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.

Deontay Wilder Doubles Down On Controversial Goal Ahead Of Ring Return
Deontay Wilder poses for a portrait ahead of his Heavyweight fight against Zhilei Zhang (Photo by ... More) Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is returning to the ring on June 27 when he takes on Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita, Kansas. I had an opportunity to speak with Wilder this week, and while we may not have agreed on a key topic of discussion, it was one of my favorite interviews. I've always loved watching and following Wilder's career. There's always been an element of imperfect brilliance that I find compelling. I found our conversation to have the same elements. Wilder made a comment about his training during the interview as he prepares to stop a two-fight losing streak against Herndon. He said "he doesn't practice to play, he trains to kill." That immediately reminded me of the time Wilder said 'I want a body on my record,' ahead of his fight with Bermane Stiverne in 2017. In case you missed it, it was an interview with Radio Raheem of Seconds Out. RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - DECEMBER 22: Deontay Wilder reacts after weighing in ahead of the Heavyweight ... More fight between Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker during the Day of Reckoning: Weigh-In on December 22, 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by) Because Wilder made another statement about killing in the ring, I felt compelled to ask him if he still felt that way. Full disclosure, I hate it when fighters say they want to kill an opponent or even that they are willing to die in the ring or cage. No one really wants that; it's short-sighted, ridiculous bravado that is not needed to sell a fight. Fans of the sport don't want to see that happen. We know that it has and is a possibility, but no one rejoices when that danger becomes a reality. That sets the stage for the question and answer Wilder offered me. 'I've been asked this question multiple times, man,' Wilder said. 'And like I told them, I'll tell you the same thing—I don't take back what I said. People on the outside looking in call this a sport, but I want to ask: why do you call it a sport?' I gave him my definition of a sport, basically two people or teams engaging in an athletic competition to attain victory in accordance to the rules set in that sport. I call it a sport because the definition of a sport is two people or two teams using their bodies in an athletic competition to win. Oh, oh, you said team, just, and that ain't- I said people or team, because like tennis, tennis is a one-on-one sport, it's a sport. You know, it's because it's two people playing against each other unless it's doubles. 'So what do you call it when two men are at war with each other?' Wilder asked. 'In the streets, you can have two guns—may the best man win. May your accuracy beat mine. But do people consider gun violence a sport?' I disagreed with the two things being related. 'But you have to have skills, you have to have skills. You have to have skills to point that gun. You have to have skills to scope that sight. You have to have skills to be accurate. You know, a lot of people are amateur when it comes to it, but you have to have, if you have the dominant skills, then you become a veteran, you know? And with this, this is totally a business. People on the outside looking in don't understand the business of boxing. You know, for me to say this is a sport, it's like a masking agent, you know what I mean, to what really occurs in here. Over 13 fighters dies a year, and it's probably more than that. What other sport that you want to call, you see people losing their lives in, as the business of boxing?' I didn't disagree with overall concept he presented, but I didn't see how it related to him saying, 'I want a body on my record.' There's a difference between saying you know a fatality is a possibility and saying that you want that on your record. 'At the end of the day, if I get hit in the head a certain way, I could die,' Wilder continued. 'So my words aren't far-fetched. I'm trying to bring attention to something, because I don't like how people always want to be politically correct. If I'm risking my life, I feel like I can say what I need to say.' Wilder and I weren't going to agree on this subject, and I said it in the conversation, and I questioned if that was truly how Wilder felt as I recalled watching the way he reacted after he knocked out Artur Szpilka in 2016. Wilder was legitimately concerned and he admitted that in the interview. Watch the finish here. 'You gotta have that warrior mentality,' Wilder said. 'It can sound distasteful. It can sound a certain way. But if you're not a gladiator, if you're not a warrior in there, you don't understand what this really is. You won't fully get what I'm saying,' Wilder said. 'And I'm not apologetic about it. I'm right there in it. Because if something happens to me and I die in that ring—God forbid—then we're talking about a whole different situation. Everything I've said would be seen in a different light, because it actually happened.' I heard him, and while I still didn't agree, I understood Wilder more in this conversation than I'd ever had watching his career for the past 13 years. I respected Wilder taking time to answer a question he'd be asked before, and one challenging a controversial point of view. While he may seem simplistic to some–as a man and fighter–he's a bit deeper than most would give him credit and I came away from the conversation more fond of him that before. It also made his upcoming fight with Herndon–a bout expected to be particularly one-sided–a bit more interesting. 'This is the return of Deontay Wilder—mentally, physically, and emotionally,' he said. 'I'm taking back my throne. And at the end of the day, man, America needs me. They're putting my logo out every night, waving it. We need our hero back. And I'm gonna answer the call, baby." Boxing is undoubtedly more interesting when there is a formidable American heavyweight on the scene. Wilder is the last one we've seen. 'We don't understand each other,' Wilder said. "Because in reality, bro, we need each other. For sure. The human race needs each other.' We do need you, brother, but not just in the ring. We need you, period.

JetBlue is pulling out of the Miami airport, but will remain at FLL. See details
JetBlue Airways will halt service at Miami International Airport, the airline said on Saturday. The Long Island City-based carrier cited poor financial performance. JetBlue has a small footprint at MIA, with one or two daily flights between MIA and Boston. But 'to free aircraft for new routes, we've recently made the decision to end a small number of unprofitable flights including between Boston and Miami,' Derek Dombrowski, director of corporate communications, said in an email statement sent to the Miami Herald. The changes are effective Sept. 3, he said. Travelers booked on cancelled flights 'will have the option to fly via Fort Lauderdale or receive a full refund to their original form of payment,' Dombrowski said. The move was a business decision. 'We continually evaluate how our network is performing and make changes as needed,' Dombrowski said. JetBlue informed MIA of the changes on Friday, Greg Chin, communications director for Miami-Dade Aviation Department, said in a phone call with the Miami Herald on Saturday. He didn't elaborate on other details. JetBlue will continue to fly to Boston from nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as well as West Palm Beach, Dombrowski said. The airline has a strong presence at FLL. In 2024, JetBlue served about 6.8 million passengers at FLL, down 2.1% from 2023 but still the second largest carrier at that airport, only behind Spirit. It carried 19% of all travelers to and from the Broward County airport. This year, JetBlue remains FLL's second largest carrier. Through April 30, the airline had 2.2 million passengers, even though that's down 6% from the same period in 2024. In 2021, to make a larger bet on South Florida as the COVID-19 pandemic was still in full force, JetBlue expanded at MIA, adding as many as 14 daily flights, including as many as four times a day to Boston. The airline also added direct flights between MIA and New York-JFK, Newark, Los Angeles and Hartford. Since then, JetBlue has scaled back service in Miami due to falling demand. It was also slowed down by the 2024 ruling of a federal judge in Massachusetts that blocked an attempted merger with Broward-based Spirit, citing anti-competitive laws. On Saturday, JetBlue had a total of two arrivals at MIA, each one from Boston, according to the airport's flight tracker. And it had one departure, also to Boston.

Wordle hints today for #1,464: Clues and answer for Sunday, June 22
Hey, there! We hope you're having a wonderful official start to summer (or winter, if you're south of the equator). One thing that we certainly hope is heating up is your Wordle streak. To help keep that on fire, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Sunday's puzzle (#1,464). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Saturday, June 21 — GLADE Friday, June 20 — TAUPE Thursday, June 19 — CURIO Wednesday, June 18 — MUNCH Tuesday, June 17 — PRANK Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: A constant, monotonous noise. Also, to drum with one's fingers. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is T. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... THRUM Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.
