Hi Rachel! If you have a question about food and Disney, you’ve come to the right place.
Storytellers Cafe is a beautiful restaurant inside
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa and offers a wonderful buffet experience for Guests. However, for dinner,
character dining is not available at this location. Storytellers Cafe only offers
Mickey’s Tales of Adventure Breakfast Buffet in the morning.
But you’re not out of luck –
Goofy’s Kitchen at the
Disneyland Hotel does offer a buffet dinner service that includes characters. In fact, I have reservations for Goofy's Kitchen coming up soon and cannot wait to stuff my face, then capture some pictures with Chef Goofy and his pals. Either way, I am sure you will have a wonderful dining experience!
And if characters are what you are looking for, then the
Disneyland Mobile App is your friend. The app map does have an option to filter for character experiences. For example, I’ve noticed Mirabel making appearances here and there near
Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante, and she may not have magical powers, but seeing her is a magical experience.
Have fun and take lots of pictures!
Best wishes,
Lola
