Dad disgusted by Disneyland breakfast bill and threatens to 'mug Mickey Mouse'
A family of five were on a trip to Disneyland and forked out almost £700 on breakfast one day, as the dad said he almost 'spat his coffee' out when he got the bill A dad has been left outraged after footing an £695 breakfast bill at Disneyland. In a bid to make their trip extra special, the family of five booked the 'Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland California. The father made the classic error of not checking the menu before the meal got booked, and was left completely taken aback by the amount he had to pay, including a tip of over £100. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, to air his frustrations, the dad shared a photo of his receipt from the pricey breakfast, with a tip of $150 (£111) for a total of $937.65 (£695). He added the caption: "'Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee." He added in the comment section: "I think if someone went to Disneyland and insisted on doing All The Things they could easily spend $3,000 per day. If I find that goddamn mouse I am going to mug him." The post racked up a whopping 16.9M viewers as people were left just as stunned at the extortionate price. One penned: "This is why my daughter continues to believe Disney is closed for COVID." A second said: "For that much money you can get an after hours private tour of the Vatican." A third candily asked: "How many princesses did you eat?! and another penned: "I can see why you didn't spit out your coffee … it probably cost $45." Others applauded him with: "You're a great dad for doing this…better than I'll ever be." Another asked: "I'm going to assume there was no booze included in this?", and the dad replied: "One Bloody Mary." On the Disneyland website, it describes the 'Princess Breakfast' as an "unforgettable 3-course breakfast" with "enchanting encounters with some favourite Disney Princesses." It also states that it starts at $142 (£105). However, it wasn't all bad, as further down in the comments section, the dad shared a photo of the breakfast, boasting steak, prawns, and asparagus. He said: "Tbh the breakfast was good. Still - nine hundred f**king American dollars?" He also mentioned: "With all the credit card points I'm getting at Disney I would be losing money by NOT going to the Princess Breakfast." Others noted that the cost shouldn't have been a surprise. One user wrote: "Bro they tell you the price when you book, if you're surprised that's on you." To which the father of three replied: "I didn't book it or look at the menu, I'm a being of pure entropy." Another noted: "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? Did they rush you at all and how was Princess interaction?" To which he replied: "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."

'Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee — John 'Rock & Roll' Tolkien (@jrockandrollt) June 16, 2025 "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.
