Hi there, Mark!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks so much for visiting with your great question about exploring the
Disneyland Resort. It sounds like you have a magical family vacation in the works!
Not only do children under the age of 3 get free admission to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, but they also eat for free at all-you-care-to-enjoy dining experiences, including
Character Dining meals! Each restaurant has a set price for children ages 3 to 9 and another price for Guests ages 10 and up.
“Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park” at
Plaza Inn inside Disneyland Park is a great choice for a hearty buffet of breakfast classics while visiting with Minnie and the gang.
Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel is another of my favorite character dining locations at the resort because of its large selection of food and fun character variety. You’ll find an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet that includes Mickey-shaped waffles, PB&J “pizza,” an omelet station and a whole section devoted to kids’ breakfast favorites during brunch. At dinnertime, selections include a carving station, catch of the day, a full dessert bar and more. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made up to 60 days in advance online or by phone. Whichever restaurant you choose, be sure to bring along your camera and autograph book!
I hope this helps you plan, Mark. Are there any other questions you have about the Happiest Place on Earth? Please feel free to send them our way!
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
