Plaza Inn is one of the most iconic restaurants in Disneyland. This is our go-to if we are looking for a full meal! Here we will tell you all about this fantastic dining experience!
Plaza Inn is the only restaurant in the Disneyland Resort that has a buffet in the morning and a quick-service eatery in the afternoon and evening. Another great thing about this restaurant is that the breakfast buffet has some of the most popular Disney characters that will walk around the dining area and interact with the guests!

Does Plaza Inn require reservations?
If you want to go to the Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park, we highly recommend getting a reservation. If you don’t get a reservation, you can ask the host if there is any walk-up availability but it is not guaranteed. Especially on the weekends, it is highly unlikely to get a table.
If you are going for lunch or dinner, you don’t need a reservation! There are no character meetings during these hours but their delicious fried chicken will make up for that!
How much does the Plaza Inn Character Breakfast cost?
As of September 2023, the breakfast buffet has two prices for adults and children.
- Adult – $46 (plus tax and gratuity)
- Children (3 to 9 years old) – $27 (plus tax and gratuity)
Those prices come with an all-you-can-eat breakfast and drink. They have the famous Mickey Waffles, made-to-order omelets, Biscuits and Gravy, and so much more! During your meal, Minnie Mouse and her friends will be visiting everyone!
Which characters are at the Plaza Inn Character Breakfast?
Minnie Mouse is the star of the show but we have also met Chip and Dale, The Fairy Godmother, Winnie The Pooh, Tigger, and more! They will change out the characters from time to time but we normally always see Minnie Mouse and Chip and Dale!
What is the Plaza Inn Dining Package?
Plaza Inn Dining Package is one of the best values to get at Disneyland! It comes with a main dish, a couple of side dishes, a beverage, and a Specialty Dessert. After the dinner, you will have a prime viewing area for the parades or fireworks shows.
During the parade packages, you will get to sit in a special area on Main Street USA but for the fireworks, you will sit in a closed-off area in the outdoor seating at Plaza Inn. You will be watching the fireworks over the hedges so it will be harder to see any of the projections on the castle.
For Halloween time in 2023, they are doing a dining package for Halloween Screams Nighttime Spectacular (fireworks). It is $60 for adults and $30 for children (3 to 9 years old). You can get a discount for Magic Key Holders.
For the main dish, you will get Short Rib in Cabernet Sauce with Charred Scallion Chimichurri, Bacon-Cheddar Mash, and Roasted Broccolini. You will also get a Hibiscus Lemonade.
For the Children’s meal, it comes with Chicken Tenders, Bacon-Cheddar Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables, and a choice of small DASANI® Water or small Low-Fat Milk.
This dessert is something that Oogie Boogie would love! It is layers of Green Peppermint Mousse and crushed chocolate cookie crumbles. They top it with gummy worms and an Oogie Boogie Decoration.
How much is the Fried Chicken dinner at Plaza Inn?
As of September 2023, The Fried Chicken meal is $19.49. You get three pieces of Fried Chicken, a Buttermilk Biscuit, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, and Seasonal Vegetables.
We love to ask for double mashed potatoes instead of vegetables!
Are there vegan options at Plaza Inn?
The only option that we know about is Penne Pasta with Marinara. You will have to tell them you don’t want the Parmesan Cheese and breadstick. There are plenty of vegan options around Disneyland that we enjoyed more than this but if your party wants to go there, you will have something to eat.
Can you substitute the sides that come with the meals at Plaza Inn?
Yes! You can substitute the sides on the Chicken, Pot Roast, and Salmon. Our favorite thing to do is get double mashed potatoes on the Chicken meal. We do that instead of getting the vegetables but you are able to order an extra side. Just let the cast member who is getting your food know.
