Hi there, Ali, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for bringing your question to us and how exciting to hear that you've got a trip to the Disneyland Resort coming up in a few short months! You'll even be visiting during my favorite time because the
Halloween Season officially kicks off on August 23, 2024, so you'll be immersed in fun, festive, and spooky decorations!
I'm glad that you've been diligent in booking your dining reservations 60 days in advance and I'm sorry that you haven't been able to reserve
Goofy's Kitchen. Last year, reservations for this venue were delayed a bit as Chef Goofy prepared some fun seasonal dishes for his Guests and I'm guessing that this is the case again. In fact, the
Disney Parks Blog recently posted a Halloween preview and said to prepare for some Festive Fare with a Halloween Twist! My recommendation would be to keep checking back for reservation availability as these will typically open up once the special seasonal menu is announced.
Goofy's Kitchen is one of my favorite places to dine and I had many fun character meals there with my parents when I was a child and now with my own kids. It's a staple for us and I love being able to stroll the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel afterwards, admiring what they've done with the property and waxing nostalgic about what I remembered as a child. As you make your way back to the Parks through Downtown Disney District, there's a fun scavenger hunt called
Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit you can do for a fun side quest! There's a small fee to join, but you get a souvenir keepsake at the end whether you find them all or not.
Ali, I wish you the best as you continue to plan your vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth! Please write back to us if you have any more questions because you're always welcome at planDisney and we'd love to hear from you. Happy planning!
Wishing you a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
