People left outraged after dad shares Disneyland breakfast receipt
A father has shocked people with a photo of his receipt from a 'Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland California.
Taking to X, John '@jrockandrollt' wrote: 'Princess Breakfast at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee.
'If I find that goddamn mouse I am going to mug him.'
In the photo of his receipt shared alongside his post, the father revealed he spent $937.65/£695 on the lavish breakfast, including a tip of $150/£111.
He explained there were five people in total at the brunch - two children and three adults - meaning the price came to $187/£139 per person.
The father also shared a photo of the breakfast in the comments, revealing his meal included beef steak, a devilled egg, asparagus and prawns.
And when it came to drinks, the group had just one alcoholic beverage, a Bloody Mary, with their meal.
Many commenters were shocked by the price of the breakfast with one person joking: 'How many princesses did you eat?'
Another person says: 'There isn't a meal on this Earth worth that much.'
On its website, Disney describes its Princess Breakfast as a 'unforgettable 3-course breakfast' accompanied by 'enchanting encounters with some favourite Disney Princesses'.
Appetisers could include mini lobster rolls, beignets and banana wraps, and a child main's course consists of chicken and Mickey waffles, while adults could opt for devilled eggs, turkey sausage and truffle mac and cheese.
The website also states that the price of the breakfast starts at $142/£105 a person.
And for this reason, many people on X felt that John should have been aware that he was booking a luxury experience.
One person writes: 'Bro they tell you the price when you book. If you're surprised that's on you.'
And 'Ray Q' says: 'Why? You should know roughly how much it would cost before you had it.'
'Parenting in the USA' says: '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?'
Despite his shock at the price, John admits that he 'enjoyed' the Princess Brunch experience, saying: '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.'
In another comment, he adds: 'Kids enjoyed it, so I think it was worth it. The kids definitely learned some new words when I opened the bill though.'
The Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures are held at the Trillium Room in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
Disney says 'advance reservations are highly recommended' and can be made online or on the Disney app.

Vacations in turmoil as major airline slashes flights and grounds planes amid recession fears
Vacations have been thrown into turmoil after JetBlue announced plans to slash summer flights. The budget airline is launching new cost-saving measures after weak travel demand is threatening its bottom line. JetBlue admitted that its chances of breaking even this year are 'unlikely', in a memo seen by Reuters. As a result the carrier is planning to wind down less popular routes and cutting its leadership team, CEO Joanna Geraghty told employees in the note. 'We're hopeful demand and bookings will rebound, but even a recovery won't fully offset the ground we've lost this year and our path back to profitability will take longer than we'd hoped,' Geraghty said. US airlines have taken a hit after President Trump's aggressive trade policies and border crackdowns have seen a significant pullback in travel to the US. JetBlue is not alone in scaling back capacity ahead of the summer travel season, with United also cutting four in every 100 of its domestic flights. 'While most airlines are feeling the impact, it's especially frustrating for us, as we had hoped to reach break-even operating margin this year, which now seems unlikely,' Geraghty explained. JetBlue is under additional financial strain as it us undergoing inspections of some of its engines, which has grounded a number of its aircraft. In other efforts to cut costs the airline is planning to park six of its Airbus jets instead of retrofitting them as initially planned. It comes after JetBlue previously pulled its full year forecast in April to readjust to the new demand environment. The company also previously announced its plans to make a $3 billion saving by deferring buying 44 new Airbus jets. JetBlue's shares are down more than 44 percent so far this year. Earlier this year United announced it would be axing flights due to a dip in demand for US travel. 'The softer economic situation is creating softer demand for travel,' CEO Scott Kirby told investors on the airline's first quarter earnings call in April. United said it also saw flights coming out of Canada see a 9 percent dip, with the rest of international demand coming in to the US down 6 percent. Canadians have been boycotting US travel after Trump threatened to make America's northern neighbor the '51st state.' As a result air travel dropped 13.5 percent in March compared to the same time last year. Flair Airlines was forced to abandoned its routes from Vancouver and Calgary to Phoenix, Arizona as a result of such low demand. Tourist hotspots that rely heavily on Canadian visitors, such as Buffalo, New York and Old Orchard Beach in Maine have seen dramatic drop-offs in visits.

