Hey there, Eloisa!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so very much for turning to me with your wonderful
Disneyland Resort vacation planning question. I'm thrilled you're hoping to create a special birthday memory for your mother, Eloisa! There's no better place to celebrate a magical milestone than The Happiest Place on Earth. I'd be honored to help you plan for a fun-filled stay-cation!
It sounds like you're hoping to enjoy an evening of entertainment at one of the
Disneyland Resort hotels. I like your style! Though most would say that The Happiest Place on Earth is all about the theme parks, I'd argue that relaxing poolside at one of the resorts on property is truly unbeatable. I'm very happy to inform you that, at the time of writing, Guests can take advantage of a spectacular
special offer on Disneyland Resort hotel stays this summer! At this time, it looks like both the
Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa show remaining availability under this special rate, but I encourage you to act quickly to secure your booking.
Dining with
Disney Characters is always a good idea, Eloisa! Since you mentioned your mother enjoys dancing, I recommend checking out
Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. There, she'll be able to twirl her napkin and enjoy a bountiful buffet in a zany atmosphere amidst pals like Minnie Mouse, Chip, Dale, Pluto, and Chef Goofy! However, if you'd like to treat your mom to a meal with the main mouse, himself, look no further than Mickey’s Tales of Adventure Breakfast Buffet at
Storytellers Cafe at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. While the ambiance is more relaxed (not quite as much dancing involved), it does offer Guests the opportunity to dine with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Chip, Dale, and Pluto in their adventure gear! It's important to note that the Disney Characters do not appear at dinner time in this location - only during breakfast.
Eloisa, thank you again for trusting me with your delightful Disneyland Resort planning question. I hope these suggestions are helpful as you begin planning an unforgettable experience for your mom, filled with dancing and celebration! Be sure to request a complimentary birthday
celebration button from the Front Desk of your Disneyland Resort hotel upon check-in so that the other Guests and Cast Members can help celebrate your mother on her special day. If you have any additional questions ahead of your stay-cation, please don't hesitate to revisit us here at
planDisney. We're all ears!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
