$900 for breakfast? Cost of Disneyland meal divides internet: 'This is pure theft'
How much money is too much for a family of five to enjoy a meal at Disneyland? For one man, the figure is close to $900. An X user shared a photograph of the bill he received after having breakfast with his kids at the 'Happiest place on Earth'. From his caption, it was clear that he was anything but happy with the amount. ''Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee,' the X user, who goes by John on the platform, wrote. His photograph shows the total amount at $937 ( ₹80,000 approximately), including a tip of $150. Since being shared online one day ago, the photograph of the Disneyland meal bill has racked up a staggering 15 million views, igniting a debate on the rising cost of living and whether Disneyland is actually value for money. Disneyland is a famous theme park that was created by Walt Disney and opened on July 17, 1955, in Anaheim, California. Today, there are also other Disneyland parks in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The Princess Breakfast mentioned in this particular post is a 'three-course breakfast' with delicacies on offer like Princess Jasmine's Banana Wrap, chicken and Mickey waffles, Ariel's Dingle Hopper Vanilla Cake Pops, and more. In the comments section, the X user clarified that five members of his family had the breakfast, bringing their total bill to over $900. His post has sparked a debate on the cost of experiencing Disneyland. 'This is where they really get you. Although they also get you at every step of the way so…' joked one X user. 'Bro they tell you the price when you book, if you're surprised that's on you,' another countered. 'This is why my daughter continues to believe Disney is closed for COVID,' a user added. 'Just say no. Charging prices like this is pure theft. Their contempt for consumers is obvious,' another said. Many, however, pointed out that the Princess Breakfast is one of Disneyland's most expensive offerings, with one X user writing, 'To be fair, you had one of the most expensive meals on property, at Napa Rose, one of the most expensive restaurants on property. There are other character meals you could've done for a third of this cost (and met the princesses in the parks)'

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.
