    Could you please tell me? Can I meet characters at the Storytellers Cafe dinner on July 25th?

    Yumiko-san, youkoso. Hello and welcome to planDisney! Having a few extra magical friends stop by is a great way to enjoy a meal, which is why I love character dining at the Disneyland Resort

    One of my favorite ways to start or end my magical visits is with a character meal at Storytellers Cafe in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. I'm delighted to share that I called and chatted with a helpful Cast Member who let me know that Donald's Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet is currently available for booking at Storytellers Cafe. During this dinner experience, Donald Duck and Humphrey the Bear are featured along with a few other characters that will make their way to your table during your meal. Yokatta desu ne!

    I love the Storytellers Cafe buffet. There are so many delicious offerings to choose from, there's no question that I'm going back for seconds (sometimes even thirds). I also love how the desserts are bite-sized, so I can try more than one.

    I've experienced a few character meals here and have always left with my heart full and with a smile on my face. There have often been times when the characters made it to my table more than once. Make sure you have your camera ready to go to snap photos and capture all of your character interactions. And be sure to check with the Cast Member when you check in to see if there are any complimentary buttons for you to remember your experience. 

    Yumiko, I hope this has been helpful as you prepare for your upcoming visit. Please come back to visit us with any other questions that you might have. Until then, here's wishing you a most magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. Tanoshinde kudasai!
