Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast at Disneyland

I admit, I was a little skeptical of doing a Disneyland character meal because of the cost involved. But let me tell you, it was worth it!

Instead of thinking of it as a meal or breakfast with character visits, think of it as paying to see the characters, with breakfast included. It’s much easier for me to swallow the price tag when I see it that way. And truly, you are going there to experience the coveted one-on-one time with characters— otherwise you would have just dined anywhere at the Disneyland Resort.

When you choose Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast at Disneyland, you’re getting much more than a meal. You are getting one-on-one time that you won’t get anywhere else. Characters come to your table throughout the meal so you won’t miss a thing!

If you’re like me and prefer to ride as many rides as possible during your Disneyland vacation, you’ll want to choose a character dining experience at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels. This way you’re not wasting any prime time inside the parks.

Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast Characters

Obviously you’re here to meet all the Disney characters possible, and while the line-up can and does change, Donald Duck is a guaranteed meet and greet right when you walk in. Before getting set up at your table, your group will meet Donald Duck here in front of a surf-shack inspired backdrop. He’s all set with his beach wear and surf attire. Hand your camera to the PhotoPass photographer and they’ll snap a few photos.

Your picture will look something like this, just swap out Mickey Mouse for Donald Duck because the characters have changed since our first visit there. If you have Disney MaxPass, you’ll be able to download this photo for free, or you can purchase the photo in a cute keepsake frame.

Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast Food

We made a reservation for the last breakfast of the day at 10:50 am. It made for a great brunch and we were stuffed well into the afternoon. Plus, we could sleep in and look a little more awake in our photos. Our late arrival meant we had the whole restaurant almost entirely to ourselves, characters included! The downside? It was obviously closing time and we felt a little rushed. I recommend a 10:30 am time for the perfect combination of emptiness without being rushed.

I read tons of reviews online about this particular character dining and the reviews for food were all over the board. I prepped myself for a mediocre food experience but found it to offer a large variety of delicious food. Choose from build-your-own-parfait stations, a variety of eggs prepared in different way, chilaquiles, chicken and waffles, smoked salmon, Mickey waffles, Minnie pancakes, Banana Foster French toast, hot and cold cereals, sausage, bacon and seasonal fresh fruit.
