Storytellers Cafe

This buffet restaurant captures the spirit of California folklore through its cozy Craftsman-style architecture and warm wood details. During breakfast and brunch, you can meet Mickey Mouse and other classic characters dressed in their outdoor adventure gear. The atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, making it a great spot to fuel up before heading into the parks. Dinner transitions to a quieter character dining meal with Donald Duck and friends. You can also book a dining package here that includes reserved viewing for the World of Color show.

The restaurant is located on the ground floor of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, next to the Mariposa Slides pool area. If you are coming from Disney California Adventure, you can use the hotel's dedicated entrance near Grizzly Peak and follow the hallway past the lobby. Guests staying at other Disney hotels or visiting from Disneyland Park can walk through the Downtown Disney District to the main hotel entrance.

The breakfast and brunch buffets feature classic breakfast items like Mickey-shaped waffles, egg white frittatas, and chile verde chilaquiles. You will also find an omelet station, seasonal fresh fruit, and pastries like croissants and beignets. For dinner, the buffet shifts to California-inspired dishes and hand-carved meats.