U.S. Open champ J.J. Spaun carries momentum to Connecticut
June 18 - J.J. Spaun's news conference Wednesday ahead of the Travelers Championship might have been the longest he has sat still since winning the U.S. Open on Sunday. "It's been pretty hectic but also very fun," said Spaun, whose dramatic birdie-birdie finish at Oakmont Country Club gave him a two-stroke win over Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and his first major championship. "It's been nice to be given the opportunity to express my feelings, my emotions. A lot of people want to hear from me. I was really grateful to have the opportunity to tell everyone about it," he said. "So I enjoyed it. It was a fun time." Spaun celebrated with a stopover Monday night in New York City, where he had dinner with his family, but said he didn't get to catch up on his sleep until Tuesday night. He received congratulations from several celebrities, including actor and comedian George Lopez and Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts, and from golfing greats Curtis Strange and Hale Irwin. Spaun, 34, said he was looking forward to carrying his momentum into the PGA Tour season's final signature event, which starts on Thursday in Cromwell, Conn. "Super excited," he said. "I didn't get to play here last year. I love the area. I love the course. Such a great course that they have here at TPC River Highlands. Looks like we're going to have some pretty good weather too, so that's nice. Just excited to get the week going." Spaun, who missed the cut the last two times he was at the Travelers in 2022 and 2023, said he's still getting used to the idea of being a major champion. "I still haven't really been able to enjoy it and not have any responsibilities," he said. "It would be nice to just sit on my couch at home and have the trophy sitting right next to me and watch some 'SportsCenter' or something, but that's kind of how I like to enjoy things, just kind of vegging out, especially after long weeks on the road and big tournaments." Spaun said he wants to savor his breakthrough win without becoming complacent. "I definitely need to keep the hunger there. I think I will have the hunger just because I want to continue to prove myself, but not prove myself to anybody other than myself, I feel like, and that's kind of been my biggest barrier throughout my entire career is just trying not to be so hard on myself and not ruining any sort of confidence that I've built from all these experiences on my journey as a golfer," he said. "As long as I keep that up, I think I'll continue to play well, and obviously winning the U.S. Open is going to be a huge boost to that sort of inner ego, I guess you could say, to keep that self-belief alive and burning." --Field Level Media

Rory McIlroy hopes Travelers is 'perfect sort of chaser' to U.S. Open
June 18 - Rory McIlroy will look to atone after a less-than-ideal weekend at the U.S. Open when he tees off Thursday at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn. Sure, McIlroy closed strong with six birdies in Sunday's final round to finish in a tie for 19th place at the U.S. Open. While that was enough to book an automatic spot on Europe's Ryder Cup team for this year's competition at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., it didn't leave a good taste in his mouth. After all, the golfer ranked No. 2 in the world had loftier expectations as he attempted to ride the momentum of wins this year at The Players Championship, Pebble Beach and The Masters. With that said, McIlroy's frustrations were evident -- he smashed a tee marker to pieces, after all. The 36-year-old also refused to speak to the media during the first two days of competition before quipping on Saturday that "it's more a frustration with you guys," while later adding, "I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do." McIlroy took a different tone on Wednesday. "I think the weeks after major championships in these events sometimes when you're in contention and you're trying to win them, it can feel quite difficult to go play the next week," he said. "After a week like I had at Oakmont last week, where you're not quite in the mix but you might feel you find something in your game, you're excited to come back and play again. "Yeah, looking forward to the week. This is the perfect sort of chaser for what Oakmont was last week, and nice to get out on a golf course where you feel you can make quite a few birdies." The TPC River Highlands is a friendly course filled with opportunities for birdies and low scores, much to the pleasure of McIlroy. "I think it is welcome, especially after -- look, the guys that played Memorial, that was a grind," he said. "Look, there's a lot of guys in the field this week where this is their fourth tournament in a row, so yeah, they've been put through the wringer the last few weeks, and this is a welcome setup where they feel like they can relax a little bit and not have to grind so much for your score." The Travelers Championship, the final signature event of the season, is McIlroy's last PGA Tour event before he returns to Europe ahead of a big July. McIlroy will be in the spotlight all week in his native Northern Ireland when the Open Championship is played at Royal Portrush. --Field Level Media
