Storytellers Cafe Breakfast with Chip 'n Dale (Grand Californian Hotel)

This very popular character breakfast is hosted by pals Chip and Dale and often, Brother Bear’s Koda and Kenai (occasionally replaced by other animal characters). The Storytellers Café is well known for its delicious, “more than you can eat” buffets. Add to this some zany adventures, sing and dance-alongs, and you are in for a “nutty” good time. Note, however, that the characters do not visit the tables as frequently as other at Disney character meals. Cost is $29.99/adults and $14.99/kids ages 3–9. Breakfast seating starts at 7:00 am and ends at 11:25 am. Jennifer and Dave’s Rating: 7/10
