New Character Buffet at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa
For those interested in a foodie adventure featuring Donald Duck himself, head over to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Here, you can experience Donald’s Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet, a new campfire-style barbecue buffet featuring Donald, Daisy and some of their friends in their new explorer outfits beginning May 16, at Storytellers Cafe. It is the first time you will be able to enjoy characters during dinner time, too!
