Hiya, Keiko! Welcome to planDisney!
You have discovered my Disneyland Resort hidden gem! I absolutely love
Storytellers Cafe. Not only is the space grand and beautiful, but the ambiance is also cozy, casual, and welcoming. When my Mousketeers were younger, it was my go-to spot for lunch reservations. I loved that it was located inside
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and a bit off the beaten path. It offered a much-needed break from the park hustle and bustle. Once we ate and got some downtime in the air conditioning, we were ready to hit the parks with a second wind!
I'm so happy to be the one to tell you that there are no longer restrictions on party size for dining reservations! The only issue you might run into is booking a table for all 9 of you together. If you find that there is no availability showing for a group that size, I recommend breaking the group into a party of 4 and a party of 5. If you are able to get two
reservations relatively close in time, just have a chat with the Cast Members when you arrive. They will do everything in their pixie-dusted power to try to seat you all together. No guarantees, of course, but they will certainly do their best!
If you're going for breakfast or brunch, you'll get to enjoy some face time with your favorite characters at
Mickey's Tales of Adventure Breakfast Buffet! This is a great way to have some special moments with characters without having to wait in line and use your precious park minutes!
Keiko, just a few more weeks until you are enjoying the magic of the Happiest Place on Earth! If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at

See ya real soon!
