Hello there Wayne! Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your great question!
Storytellers Cafe at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will forever hold a special place in my heart, it is the first restaurant that we dined at during my son's first trip to the Disneyland Resort! We have always had a delicious meal and fun with some of our favorite Disney pals when we have dined here. My kids can never get enough Mickey waffles and bacon, and I'm heading straight for the Chili Verde Chilaquiles!
It will definitely be open the week after Christmas, and you can begin making your
dining reservations now! Mickey's Tales of Adventure character dining experience is available during breakfast and brunch, but I did want to note that Disney characters do not appear during dinner. There is still a spectacular dinner buffet available with the same cozy ambiance, but the character dining experience will only be available during breakfast and brunch reservations.
We love to do a
character dining experience on a non-park day to still get a taste of the Disney magic, or it could be a great way to start your day if you want to take your time and enjoy a great meal before heading into the parks. I highly recommend stopping by the Grand Californian Great Hall Cart to check-out all of the delicious holiday goodies available! The Mickey-shaped Gingerbread Cookie is a classic, and it never disappoints.
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip, Wayne! Don't hesitate to
come back to planDisney if we can help with any other questions.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
