Hi there, Lori!
With Mother's Day morning upon us, I saw your question and wanted to jump right on it in case you are heading into the parks today with a reservation at
Goofy's Kitchen, which I have to say is one of my favorite character experiences on property!
I do know that Goofy himself loves to host Guests at his namesake restaurant! There is a really fun photo op right after you check in for your reservation where you will get to interact with the chef himself, take photos, and make some very magical memories. In terms of the other endearing characters you will meet and greet, this is always a fun surprise. In the past, we have gotten hugs from Minnie, Chip, Dale, and Pluto. While these are all subject to change, in my experience, it is usually a cast of these classic characters rather than Disney princesses, etc. What I can guarantee is that you will have a magical time with whoever does make an appearance! The energy at Goofy's Kitchen is like none other, so while you dine on a delicious buffet, expect lively music and lots of dancing in your seat!
I hope this is helpful, Lori! While you're at the
Disneyland Hotel, be sure to stop by the lobby to get a cute picture in the teacup chairs. This is one of my family's favorite photo ops outside of the parks!
If you have any more questions, please come back to see us again soon here at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
