Hi there, Julie!
Welcome to planDisney! It's lovely to meet you.
Character meals are such an awesome way to visit with our favorite princesses and heroes! Normally,
Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Napa Rose takes place Thursday through Monday. But sometimes holidays cause the schedule to be adjusted, and this is one of those times. I was able to speak with a Cast Member at Napa Rose today who confirmed for me that the princess brunch will not be offered on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. Perhaps the princesses have big plans for a ball to ring in 2024 and will need some extra sleep? I'm sorry that the schedule change means brunch isn't available on the date you were hoping for. I did learn that brunch would be held on Tuesday and Wednesday that week, so maybe one of those extra days will work for your schedule!
There are a couple of other
character dining options that are available on New Year's Day! I can still see some availability at
Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel and
Minnie & Friends - Breakfast in the Park at Disneyland Park. These locations probably won't have princesses visiting, but they will have lots of fun Disney pals ready for hugs, high-fives, and maybe even a little dancing!
If you still want to visit some princesses then you should stop by
Royal Hall or enjoy
Storytelling at Royal Theater in Fantasyland! I love the funny and clever retellings of
Tangled and
Beauty and the Beast at the theater, they're perfect for the whole family. Don't forget to visit
Maurice's Treats nearby for a delicious Boysen Apple Freeze and some Garlic Cheesy Pretzel Bread!
I'm so sorry that you won't be able to have brunch with the princesses on New Year's Day, Julie. I'm sending lots of pixie dust your way in the hope that you'll find some alternative plans that are just as wonderful!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
