A Fan-Favorite Restaurant at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort Is Closing For Refurbishment
If you are a frequent Disneyland guest, you know there is nothing better than staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
The flagship hotel of Disneyland Resort, the Grand Californian is designed to evoke the beauty and wonder of the National Park Service lodges of the Western United States. Like Walt Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge, it is a place where the beauty of nature blends with the magic of Disney.

Between its stunning atmosphere, luxurious pools, and easy access to Disney California Adventure, the Grand Californian is my favorite Disneyland hotel. However, if you are staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa this March, I have some bad news.
Storytellers Cafe Is Closing For Refurbishment
Storytellers Cafe will be temporarily closing for a few weeks to facilitate a refurbishment of the restaurant.
For those who don’t know, Storytellers Cafe is a buffet where guests can dine with their favorite Disney characters during breakfast and lunch. The characters do not appear during dinner.

At this time, Disneyland has not announced an exact closing date for Storytellers Cafe. Instead, a note on the Grand Californian website states that the restaurant will be closed for a “few weeks in March” and that guests should check back for updates.
Hearthstone Lounge Will Have Extended Hours
While Storytellers Cafe is closed for refurbishment, guests are encouraged to visit Hearthstone Lounge, which will have extended hours and an expanded menu.

So, if you plan on staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort, have no fear. It might take a little extra planning, but the hotel will still have plenty of dining options!
