Hi there, Melanie, and welcome to planDisney! Gawrsh, thank you so much for stopping by with this great question.
Character Dining at the Happiest Place on Earth is incredibly magical and I'm so thrilled to hear that you and your family have reservations for Goofy's Kitchen! My two young boys always have the time of their lives swinging their napkins around and eating ice cream for breakfast (or brunch) at
Goofy's Kitchen. (Who am I kidding, Melanie, I do too!)
I can understand why you'd want to make sure that there will be Disney Pals present for your dining experience at Goofy's Kitchen, Melanie, but you can rest assured that your Character Dining experience during the brunch hours will indeed include Goofy and his gang! In addition to special moments with the Characters, they'll also be gussied up in their merry best for the winter holidays on the date of your visit. It's going to be so magical, Melanie.
I actually prefer to make dining reservations for a late morning brunch too, Melanie, which ends up combining breakfast and lunch meals - a fantastic value for our family! The big meal also keeps my family pretty full until dinner. You made a great choice! For brunch you'll enjoy a bountiful buffet that includes all the mouthwatering menu items available for breakfast—plus a carving station with turkey breast and carved beef sirloin roast. It's the best of both worlds. I'm so excited for you and your family!
I hope this has been helpful for you in your planning, Melanie, and that you and your loved ones have so much fun immersed in the Disneyland magic. Say "hi" to Goofy for me!
Warmest wishes,
McCayla
