Greetings, and a warm welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Julie!
Dining at the
Garden Grove has always been a unique experience for my family. The ambiance evokes the feeling of being in New York City Central Park as you enjoy daily buffet and a la carte items. Disney Characters join in for special meet and greets each night at dinner and during the Good Morning Character Breakfasts on Saturdays and Sundays.
Meeting Chip 'n' Dale, for us, took place during the
Good Morning Breakfast on a Sunday. They were accompanied by Pluto and Goofy, which made for an extra fun meet and greet. Don't forget to bring your Disney Character Autograph book and camera and keep in mind that Disney Characters at dining venues are subject to change, so it's best to call Disney Dining Reservations (407) 939-1947 close to your scheduled visit just to make sure, Julie.
You can also meet
Chip 'n' Dale at Rafiki's Planet Watch at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and at
Chip 'N Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long at the Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.
After your meal at Garden Grove you may wish to visit
Disney's BoardWalk, nearby, an Atlantic City and Coney Island-style themed area offering a shoreside promenade filled with entertainment, dining and shopping experiences and a lovely view of
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth fireworks show from Epcot.
Best Disney Dishes!
