Hi there, Bryanna! Welcome to planDisney. There’s nothing I love more than a character breakfast. Between the characters, yummy food, and hugs all around, it’s a great way to begin or wrap up a day at the parks. I’d love to help you with dining reservations for you and your family.
Plaza Inn hosts Minnie and Friends Breakfast in the Park. What better way to start a park day than with a hearty breakfast to get you going? Since Minnie and Friends Breakfast in the Park is only offered during breakfast hours from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, it’s not available during lunch or dinner, as the restaurant switches over to a different menu featuring mouthwatering fried chicken and warm, pillowy buttermilk biscuits. This meal is served cafeteria-style, making it a worry-free way to dine with a large party if you’re interested.
If you’re planning to dine with characters during dinner,
Goofy’s Kitchen or
Donald’s Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet will be your best choices. These restaurants begin dinner service as early as 4:00 PM and currently show reservations spaced out by 10 minute increments. I’d recommend booking as soon as possible to help guarantee tables for your party!
With a party size of 13 to 15 Guests, it may be slightly more challenging to seat everyone at one table, as most character dining locations don’t have tables large enough to accommodate such large parties. That being said, it’s not impossible. Besides, it’s kinda fun to do the impossible, right? When dining with a larger party, I like to break the group into smaller parties of 4-5 Guests and stagger reservation times within 5-10 minutes of one another. I also like to arrive at the restaurant a bit early. This allows you to let the Cast Member at the host stand know that you would like to be seated near one another if possible. Keep in mind that depending on how busy the restaurant is, it’s not guaranteed that everyone will be seated close together. But character dining at the Disneyland Resort is buffet style, so you’re bound to run into familiar faces while grabbing food for your rumbly tummies.
Bryanna, thank you so much for visiting planDisney with your question. You and your family are in for a real treat as you dine and laugh the night away with beloved characters like Donald, Daisy, and Pluto. If you have any more questions as you plan your visit, planDisney is here for you.
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
Bev
