Hello Leslie,
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I hope you are having a magical day.
Enjoying a
Character Dining Experience is one of our must-dos. The Disney Characters stop by your table to sign autographs and make special memories with your family!
You have a few restaurant choices that are located outside of the parks. You can dine at Storytellers Cafe located at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, you might see Disney Characters like Chip n’ Dale, Koda, and other hard-to-find friends like Meeko. Or you can dine at Goofy’s Kitchen which is located in the Disneyland Hotel. You will be greeted the host himself, Goofy. Another option is Disney’s PCH Grill located at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel.
For “Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park” at Plaza Inn inside Disneyland Park, you will need a valid theme park admission ticket. This one is fun to book a breakfast before the park opens if there is a reservation available. You will get to Main Street, U.S.A. almost free of Guests which can be a quick and unique photo opportunity for you. Another option is to dine inside Disney California Adventure Park at Ariel’s Grotto. You will also need a valid theme park admission ticket to dine here.
I hope this helps you. Please feel free to visit us again with any other planning questions you may have.
Remember to "Let It Go" and have a Fairy Tale time at The Happiest Place on Earth!
