Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will once again host two distinct holiday-themed character meals. From November 17, 2025, through January 6, 2026, guests can enjoy Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast for dinner and Daisy’s Holiday Pajama Party for breakfast and brunch, offering unique opportunities to interact with beloved characters in their festive attire.
Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast
In the evenings, Storyteller’s Cafe transforms to celebrate the classic holiday tale, “Mickey’s Christmas Carol.” During this dining experience, guests can meet and take photos with characters dressed in costumes inspired by the film. The character lineup includes Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Clarabelle Cow, and Scrooge McDuck, who will circulate throughout the dining room to visit with families.
The dinner is served as an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet, featuring a menu designed to appeal to a variety of tastes. Main selections include Herb-Roasted Rib Eye, Herb-Roasted Turkey, Braised Beef Short Ribs, and a Three-Cheese Tortellini. The buffet also offers an extensive array of salads, soups, side dishes, and desserts to complete the meal.
