I’ve been several times to various character meals with my kids and even just with friends. I enjoy them that much! At first, I struggled with the price point. I didn’t want to pay for all of us to dine with characters we regularly meet in the parks. Especially now that characters are even easier to find with the Disneyland App and random sightings around the parks.
But let me tell you, I have had so many incredible experiences at Plaza Inn Minnie & Friends character dining at Disneyland Park, that I have gone multiple times on my own dime.
I think of it as paying to see the characters, with breakfast included. You could hug, chat and take all kinds of photos with the characters as they roam nearby. My friends Becca from This Crazy Adventure Called Life, Leslie from Trips with Tykes are pictured below ready to snap that selfie.
It is that coveted one-on-one time with Disney character
s I enjoy the most— otherwise you would just dine anywhere at the Disneyland Resort.
Plaza Inn Breakfast Characters
Obviously you’re here to meet all the Disney characters possible, and while the line-up can and does change, Minnie Mouse is a guaranteed meet and greet right when you walk in. And with all the fun you’ll have meeting your Disney pals, it’s always smart to bring an autograph book with you. This makes it easier for timid children to enjoy their interactions and have something to look back on after your vacation.
Before getting set up at your table, your group will meet Minnie Mouse here in front of her herb garden. She’s all set with her apron and ready for her close up.
You’ll be able to download these photos for free or if the free option isn’t available you can purchase the photo in this cute keepsake frame brought to your table.

Minnie & Friends Breakfast Menu
Get made-to-order omelets (order this first since it can have a small wait) and Mickey waffles, French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, breakfast potatoes, fresh-baked pastries and breads, fruit, and hot and cold cereals.
Breakfast is served via buffet style. I suggest getting several plates at with a variety of food at the beginning and serve those family style at your table, that way you aren’t at the buffet when a favorite character comes by.
I always enjoy a made-to-order veggie omelet with Mickey waffles
(sometimes they even have Minnie Waffles!) and a fountain drink. You’ll also find a variety of fresh fruit, pastries, cereal, yogurt and more. You will find ample juice selections, sodas, coffee and hot cocoa.
Don’t forget to grab discount Disneyland tickets as you plan your vacation to the Disneyland Resort.

Where do I sign up for mouse dining alerts?
You can use this link right here: https://lddy.no/118fs
Do you know how the reservations work I was up in time to check around 3am 60 days out and didn’t see anything. I tried the mouse dining alerts but don’t really get anything either.
Yes, normally they’re released very consistently. But since reopening it’s been random. Mouse Dining is truly your best bet, they will catch them once they’re live.
So we don’t need to pay for our two year old for Minnie’s breakfast, but do we still need to make a reservation for them? – (do they count towards the party size in the online reservation?)
You got it, spot on.
Do I need to purchase a breakfast for a 2 year old?
You do not, only 3 and older.
Is it like Goofy’s kitchen? All you can eat buffet?
That’s right, very similar!
We had breakfast here on our first Disneyland trip a few years ago and it was so worth it! So many rare characters and the interaction was great. I also love that you went solo, that’s awesome!
Hi Becky, I am glad you had such a good time there. It’s definitely top of my list for character interactions.
