Storyteller's Cafe at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel

On the last day of our Disneyland vacation, my family and I wanted to have breakfast with the characters. We didn’t reserve it 60 days before, but we looked for reservations that morning, and found one for Storyteller’s Cafe located at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. If you don’t have hotel reservations, you can still park at the hotel with a dining reservation. They will check your name at the security booth.

Upon arrival, we checked in with the cast member and waited for our names to be called. The wait didn't take long at all. We got there just in time for breakfast and our experience was enjoyable. They had a yogurt parfait bar, choice of pastries and cereals, a charcuterie platter and smoked salmon bar. For the hot selections, they had oatmeal, an omelet station, bacon, sausage, chili verde chilaquiles (these were delicious) and of course, Mickey waffles. They also had eggs benedict, carved meats, and some delicious french toast. I had a little bit of everything but I especially liked the chili verde chilaquiles and the blueberry muffins.


The children (and adults) really enjoyed seeing the characters visit each table. It was a wonderful experience. It does come with a steep price tag at $52 per adult and $31 per child (plus tax and gratuity). I thought it was worth it because waiting to meet characters at the park during the summer months is nearly impossible.

Storyteller’s Café is more than just a place to eat; it’s a celebration of Disney’s ability to craft unforgettable stories, not just through their films, but through every facet of their resorts and dining experiences.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th...
