Replacing the critter breakfast currently hosted by Chip and Dale, guests will get the chance to be part of Mickey’s tales of adventure through his magical Adventurer’s Journal.
Meanwhile, Donald Duck will be taking the helm at Disney’s PCH Grill, in a new experience called Donald’s Seaside Breakfast. Donald will celebrate along with his best girl, Daisy Duck, in a dance filled experience that will also feature Stitch.

For those interested in more traditional dining experiences, Storytellers will receive new food additions for their lunch and dinner menus. Going along with current trends, Avocado Toast will be a featured item.
Pizza will also be made available, with two options availble that include ‘Nduja Sausage and Margherita Artisanal varieties.
