Disneyland Guest 'Almost Spit Out His Coffee' Over Nearly $1K Breakfast Bill For Family of 5
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.

15 Comfy Airport Outfits at Amazon That Are Perfect for Summer Travel—and Start at $10
Let's all take a moment to appreciate that we've made it past the era of bulky winter layers on airplanes—at least for the next few months. Dressing for a summer flight is infinitely easier. Think loose, flowy silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and a light sweater you can fold into the corner of your tote when the cabin gets chilly. No coats. No fleece-lined panic sweats mid-flight. Amazon has some of the season's comfiest airplane outfits, from breezy maxi dresses and matching sets to linen pants, oversized button-downs, and more. We scrolled through pages of options to find the best—and here's what summer pieces we're most excited to wear to the airport and beyond. No need to worry about overheating in these palazzo pants—reviewers say the 70-percent cotton blend keeps them breathable, even on long travel days. The wide-leg silhouette tapers above the ankle with a tulip hem for an extra-stylish touch. 'These pants should be a staple in everyone's comfort wardrobe,' one shopper wrote, calling them 'perfect for travel that still allows you to be stylish.' Available in 14 colors and currently up to 20 percent off. The best travel outfit delivers pajama-level comfort, without looking like actual pajamas. This slouchy short-sleeve tee and matching wide-leg pants set nails it. Amazon shoppers are 'obsessed' with the relaxed fit, 'silky-soft' fabric, and 'impeccable' quality. Side slits let the oversized top drape effortlessly over the bottom, while roomy thigh pockets keep essentials like your passport and cards within easy reach. A versatile white button-down is a staple in any capsule travel wardrobe—and this one from Hotouch is especially great for summer. It's made of 100 percent cotton but has the breezy, elevated look of linen, according to reviewers. Once you land, you can dress it up with slacks for dinner or throw it over a swimsuit at the beach. One traveler who wore it through humid Bangkok and mountain hikes in Thailand even called it 'the single best shirt [they've] ever purchased.' A little contrast detailing goes a long way in making this buttery soft set feel elevated. Shoppers rave about how luxe it looks and feels—one even said it's 'like you are putting on St. John or Chanel,' dubbing it a perfect example of 'quiet luxury' with a fabric that mimics wool crepe (though it's actually synthetic). The Tanming short-sleeve sweater set looks far more expensive than it is, especially now that it's on sale for under $40. Jumpsuits can be a polarizing travel pick—but if you're willing to overlook the in-flight bathroom logistics, the payoff is real. The Dokotoo wide-leg jumpsuit is a prime example: all-day comfort, zero outfit planning required. For just $27, it features a smocked bodice that moves with you as you settle into your seat. 'I wore this on a plane so I would look nice when I got to my destination,' one reviewer shared. Mission accomplished—they felt comfortable the entire flight and while navigating the airport. Linen-cotton pants for under $20? Practically unheard of—but Amazon Essentials delivers. These lightweight, relaxed-fit bottoms have earned thousands of glowing reviews for their comfort and versatility, especially thanks to the flight-friendly elastic waistband. 'I love these pants so much I'm bringing them as my only pants to London in August—and wearing them on the long-haul flight,' one shopper wrote. 'I've worn them sitting all day for work, so I know they'll be perfect on the plane.' This short-sleeve knit cardigan is your stylish solution for staying warm on the plane. The ribbed texture, delicate buttons, boxy fit, and baggy half sleeves give it that 'something spendy' feel, as one reviewer put it. Available in four neutral shades, it pairs effortlessly with everything from flowy dresses to wide-leg pants. Just roll it up and tuck it into your personal item—it's the kind of light layer you'll reach for again and again. Cropped wide-leg pants and a boxy tank top make the perfect summer set. The 30-percent linen two-piece is breathable, comfortable, and resists wrinkling—ideal for flights and airport days. Its loose fit allows for easy movement, while the fabric keeps you cool in warmer climates. Available in 25 colors, it's versatile enough to dress up or down on your trip. Right now, it's on sale for $40, making it a great travel wardrobe staple. Here's a cotton dress that resists wrinkles thanks to its poplin fabric—a tight weave that boosts durability and prevents creasing. The Drop's Ilana maxi dress is a timeless staple with a relaxed fit, ruffled hem, and keyhole button closure. Perfect for long travel days, it pairs effortlessly with sneakers, comfy flats, or sandals. Lightweight and breathable, it's great for layering or wearing solo in warmer weather—and it's on sale for $27. Head straight from the