Disney's PCH Grill Anaheim

Morning everyone

Really would love to see Stitch & I believe this is one of a few places he does the Character pictures in California?

Has anyone been here for Breakfast? Thinking of booking when we go - you can't book as far in advance for here as you can in Florida so November isn't available as yet.

Would possibly book for the 7am slot & then head to the Disney parks.

Is it possible we could park at the parks for say 6.30ish & walk to the restaurant & then on to the parks to save moving the car.

Also what's the food like?

We've done character dining in Tusker House - Animal Kingdom & Crystal Palace - Magic Kingdom in Florida before.

Thanks

Ate there twice as Stitch is my sons favourite too. Most recently 10 days ago. Food is standard Disney breakfast, plenty of choice including the essential Mickey waffles plus a few Californian extras such as chilaquiles (Breakfast Tortillas). All fine but of course overpriced as your playing for the characters

They recently changed the character set up so you now get Donald on arrival then Daisy, Minnie and Stitch visit your table. The character interaction here is outstanding. The characters visit the table several times and get up to to all sorts of mischief.

We've also done Tusker House and Crystal Palace and food is comparable. The setting is a little plainer as it's more of a standard restaurant set up. More like a smaller version of Chef Mickey's if you've ever been there.

Everything in Disneyland is in walking distance so parking up and walking over to Breakfast is not a problem. Mickey and Friends lot would be easier as its on that side on the resort. You take either a tram to Downtown Disney or you can walk to Paradise from there (about 15-20 minutes walk). It's then about 10-15 minutes walk through Downtown Disney to the parks, passing security on your way.

Thank you, that's great!

Do you happen to know if the Mickey parking lot only opens up an hour before the park opens? I'm sure I'd read this.. So if we have a reservation for 7am we wouldn't be able to park at this one at say 6.30am if the park doesn't open until 8/9am?

Thinking about changing our day as we were going to go on the Friday - but that's the official start of the holidays & I've seen it's going to be very busy according to here isitpacked/disneylan...ctor-calendar/

I've booked a Warner Bros tour & was thinking about changing the day so we'd do Disney on the Wednesday & Warner Bros Friday but there's a �25 admin fee..

But then I've brought value tickets & would need to upgrade them to regular tickets which would be $20 each ticket, so $40 so I'm thinking it's still cheaper even though annoying to pay the admin fee..

Sorry i'm not sure if they ever open parking earlier than published. If they don't you could park at the Paradise Pier (PCH Grill will validate your ticket) and then you could quickly move the car to the other lot. It's just down the road.

Thank you, sounds like a plan.

Upon further investigation it says Mickeys parking lot is open 90 minutes prior.. so if it has extra hours & opens at 8am we'd be able to park at 6.30am so we'll see..

Rang Attraction tickets direct back & she said she could reduce the fee to �10, so that was nice of her, she's emailed Warner Brothers to check it's ok so have to wait to hear back from them.
