One of our faves for both the character breakfast/brunch but even the non-character dinner since it's a quick stop to leave California Adventure and reenter through the hotel gate. Buffet style sit down with tons of options. Open 7 am to 9 pm.

Great gem. Ambiance is immersive and fun. Good for adults looking for some great drinks from great bartenders. Not as good as the one in Orlando however as it's smaller in size. Decent food!
