Storytellers Dinner Buffet

[road2disney]

anyone have reviews on this one?

Are any characters around or is it just the dinner buffet?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't been, but there are no characters. This is just a dinner buffet or I believe a menu is available too.

I have enjoyed the dinner buffet many times. There are no characters at lunch or dinner, and you have a choice at dinner of having the buffet or ordering from the menu. I enjoy the buffet, it is around $25, and usually has prime rib, chicken, fish, salads, the wonderful corn chowder, veggies, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, potatoes, and desserts. They don't always tell you, but you can also get an ice cream sundae for dessert at the buffet. Just ask one of the workers at the buffet if they could help you. A drink is also included in the price of the buffet.

The corn chowder is AWESOME!!!! The characters are present for breakfast and if I had a choice between all other buffets...I'd definitely pick Storytellers over all others. We went a couple of weeks ago and my kids picked the pizza. They came out with this tray and the kids got to design their pizza. They also gave them a chef's hat. When they were done they brought it to be put into the oven and then brought it back out. My 4 year old was beside himself and was so proud to eat the pizza he designed.

No characters except at breakfast. I had the buffet a couple of years ago and I thought it was really very good - a good selection of food and very nicely prepared. I was at Storyteller's about a month ago for dinner and ordered off the menu instead (didn't want as much food as the buffet would have been!) but took a look at the buffet, and it still looked really good. Considering the prices on the menu, the buffet is actually not a bad deal, especially if you plan to order dessert, too.

The menu from Storyteller's (including the buffet menu is here: http://allearsnet.com/dlr/din/menu/men_std.htm

Yummy! We've had the dinner buffet at Storyteller's twice and loved it both times. Be sure to try the corn chowder! Also, the cookies are yummy too. The food is much better quality than other dinner buffets. On our most recent trip, we went to Goofy's Kitchen with my sister & her family and it was more expensive and not as good as Storytellers (but did have characters). Next time I'd definitely pick Storytellers instead.

My son and I discovered the Storyteller late one Saturday afternoon. We were walking through DTD and I hadn't yet been in the Grand Californian (and wanted a real, sit-down, meal). I figured that if they had a buffet, the kid (who was at that time existing on mac 'n' cheese, pizza, and cheeseburgers) would be able to find something he would eat.

Well, we walked in the front door and were hit with the aroma of BBQ ribs. We had a short wait because of a few large parties ahead of us, so I asked for the menu to look over. I wanted to point out any of my son's favorite options.

When the waiter came to take our order, the kid, then 10, said "Mom, can I have the ribs? They smell so good! This kid was, and is super-picky about food. He has a sensory disorder that makes him extremely sensitive to the textures of different foods. I said, "Sure" and ordered spaghetti so he would have a fall-back, but he LOVED the ribs! He couldn't finish them all, so we took the left-overs back to the Hilton (DH was at a conference, so concierge-level room was free for 4 days), and DH ended up eating the leftovers 'cause he hadn't had dinner. DH loves ribs and agreed that they were great.

They are only offered at dinner, but we now make it a point to eat early dinner at the Storyteller! A bonus, the kid will now order ribs just about anywhere!
