Gawrsh, Alyse! Welcome to planDisney, where we are
Goofy with excitement to answer your great Goofy’s Kitchen planning question.
Goofy’s Kitchen is one of my favorite Character Dining experiences. I took my nephew last year and the character interactions made his whole visit. I love that you want to celebrate your son’s birthday with all the fun and yum that Goofy’s Kitchen brings. The reason you are not seeing any reservations and the website says enjoy through April 1, 2026 is most likely because Goofy’s Kitchen is preparing to switch to a springtime theme. If that is the case, you can expect garden themed costumes and décor that will make the whole experience feel fresh as a daisy. I would keep an eye on both
Disney Parks Blog and the Disneyland website for announcements, which could pop up any day. Goofy tends to keep things playful, so sometimes these updates appear right when you least expect them.
Alyse, have you heard about the other new experience coming to Disneyland Resort this spring?
Bluey’s Best Day Ever! premieres March 22, 2026 and it is sure to be a fun and energetic show filled with games, music, and moments that invite the whole family to join in. I am visiting just after the premiere and it will absolutely be on my itinerary.
I hope this helps you as you plan your son’s birthday trip. Make sure you stop by
Guest Relations and pick up a birthday button for him. It makes the day even more magical when Cast Members and Guests call out cheerful birthday wishes.
Thank you for bringing your question to us at planDisney! Wishing many magical memories to you and your son on his special day. Please stop back by if you have any additional questions as you continue to plan.
