Restaurants in grand, Californian, and Disneyland

[Mickeys gal 52]

I am going to California and will stay at the grand Californian in March. What are some really good restaurants to go to there with a two-year-old little girl. She already loves princesses.

There is a princess breakfast at Napa Rose in Grand Californian. I haven't been myself, but it heard it is great for meeting the princesses. Quite pricey, but 2 year olds may still be young enough to eat free.

The Napa Rose option looks awesome and I'm 100% sure we'll take the plunge on that for our girl (oh heck our son too and he likes to talk to the princesses) one of these days. The food/brunch also looks a bit more upscale and that's nice.

The other good options I would consider is storytellers café or the breakfast at Plaza Inn. Both are a less of a princess theme and more characters but then you could just head over to the Plaza Gardens/Royal Hall area near the castle and have fun visiting princesses there. We have had great interactions with the princesses in that area on each trip.

Prob worth heading over to the Disneyland boards-lots of experts there. Have a blast!

The Napa princess experience is really really good. Highly recommend it. Great interaction with the Princesses.

We have enjoyed Jazz Kitchen, and for atmosphere and ambiance, the Blue Bayou rules the day.

I guess it depends on your 2 year old, but these are not places I would take a 2 year old!!! I love, love both of these but I have high school kids at this point.

If she likes princesses, the princess breakfast would be great.

She might also like Red Rose tavern, which has food from Beauty and the Beast, like "The gray stuff-it's delicious," and the "Beast's burger." The interior is really cute.

Plaza Inn is not princess themed but it's so pretty inside, and they have a character breakfast with Minnie and the Fairy Godmother shows up sometimes.
