The classic 3-D film experience “Captain EO” is coming back to Walt Disney World Resort this summer just months after it reopened to rave reviews at Disneyland park. The 17-minute musical space-fantasy adventure film is now scheduled to begin at Epcot on July 2.  The film features Michael Jackson as “Captain EO” and a crew of Disney-created space characters. During their journey, the group uses the power of dance, light and music to turn a colorless planet into a world of color and happiness.

Now you have the chance to hit the beach with Mickey and friends at this new character dining option at Disney’s Paradise Pier® Hotel at the Disneyland® Resort in California.  The famed Pacific Coast Highway along California’s golden coast is the inspiration behind Disney’s PCH Grill. With fresh, California-inspired cuisine served in a beach-themed atmosphere, this colorful restaurant offers a sun-filled family dining experience.

The newly themed restaurant not only features a standard kids’ buffet with such favorites as pancakes, waffles and bacon, but also includes some delicious choices for adults including breakfast flatbreads from the wood-burning oven, grilled breast of chicken with roasted garlic sauce, and the signature chilaquiles with shredded beef, salsa verde and queso fresco.

In addition to the food, there are some really fun experiences for kids that set this character breakfast apart from the rest. It’s the only place at the Disneyland® Resort where you can dine with Mickey Mouse. Snap photos, practice hula hooping and hang ten with some of your favorite Disney Characters!

Of course, Disney’s PCH Grill isn’t the only place you can dine with the Characters. At the Disneyland Hotel®, you can find Goofy and his pals at Goofy’s Kitchen, and look for Chip ‘n’ Dale at Storytellers Cafe in Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel®& Spa. Character dining experiences can also be found in the parks. What is your favorite character meal?
