Breakfast at the Disneyland Resort Hotels often means a lot of screaming children and sub-par buffet food. Not so at the Grand Californian's Storytellers Cafe. Their Critter Breakfast is delicious and a a lot quieter than its neighboring counterparts.
The lobby area is warm and inviting, reflecting the Craftsman-style of the Grand Californian Hotel where it is located.

I guess the characters from "Brother Bear" are utilized quite extensively in the Grand Californian Hotel and Grizzly Peak area. I still have yet to see the animated feature.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great pic of you with the bear. The character looks so large next to you.
Dave, It's been another great year on your blog. I appreciate what you do here and thank you for coming back. I wish you nothing but the best in 2016.
Ken - I haven't seen Brother Bear, either…probably won't. Thanks to you for being such a faithful reader!
