Hi there, William! Welcome back to planDisney. With a toddler in tow, there’s nothing I love more than a good old character dining meal, especially at
Goofy’s Kitchen. Whenever we find ourselves at The Happiest Place on Earth, my husband and I make sure that at least one of our meals is character dining. I’d love to help you with booking for your upcoming visit!
I understand you’ve been trying to figure out character dining for your upcoming spring visit. You are certainly correct that the blockout for Goofy’s Kitchen is temporary. Since January 7, 2026 and going through April 1, 2026, Good Morning Giggles and Brunch Belly Laughs is currently happening at the restaurant during breakfast and brunch, in addition to Disney Dinnertime Magic during dinner service.
The blockout in the month of April is due to the transformation that Goofy’s Kitchen goes through to become a celebration of springtime. Goofy and his friends dazzle in their best garden attire as they make their way throughout the buffet and visit Guests at their tables. With these festivities in place, Goofy’s Kitchen will offer a special springtime dining experience for breakfast, brunch, and dinner starting April 3, 2026.
Bookings will begin on February 24, 2026. Be sure to book when they open reservations, as spots tend to fill up quickly for this popular restaurant!
If you’re also interested in checking out other character dining options throughout the Disneyland Resort,
Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian is another favorite of mine! I’ve had the opportunity to dine there during breakfast and dinner recently, and the characters are nothing short of magical silliness that you’d also find at Goofy’s Kitchen. The great food choices kept my picky toddler going back for seconds and thirds!
William, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. I hope you have an amazing visit in April. I just know you’re going to have a blast feasting away on Peanut Butter and Jelly Pizza with Goofy and his friends very soon. If you need any more help in planning your upcoming visit, planDisney is always here for you!
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
Bev
