On the last day of our Disneyland vacation, my family and I wanted to have breakfast with the characters. We didn’t reserve it 60 days before, but we looked for reservations that morning, and found one for Storyteller’s Cafe located at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa . If you don’t have hotel reservations, you can still park at the hotel with a dining reservation. They will check your name at the security booth. Upon arrival, we checked in with the cast member and waited for our names to be called. The wait didn't take long at all. We got there just in time for breakfast and our experience was enjoyable. They had a yogurt parfait bar, choice of pastries and cereals, a charcuterie platter and smoked salmon bar. For the hot selections, they had oatmeal, an omelet station, bacon, sausage, chili verde chilaquiles (these were delicious) and of course, Mickey waffles. They also had eggs benedict, carved meats, and some delicious french toast. I had a little bit of every...

I don't know about you, but I have always LOVED Disney in the Fall. Here are five things that make going to Disney in the Fall the BEST! 1. WEATHER Weather in the Fall in Central Florida is a bit unpredictable, with hurricanes and tropical storms and all, but a good 75% of the time  the weather is beautiful . Mostly warm, sunny days, followed by comfortable, breezy nights. Warm enough to swim, but cool enough to not feel like your face is melting.  Beautiful blue skies over Animal Kingdom  2. CROWDS  This one mostly applies to early to mid September when  the kiddos heading back to school which causes a  massive drop in park attendance . If you are kid-free, or take the kids out of school, you'll have lower crowds.  Wait times for rides and attractions are at their one of their lowest of the year (January has weeks that are lower), and pool and water park crowds are drastically reduced. It's a totally different experience from Summer, Christmas ...
