Greetings, Nancy! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Character dining is so much fun and there are lots of great options to choose from at the Disneyland Resort!
Both
Disney's PCH Grill and
Goofy's Kitchen offer delicious and varied buffets and a chance to meet some of your favorite characters. Keep in mind that dining with characters at Disney's PCH Grill is only available for the Surf's Up! Breakfast with Mickey and Friends. While at Goofy's Kitchen, you can enjoy dining with Disney pals for breakfast or dinner. Another difference is the character line up. While subject to change at any time, breakfast at Disney's PCH Grill might be one of your only chances to meet Stitch.
Since both restaurants offer a great selection of food, wonderful character interaction, and have similar costs, a deciding factor might be where you are staying. If you happen to be lodging at either Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel or the Disneyland Hotel, then choosing the restaurant located in your hotel makes getting up and getting to your breakfast reservation simple and quick.
Finally, another great character breakfast to consider is the Minnie and Friends - Breakfast in the Park at the
Plaza Inn. This meal features another great buffet, but in my opinion, the character interaction at this meal cannot be beat!
Remember, reservations are recommended for all character dining experiences and can be made 60 days in advance online or by calling (714) 781-3463. No matter which meal you choose, you are guaranteed to have fun and filling time!
