So, we all know Disney can be pricey. But one dad has just shared what it actually costs to take his family of five to breakfast at Disneyland, and the price is absolutely wild.
John Tolkien shared a photo of his receipt after taking his family of five to the Princess Breakfast Adventures at Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel. It was meant to be a magical morning with Disney princesses, fancy food and family memories. But when the bill came, Tolkien was so shocked he said he “almost spit out his coffee.”
So, what exactly did they eat?

This isn’t your typical theme park breakfast. According to the park’s website, it’s a full-on three-course affair. It starts with appetisers like lobster rolls, cornbread and beignets. Then for mains, kids get fun picks like Mickey-shaped waffles and mac and cheese, while grown-ups choose from options like braised short ribs and truffle macaroni.
It all wraps up with a dessert spread of cream puffs, sorbet and more, with appearances from Belle, Tiana and other princesses sprinkled throughout the experience.
Tolkien even shared a photo of his plate, which included shrimp cocktail, devilled eggs, asparagus and a bit of everything else. He rated the food a solid “7 out of 10.”
So, how much did the whole thing cost?
Erm, so the Princess breakfast cost a whopping $937.65. Yes, for breakfast.

The price, which included a $150 tip, covered meals for three adults, two kids and apparently one Bloody Mary. Tolkien shared the receipt on X, where the post has got over 15 million views and sparked a massive conversation.
In replies, Tolkien admitted he hadn’t checked the price beforehand. He didn’t make the booking or look at the menu. “Kids enjoyed it, so I think it was worth it,” he said. “The kids definitely learned some new words when I opened the bill though.”
Each to their own, but I would have been on the floor crying. Literally.
