Hello, John!
It's so nice to meet you! I love having a character breakfast to add a little magic to our day when we aren't heading into the theme parks. Brilliant planning on your part!
Storytellers Cafe is located inside
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa which you can walk to without going through the theme parks. No problem! The most direct route depends a little bit on where you are staying. If you are staying at a hotel on Harbour Boulevard then it is probably best to walk through the
Downtown Disney District. You'll go through the security checkpoint on the east side of the parks, but instead of going into a park, you'll keep walking past the ticket booths and into the Downtown Disney District. Keep watching on your left and you'll find an entrance to the hotel near Sephora. Head on inside and follow the signs to Storytellers Cafe!
If you are staying over in the area around Katella Avenue then I would suggest heading to Disneyland Drive and walking to the main entrance of the hotel from that direction. After you're done you can head straight into the Downtown Disney District to explore! When you're looking at your routes if you feel like it's too far to walk from your hotel you can also use a ride share to be dropped off at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
Mickey is in charge of breakfast at Storytellers Cafe, so you can bet that the buffet includes lots of amazing options...including Mickey waffles, of course! Character meals are a great way to say "Hi" to all our pals without waiting in line, which is totally awesome. Make sure you've got your cameras and autograph books ready!
After breakfast, you might sit for a moment and enjoy the beautiful lobby of the hotel. It's one of the most peaceful places at the resort! I hope you have a fabulous breakfast, John!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
