild. Despite their name they are not closely related to the larger black and white giant pandas which live in the same region of China. Red pandas are part of the extended raccoon family. Before a ban was introduced in 2018, close contact with giant pandas, including photographs with cubs, was common practice. The Liangjiang Hotel appears to have swerved prosecution due to the fact red pandas are not technically in the giant panda family. 5 The hotel has hit back at criticism saying the animals are vaccinated and all children must be supervised by an adult Credit: Douyin

Still Game icon appears in incredible new mural in Glasgow city centre
They've been painted on a wall next to Queen Street. FAMILIAR FACE Still Game icon appears in incredible new mural in Glasgow city centre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MURAL dedicated to an iconic Still Game character has appeared in Glasgow city centre. The sitcom favourite kept fans entertained during the show's run from 2002 until 2019. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Fans were impressed with the artwork. 3 The mural was sadly vandalised soon after being painted. 3 Winston is one of the most popular still Game characters. Credit: BBC And now Winston, played by funnyman Paul Riley, 55, has been immortalised in a new artwork. Now Still Game fans can catch a glimpse of their favourite grumpy man all over again - as he's been painted on a wall next to Queen Street. Local artist Tef captured the telly pensioner's signature grimace in a piece that has been praised by punters and co-stars alike. He shared a video of his work on social media with the caption "Stevieee" - a nod to Winston's comical rivalry with Stevie the bookie, played by Matt Costello. Gavin Mitchell, 60, who plays Bobby the Barman, was quick to praise the mural. He posted a series of emojis to signify the famous "two prints p***k" catchphrase that's synonymous with the series. One fan said: "Love this!! We need an Isa one next." Another supporter wrote: "This is class - we need the full set." A dedicated viewer added: "Looks like the face he's making when he's on the back of the bus in the Dial-a-Bus episode." And an impressed follower quipped: "My dog is named after Winston. "I need to find this so I can take a picture of it with my dog." Still Game star Paul Riley's showreel ahead of stand-up tour Sadly vandals defaced the mural shortly after it was completed. Terf hit headlines last month when he painted another mural of a comedy character. He paid tribute to comic Brian 'Limmy' Limond by spraying his sketch show character Dee-Dee onto the side of a building next to Yoker Ferry. It's a nod to a popular episode of the programme where he goes on a mysterious adventure to the Glasgow district.
