Storytellers cafe dinner experience at disneyland? | Anaheim, CA
Storytellers is my favorite! Their dinner menu is better than Goofy’s. Goofy’s has a fun vibe with characters and their food is good.

BEST food in all of Disney! We go every single trip, it’s a must! The food is always delicious with a ton of options for everyone. They even have kid options to order from the server.
Pro tip- you can get a hot coco togo after your meal while you wait in line for sorn (Soarin) Storytellers- PLEASE bring back the corn cheddar soup… please, I am begging you.
Also- don’t skip the bread pudding

Lovely character dining experience. The food choices were plentiful and healthy. I ate two plates including 4 different salads and loads of high quality protein. Lots of character interaction without having to flag them down. The sever acknowledged my daughter’s bday and sprinkled some Disney magic onto our bill. Much appreciated, will definitely be back.

I recommend making a reservation. I made a reservation about a month ahead of time. I ended up trying to add people to my reservation a day before but there was no availability. I went with my family to Donald’s Tales of Adventure Dinner around 7pm on a Saturday. It was my first Disney character dinner! It was such a fun experience and great atmosphere. My favorite dinner experience. We saw all the characters. My daughters only missed getting a picture with Clarabelle but they still got her autograph. Goofy and Daisy came around our table multiple times. We did see the star of the dinner, Donald. Unfortunately they ran out of Donald Duck buttons! I was disappointed by that since we paid such a large amount of money and to not receive the special button! I would highly recommend trying a character dinner if it’s in your budget. Worth every penny. I just really wish they had Donald buttons left it would have been a great souvenir!

Storytellers Cafe is likely the worst place for the gummies I took an hour earlier to fully take effect into my bloodstream. I was sitting in this rustic, cabin-like ambiance fighting for my life when Donald Duck’s girlfriend came to our table and started interacting with us. I wanted no part of it, so I have no idea why the words “I think you’re cute” left my lips. I didn’t want to catch the hands from Donald, so I got up and went to hit the buffet.
I weaved through the wild children roaming around, refusing to make eye contact or acknowledge any of the Disney characters.
My first plate consisted of prime rib, turkey breast, fried chicken, kale salad, vegetables, and a slice of pizza. They literally have everything in here. It was so overwhelming.
The thing about me is I always forget I don’t like prime rib until it’s on the plate sitting in front of me. It’s just so one dimensional. Prime Rib just doesn’t have the juice. No motion. There is no crust formation, no seasoning, and no soul. Just a pink center. That cow is still alive damn near. I will never understand the general public’s obsession with prime rib.
Everything else was middy wap besides the kale salad and pizza, so my 2nd plate consisted of only kale salad and pizza.
As I was walking back to the table with my 2nd plate, my soul barely still in my body, some music began playing loud and all the disney characters started dancing in unison through the center of the establishment. I couldn’t help but think of the people in these costumes just trying to feed their families. Crazy job to have.
As the show ended, I looked to my left and there was Donald, staring deep into my soul. I thought I was gonna have to throw a spinning wheel kick in self defense, but I slowly walked back to my table without breaking eye contact. He didn’t want this problem and I can’t blame him.
As we got up to leave, I saw Goofy. Goofy is my GUY. That lyric “Young Walt Disney Imma tell you truthfully, If you leave Mickey you gon end up with a Goofy!” lives rent free in my head, so I had to dap him up. Goofy always catching strays. SHOUTOUT TO GOOFY!

10/10 magic!!! We took our toddler in to meet characters and get comfortable. Staff were incredible and the characters were wonderful! I will absolutely cherish the memories we had at Storytellers Cafe!

Our favorite family restaurant in the entirety of the Disney Parks. Has a wonderful very high quality buffet, and it’s also a character experience. We love the food, our kids love the characters. Less pricey and more entertaining and tasty than the Goofy restaurant. We’ve been many times over the years and still keep coming back.

First time at the character dinner here and the food was a HUGE disappointment! We have been to the character breakfast here many times over the years and always had a good experience. The characters and the server were great and of course the ambience is beautiful. For two adults with tax and tip it came close to $200, so you would expect the food to be good. Drinks were all “off”. Lemonade syrup was not tasting right so I tried the orange juice which was totally watered down. The coffee tasted like it had been sitting in the pot for at least 10 hours burning. The pizza and butternut ravioli was good. The salads were all a disappointment. The charcuterie section was sitting empty for most of the time we were there. Overall there was only a few Items that were good.
The worst part came a few minutes after we paid. My daughter started getting stomach pains and Let’s just say it’s a good thing we were staying at a Disney hotel because we barely made it back to our room before dinner decided to give us a “surprise” visit! We were up all night taking turns in the bathroom. Not sure which food item gave us the food poisoning but I can say without a doubt that the culprit came from the food we ate at storytellers cafe! I would not recommend eating at this restaurant.

My family visited for the Donald’s Tale of Adventure this afternoon.
The staff was attentive and kind. The food was amazing, plentiful and just downright tasty!!
The problem was that the star of the show, Donald, went missing for stretches lasting over an hour!!!
Other friends (Daisy, Pluto, Goofy, and Clarabelle) were able to see all of the guests without issue, but Donald #1 seemed to only visit certain tables (sometimes repeatedly), ignoring many of his #1 fans.
Multiple tables had children leaving without seeing him, one of which left in tears.
Definitely come for the food, but don’t expect too much from the star. It’d be one thing if we were part of an open beta, but we were still charged full price for the diminished experience.
I’d sit this one out for a little while to let the team figure out how best to shine.

We had dinner here and it was fantastic! The food was really good and the character interaction was great! We saw Donald, Daisy, Minnie, Goofy, and Clarabell!
The service was friendly and efficient, never had an empty glass and plates were cleared away very quickly!
We enjoyed it more than Goofy’s Kitchen!
It’s pretty pricey but most Disney buffets are.

Brunch Dec, 19 2025. My 4 year old daughter first Disney experience that she will remember for a lifetime happened here. My Birthday Dec 23 celebrated here, my 13th wedding anniversary Jan 10 celebrated here… All the buttons from the front desk. All the smiling staff, all the characters, the laughter of my child, my wife’s joy…
We came expecting magic and Alexander our server delivered. Mentioning my military servicr, he told me about he wanted to be a Blue Angel pilot and that he is expecting a child soon. Disney, he is a special guy that made sure that we weren’t just a table to serve but individuals with a whole bunch of button for one day of celebrating. I expected half of what his intuitive service and humanity gave our familie’s experience. There was a red haired lady working too in the background getting all the photos lined up that made sure our time ended perfect too. I didn’t catch her name but great! Great! Great! We will talk about this day forever.
