Welcome to planDisney, Kimberly!
How exciting that you'll be dining at
Goofy's Kitchen this Fall. I recently had the joy of taking my own family and we had such a wonderful time. My kids loved every second! The food is also really good too! I ate WAY too much. But I don't regret it.
Currently, the characters at Goofy's Kitchen are still on a moderated schedule. When you first arrive, you'll be able to say "hi" to Goofy in his show kitchen. You can even give him a big hug (I think my son hugged him for about 4 hours straight) and get a memorable photo by the
Disneyland Photopass photographer. When you sit down at your table, characters will dance around the restaurant every 20 minutes or so. When I went, the party included Goofy, Pluto, Minnie Mouse, and Chip 'n' Dale. They come right up to your table and even give you high fives. however, unfortunately, they still aren't stopping for pictures or signing autographs at the table. However, we still got some great pictures with them when they stopped by our table. So just make sure you've got your camera ready!
It's possible that things might change between now and your trip. Therefore, keep an eye on
Disney Parks Blog for any updates.
I hope that's helpful, Kimberly. Say "hi" to Goofy for me.
Mike
