Where to get reservations for character dining

[Catira]

Hi, I will be traveling to disneyland this month with my 10yr. old and 6yr. old children. First time to visit disneyland. Have gone several times to disneyworld. What character dining would you all suggest.
Thanks so much!!

Are they boys or girls? If girls the ndefinitely do the Princess Breakfast at the Plaza Inn. If not, then most here would suggest Goofy's kitchen is the best character meal.

If you are Lilo and Stitch fans there is a breakfast at the Paradise Pier Hotel that is supposed to be fun. Disneyland does not have as many character dining choices as WDW but they still have a variety. We love Goofy's Kitchen, it is more expensive than say Chef Mickey's but we think the food is better. We always see Goofy, Pluto, Chip and/or Dale, Minnie and usually a princess or two, plus another character. Some of those we have seen have been: Aladdin, Genie, Captain Hook and Alice to name a few. I find the character meals at Disneyland to have more characters at each one than the ones at WDW. Probably because they don't have as many offerings, they make each one count a little more! You can call: 714-781-3463 to set up your priority seatings. I believe for the resort character meals its 60 days and 6 weeks for the ones in the park.

My 10yr old is a girl and my 6yr old is a boy. At WDW we did the princess breakfast during christmas week. Also have done lunch with Pooh and friends. I doubt there will be any priority seatings still available for this month, but did not know which ones we would try. Thanks so much for the advice. Wow, I don't know who is more excited about disneyland, my kids or me!!
Have a good weekend!!
