The Minnie & Friends Disneyland Character Breakfast
Not all Disneyland Breakfasts are created equal. There is only one true Disneyland breakfast that is actually located inside of Disneyland – and that’s the Minnie & Friends character breakfast at the Plaza Inn.
Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park at the Plaza Inn
If you want to experience all aspects of Disney magic whilst you are visiting Disneyland California, then you really must do at least one Disneyland breakfast.
There are several amazing California Disneyland breakfasts available, including the Donald Duck Breakfast at the Paradise Pier Hotel, Mickey’s Tales of Adventure and the Princess Breakfast at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, and Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel – however we think it would be hard to beat the Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park – which happens right inside Disneyland at the Plaza Inn.
Location Location Location!
This Disney breakfast is the only one to actually take place inside Disneyland. Hosted in the historic Plaza Inn restaurant, an original landmark of Disneyland Park, this location simply can’t be beat. If that wasn’t enough Disney magic, this Disney breakfast experience is made all the more special by it’s views of the Disneyland Sleeping Beauty castle!
Before you go – don’t forget these essential items!
Essential items to take along with you to your Minnie and Friends Disneyland breakfast are your camera (of course!) and a Disney Autograph book, which you can purchase from most Disneyland gift shops. Your Disneyland Autograph Book will become one of your child’s most treasured Disney souvenirs. My girls page through their autograph books in wonder. If I had a dollar for every time Brooke or Samantha exclaimed, “I can’t believe we filled up our autograph books!”, I’d be a rich mum! Each Disney character has their own, very special autograph style – and it’s absolutely charming watching them sign your child’s book as they look on in awe.
What is the Minnie & Friends Breakfast like?
This wonderful Disney breakfast was truly magical. My girls and I absolutely loved every moment. Whilst it’s truly a thrill to come across Disney character circulating outside in the Disneyland theme park itself, it’s here at the Minnie & Friends breakfast that you will be given the opportunity to spend quality time with almost every Disney pal you can think of will come to you!
You have the opportunity to get photographs, hug, high five and generally hang out with all your Disney favourites – from the fabulous Minnie Mouse to Eeyore and even Chip and Dale, you’ll be starstruck with this very special Disneyland experience. With character after character dropping by our breakfast table to sign autographs, hug and pose for photographs, we all agreed this was one of our favourite times at Disneyland – and given how much we adored every aspect of Disneyland, that’s really saying something!
What is on the menu at a Disneyland Breakfast?
An expansive all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast is laid out for all to enjoy – with lots of special Disneyland themed foods too, of course! From all your standard hot breakfast or continental breakfast regulars such as bacon and eggs, to the essential Mickey Mouse waffles, you will be well set-up and ready to hit the Park afterwards!
You can even add a Mickey ears cake to your Disney breakfast reservation if you like!
Are Disneyland breakfasts just for kids or families?
No way! Whilst Disneyland breakfast are every child’s dream, and of course Disneyland breakfasts are very popular with families, you will also see adults of all ages, be they singles, young to elderly couples and groups of adults without a child to be seen. People of all ages love Disneyland!
How do I book a Disneyland Character Breakfast?
You will need a valid ticket for entrance into Disneyland, and so access the Plaza Inn. Reservations for the Minnie & Friends Disney characters breakfast are highly recommended, however if there is availability you can attend without a prior booking (You will need to pay for the character breakfast experience if you are a walk-in).
