Overview
- Disney posted Tuesday that the Plaza Inn character dining experience will be unavailable starting August 10 and is expected to return in late September with no specific return date.
- The company did not offer a reason for the pause or a fixed reopening day, leaving guests uncertain about impacted reservations.
- Guests who hold bookings between August 10 and late September are advised to check the Disneyland app or call for rebooking because Disney’s outreach may not match travelers’ planning timelines.
- Plaza Inn is notable for hosting seven to eight characters per meal with Minnie Mouse guaranteed, charging $55 per adult and $33 per child, and for granting dedicated early-entry turnstile access when reservations are at or before park opening.
- Storytellers Café at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel is the closest alternative but uses pricier table service with a different character roster, and Plaza Inn’s late-September return will overlap Disneyland’s Halloween Time which may prompt some guests to reschedule for the seasonal event.
