Welcome to planDisney, Teresa! Sounds like you have a very special visit to the Happiest Place on Earth coming up - and during the most magical time of the year. I'm so thrilled for you!
Thank you for your great question about Thanksgiving at Disneyland. While menus are always subject to change, there are usually many options for a traditional Thanksgiving meal at Disneyland Resort on Thanksgiving Day, including sit-down experiences at
Goofy's Kitchen and
Storytellers Cafe or quick service meals in the theme parks. While we don't have menus quite yet for quick service, last year there were delicious turkey meal options at
Carnation Cafe and
Plaza Inn in Disneyland Park and
Flo's V-8 Cafe and
Carthay Circle Restaurant in California Adventure Park. I would definitely check those out, Teresa, if you're in the park! You'll be able to see Thanksgiving Day menus for dining locations in the Disneyland app on the day of your visit. TIP: An easy way to find all of the locations at Disneyland Resort with turkey on the menu is to simply search in the
Disneyland app by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom, then type "turkey" into the search line at the top. Easy as (pumpkin) pie!
According to the Disneyland website, Goofy’s Kitchen will offer specially prepared Thanksgiving-inspired dishes alongside your favorite brunch and dinner favorites on November 27, 2025, including a carving station with herb-marinated turkey breast. Over at Storytellers Cafe you'll find a delightful Thanksgiving Day dinner beginning at 1:30pm which will include roasted turkey with sourdough apple stuffing and cranberry sauce. Yum! Book your Thanksgiving meal at
Goofy's Kitchen or
Storytellers Cafe starting October 9, 2025 - coming up soon! I recommend that you're ready to make your reservation early that morning, as these will be popular. As for Carnation Cafe and Carthay Circle Restaurant, you can make your Thanksgiving Day dining reservations now, as it is within 60 days before your visit. If you don't see your desired day or time, keep checking!
If you have a large group (over 8-10), Teresa, you may need to create two different dining reservations from two different Disney accounts, as some locations have a max on group size. Then, at check-in for your dining reservation, let the host know that your two groups are together.
Don't forget about the
Festive Food Marketplace - my favorite and no reservations are required! I love trying all the diverse eats and treats throughout California Adventure. It is a small world after all when you can enjoy holiday favorites from around the globe! Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for Foodie Guide announcements and a little rumbly in your tumbly.
I hope this has been helpful for you in your planning, Teresa, and that you and your loved ones have so much fun immersed in the Disneyland magic.
Warmest wishes,
McCayla
