Hiya, Laura!
Welcome to planDisney!
Character dining is one of my favorite ways to meet our magical friends, and
Goofy’s Kitchen is a great choice! I’ll be happy to help with your question.
While the
dining reservation system allows you to book up to 20 guests under a single reservation, it’s often tough to find availability for that party size. I completely understand why you do not want to split your party, but I do not want you all to miss out on the magic of Goofy’s Kitchen! My pal
Bev is an expert at booking reservations for large parties. Her
recommended strategy is to split the group into manageable parties of around 4-5 people each.
I took a look at the reservation calendar for Goofy’s Kitchen and found that you may be able to expand your split party size to 6. That way, you could book two separate reservations rather than three. If you cannot reserve all parties for the same time, try booking them for back-to-back time slots. Please keep in mind that availability is subject to change at any time.
Once you arrive, speak with a Cast Member at the host stand to ask if your parties can be seated next to each other or nearby. Cast Members always try their best to accommodate.
Laura, I hope this information was helpful and that you all have a wonderful experience at Goofy’s Kitchen! If you need any additional help planning your vacation, please come back and see us again here at planDisney.
Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Karmeen
