Welcome to planDisney, Michael! How wonderful to have you here, and thank you for sharing this question with us.
I love to hear that you are considering dining at
Storytellers Cafe. It is one of my favorite
character dining experiences and the breakfast and brunch buffets are delicious! You are correct that brunch service ends at 1:15 PM and there are usually seatings up until shortly after the 1:00 PM hour. In my experience, the characters will ensure that Guests have ample opportunity to see them during their meal, but my typical recommendation is to allow a full hour to meet Mickey, Minnie, and all their pals in their adventure gear! This will also allow you to enjoy a leisurely meal without feeling rushed toward the end of your time.
One of my favorite activities at Storytellers Cafe is to look closely at the patches on each character's adventure vest. My kids love imagining what types of adventures the characters have been on based on those wilderness explorer badges. I hope this has been helpful for now, Michael. If you have other questions that come up, or if you'd like any clarification, please don't hesitate to come back to
planDisney anytime! We'd love to help.
Wishing you Wondrous Journeys,
Tishra
