Hum... Yeah, not sure what happened this time at the Plaza Inn in Disneyland, so let us know if your experience at the Minnie and Friends character breakfast has...changed...if you have been there before? Oh yeah, did you know that there is a Hidden Mickey inside of the Plaza Inn? Spoiler alert, it's at 07:36. 🤫
Plaza INN has been a favorite over the years. All three kids have grown up going to Disneyland. We have gone to Plaza Inn soo many times over the years. I do remember always having to get silverware and drinks. Our visit to Plaza INN breakfast was Jan 2024 and it was great! The food , characters and atmosphere, However, I felt bad, there was only one waiter, to take plates after we were done eating. So service was so so, I am glad to find your channel, I have been a Disney fanatic since 1992, visit DL and WDW
Thanks so much for the support and feedback!!! I think it might have been the timing of when I had my breakfast reservation. We have always tried to do Plaza Inn first thing in the morning, and the timing truly might have had something to do with it. This time, they didn't really have "new/rare" characters per se, and the character attendants weren't paying as much attention to if we have met the characters, but I am sure if I really wanted to, I could have. In all fairness, my dining time really bumped into their lunch time, so they probably really wanted to wrap everything up before the lunch rush. Could have been just a fluke and will definitely go back! Again, truly appreciate your comment! We hope you will stick around to journey with us! :)
Good afternoon to You, & Mike. Happy to see another character dining vlog from the channel. My experience last 3 or 4 times (in 3 yrs) at Minnie's Breakfast & Friends, was good. 1st time went there the silverware was on the table, then other times was grab yourself. I dont remember if there ever was a cast member coming by to fill coffee cups. As for charcters its varies sometimes a rare or 2 would make an appearance, & sometimes not. Last time i was there was beginning of the yr, there was 2 mouses from Cinderella, but got to meet only 1 cause they rotated mouses out. Rest of the characters all came by atleast once to the table. Will you & Mike be doing Storytellers Cafe Autumm Brunch? & Goofy's Kitchen Halloween? Im personally personally excited for autumm brunch, cause the promo pic of their outfits is so adorable. & hoping Goofy's Kitchen brings back Easter breakfast/brunch next yr, cause me & my hubby missed it this yr.
Hi April!! Thanks so much for the support and kind words! Yes, I totally agree that this breakfast has historically been one of our favorites! I honestly think that the issue was with the timing where they needed to probably wrap up breakfast and start lunch. Yeah, I’ll have to check our last vlog in 2023 to check for the drink refill thing… I could be confusing this with some of the other places, but I just remembered that drinks were refilled by CMs and we got a to-go coffee at the end of the meal. As for characters, you’re SOO right that it just depends on the day. We are planning on heading to DL in the next couple of weeks. No plans yet for a sit-down meal, hahahaha, but the Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween, we did that last year, and it was delightful. Have not done the Storytellers Cafe Autumn Brunch but may have to check it out now!!
And I stand corrected! Confirmed that the last time I went was also cafeteria style for refills! However, we did just book a Storytellers Autumn meal when we are out there for Oogie Boogie Bash!You’re right, the costume looks amazing, and we can’t wait to check that out!
@journeywithjinandmike I wish I could post a pic here. But just google or go to disney park blog/social media pages for the announcement of autumn brunch, their outfits are soo adorable 🙂. I think it starts Sept 3rd till mid Nov. Thanks for the reminder. i totally forgot to mention. 1 unique thing about any disney buffet dining is that they allow togo cups for any of their (comes w the meal, free refill) drinks. Which is very nice.
@@Aprils-เมษาMusic 1000% We love our to go drinks, hey we all paid for it anyways! lol! Also, cannot wait to check out the Autumn feast! Storytellers Cafe is another one of our favorites, but we have never done their Autumn meal and now are so excited to check that out! Thanks for the tip here! Really appreciate it!!!
@journeywithjinandmike I've been trying for a Sept 16th Storytellers brunch reservation since opened up (that is our next park reservation), but all are booked full. But manage to get a reservation for late Oct when we go back again that month, can't wait 🙂. Also looking forward to your reviews on autumn brunch, & oggie boogie 🙂.
So sorry you had this experience. I hope the character part of it was just an off day. I was there around closing time in mid-June, and when breakfast was winding down, a cast member went up to each table to ask which character you didn't get to meet yet, then escorted them over accordingly. Hopefully it's better next time!
Thank you thank you! I think the timing probably has more to do with it as well as perhaps where I was sitting. I am sure if I really wanted to see the characters whom I hadn’t seen, if I had let the CMs know, they probably would have tried to accommodate. Will have to go back to see if different timing would have been different as we always tried to go first thing in the morning and never had an issue before. 😃😃
We usually go first thing in the morning and do 1 or 2 rides and then breakfast at plaza inn around 9:30 and we see about 12 characters! It's always been a big deal for all the kids. I think later you get less characters for sure.

Omg that is so true! I always tried for the 8 am and really never had an issue so I think it was more the timing!
