On Friday, the Disneyland Resort kicked off its 25th anniversary celebration of Disney California Adventure and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. This saw limited time offerings like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in new Disney California Adventure-inspired outfits on Buena Vista Street, the return of Soarin’ Over California for a limited time, the opening of Napa Rose, and a whole lot more (see below). It also saw the debut of Humphrey the Bear at Storytellers Cafe.
To help celebrate the 25th anniversary of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa in Anaheim, Calif., Humphrey the Bear will make his debut at Donald’s Tales of Adventure dinner buffet at Storytellers Cafe at Disneyland Resort, beginning Feb. 6, 2026. Guests can find this mischievous, snack-loving grizzly bear alongside Donald Duck and other Disney characters during this campfire-style barbecue buffet located at the award-winning hotel.

The arrival of Humphrey the Bear is the first time that this lovable character has appeared in the Disney Parks. Prior to this, he has been a fan favorite found in several shorts through the years. Things never seem to go right for him on the screen so his arrival at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa was a happy one as things did seem to go right on his first night! He made new friends with guests who were dining there, danced around the restaurant, and even apparently befriended Donald Duck!
