Character meals @ DL/California Adventure

[cinmell]

Is there a place where I can find a listing of all charater meals offered at Disneyland, California Adventure, Downtown Disney and Disneyland hotels? The only one I have ever been to is Goofy's Kitchen and that was in 2000, I know a lot has changed since then.

Thanks!

Ariel's Grotto is in DCA. It is the only one there.

Storyteller's Cafe is at the Grand Californian but it is only breakfast for characters, I think. Wasn't our favorite last year -- slow...very slow. Goofy's was far better.

Goofy's is in the DL hotel for B, L, D.

Paradise Pier offers one for Breakfast .. has to do with the Sorcerer ... I think.

I also believe that there is one with Pooh in Disneyland but can't remember exactly where it is at...I get it confufsed with WDW. Sorry can't help on that one.

There are not a lot of opportunities at DL compared with WDW but we enjoy the one at Goofy's the most. Went to the one at Paradise Pier a number of years ago and it was good. We are trying it out again in a few weeks.

Disneyland Park

Plaza Inn at Main Street - Breakfast with Pooh and Friends

Enjoy a buffeteria styled breakfast at the Plaza Inn, including pancakes, eggs, cereal, breakfast pastries, and omelettes to order - the breakfast is tasty, and you'll enjoy your visit with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet. There are no Priority Seating arrangements. Breakfasts last until 11:30am

California Adventure Park

Ariel's Grotto at Paradise Pier - Lunch/dinner with Ariel & friends (Used to be called Avalon Cove)

Enjoy a sit-down lunch or dinner. There is one price, and you can pick from a menu. Ariel will greet you at the entrance, and you may be visited by Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale, Donald, etc. The food is okay, and the character interaction is excellent. Every so often, a song will come on and the characters will dance with guests, young and old (hey, we did the conga line!). This is an enjoyable meal. Priority Seating arrangements can be made, and are recommended for weekend dinner.
(Note that in the off-season, only lunch is served. Make sure that this restaurant is open before you go)

Disneyland Hotel

Goofy's Kitchen - Enjoy a breakfast, lunch, or dinner here.

One price covers the buffet meal here. The food is good - very tasty - and the character interaction is excellent. You may be visited by such characters as Goofy, Pluto, Minnie, Donald, Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland, etc. Every so often, music comes on and the characters dance with the guests. I have heard this restaurant favorably compared to Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Hotel at Walt Disney World. You can make Priority Seating Arrangements, and they are recommended for weekend dining.

Grand Californian Hotel

Storyteller Cafe - Breakfast with Chip and Dale

Enjoy breakfast with Chip and Dale and a friend or two. The characters greet you as you come in, but do not go from table to table. I have heard that the breakfast is tasty. This is a good choice if you like a more subtle character experience. You can make Priority Seating arrangements, and they are recommended for weekend breakfasts.


Paradise Pier Hotel

Breakfast with Minnie and Friends

Enjoy breakfast with Minnie, Daisy, Pluto, Max, Donald, etc. I have heard that the breakfast is tasty, served buffet style, and there is fun character interaction. You can make Priority Seating arrangements, and they are recommended for weekend breakfasts.
