In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Disneyland Guest, identified as John “Rock & Roll” Tolkien, wrote. “‘Princess Breakfast’ at Disneyland with my kids. Almost spit out my coffee.”
The post featured a picture of the bill. It shows the total for the breakfast was $937.65, and the guest added a $150 tip. The total amount was $1087.65. He also stated there were only five people who ate the character dining breakfast. However, the location of the breakfast wasn’t shown on the bill.
The guest then wrote, “I think if someone went to Disneyland and insisted on doing All The Things, they could easily spend $3,000 per day.”
He also declared, “If I find that godd— mouse I am going to mug him.”
The Disneyland guest later returned to the social media platform to speak out about the criticism he received for venting about the bill.
“A lot of speculation from [others] about my personal finances, decisionmaking, and fitness as a parent,” he wrote. “I make pretty good money as a manager at Chipotle (just got bumped up to $23/hr).”
He also claimed that he opened a new credit card to afford this trip. “I’m doing great!” he added.
