Hi there, Michelle!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You are going to have such an amazing time staying at
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel on your upcoming vacation. This seaside retreat offers some great amenities, a fantastic pool, and stunning views of Disney California Adventure Park. As you mentioned, it's also home to Disney's PCH Grill, a wonderful Character dining option. You will be able to book this experience as well as any other Table Service dining reservations up to 60 days in advance. You can do so online, via the official
Disneyland app, or by calling (714) 781-3463. Keep in mind that Character dining is available at this location only for Donald Duck's Seaside Breakfast. In the evening the restaurant transforms into PCH Grill's Calitalian Dinner Buffet which offers comforting and hearty Italian cuisine, but without Characters present.
As a Disneyland Resort Hotel Guest, I hope you take advantage of your exclusive Extra Magic Hour benefit. This will allow you to enter either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park one hour prior to official park opening each day. This is a priceless benefit for us as it allows us to experience our favorite attractions with little to no wait as well as see the parks with fewer Guests so that we can really take in the ambiance and details around us. Before we rush to an attraction, I love snapping a quick photo in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle before the park gets too crowded.
I hope this helps, and please feel free to return with any other questions as you plan your exciting vacation at the end of the year!