airport to your first summer destination in this $36 shorts set. Travelers rave that it keeps them cool and comfortable in hot spots like Arizona, Las Vegas, and Mexico. One called it 'perfect for summer months or vacation mode.' The loose shorts pair perfectly with the oversized three-quarter-sleeve button-down (with handy pockets!). Available in neutrals, hot pink, bright orange, and other vibrant summer shades. Here's a versatile maxi dress perfect for travel—wrinkle-resistant, packable, and cozy enough for naps. New on Amazon since December, it's already winning rave reviews from summer travelers. Made of cotton and just a bit of elastane, it offers just enough stretch to keep you comfy whether you're lounging on the plane or exploring your destination. One Amazon shopper called this their 'number one travel set for flights.' They love the buttery-soft pants and crewneck tank, praising how well they wash and how wrinkle-resistant it is. Another five-star reviewer bought two sets, saying they're perfect for overnight flights and even cruises. With over 100 recommendations for travel, this comfy ensemble is perfect for your summer getaway. A striped tee is a timeless classic that belongs in every wardrobe. For those who prefer a simple shirt-and-jeans look, it pairs perfectly with comfy pants for an airport outfit that feels both relaxed and put-together. At just $8, it's a steal. Released on Amazon in December, it has only 17 ratings so far, but the feedback is impressive. One reviewer said they didn't expect to like it as much as they do, praising the cotton and elastane blend as the perfect summer fabric. Not a fan of pants on a plane? Totally understandable. As long as your outfit offers enough coverage when moving through the terminal, bending down for luggage, and sitting in a tight airplane seat, a skirt can be a great airport choice. Embrace that feeling of freedom with a long, flowy floral maxi skirt—a perfect, effortless match for a casual T-shirt. This new tracksuit is already 33 percent off and includes wide-leg sweats plus a sleeveless mock-neck top. Available in several colors, some with bold sporty side stripes, it's perfect for travel. One reviewer called it a 'great travel outfit, especially if you don't have time to change after the plane—you can head straight to your plans.' Love a great deal?

White Elephant offers Nantucket, Palm Beach travel deal with Slate Aviation
The Palm Beach boutique hotel White Elephant on Sunset Avenue and a locally based shared-charter aviation company are engaged in a collaboration aimed at offering travelers enticing perks. It's part of a new partnership between the hotel's parent, Boston-based White Elephant Resorts — which also owns hotels in Nantucket, Massachusetts — and West Palm Beach-based Slate Aviation. Through October, guests of the 32-room-and-suites White Elephant in Palm Beach and its Nantucket sister hotels can receive $250 off one-way fares on Slate's semi-private charter flights between Palm Beach and Nantucket. They also are entitled to a gratis six-month four-person membership ($395 value) to Slate Aviation, whose aircraft offer private-terminal departures — bypassing TSA security-check lines — and 18 business-class seats in all. Meanwhile, flyers with Slate Aviation, the new marketing name of Tri State Aviation, receive 15% off room rates at White Elephant Palm Beach, 180 Sunset Ave., and its Nantucket sisters. The Nantucket properties include the White Elephant Nantucket, The Wauwinet, Jared Coffin House, and Cottages & Lofts at the Boat Basin. 'Many of our guests already divide their time between the two islands (Palm Beach and Nantucket) and this collaboration makes that journey more effortless than ever,' Ashish Verma, executive vice president of White Elephant Resorts, told the Daily News. 'It's about extending the signature White Elephant experience of service, style and hospitality from one beloved setting to the next.' Slate Aviation officials agree: 'The White Elephant and Slate share a similar clientele interested in superior hospitality, convenience and sophistication,' company co-owner Heather Maguire told the Daily News. 'And with a presence in both Nantucket and Palm Beach, we saw that they were a natural route-launch partner for an all-business class airline offering nonstop service between the two destinations.' Slate's planes fly non-stop to and from the Northeast from Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airports. Slate serves Westchester County Airport in New York and Nantucket Memorial Airport in Massachusetts, among others. This isn't the first partnership Slate has forged with a Palm Beach-connected business. This past spring, Slate partnered with popular Palm Beach restaurant Buccan, 350 S. County Road, led by seven-times James Beard Warad chef-nominee Clay Conley. Buccan signed on in May to provide Slate's custom inflight menu for flyers, a 'fun new challenge,' Conley said at the time. Such partnerships provide a 'special, personalized experience for our guests,' Slate's Maguire said.
