Hi there, Julie! Welcome back to planDisney. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by with your question. I see that you have an upcoming trip planned to the Happiest Place on Earth in just a few short months. It is truly such a magical way to kick off the new year. My family and I love dining at Goofy’s Kitchen inside the
Disneyland Hotel. It is such a unique dining experience that allows you to interact with fun characters like Chip, Minnie, and Pluto! Let’s see how many people we can get in your party to enjoy all that Goofy’s Kitchen has to offer.
When you click ‘Reserve Dining’ on the
Disneyland Mobile App or click ‘Make Reservations’ on the
Disneyland Resorts website, you’ll be immediately prompted to answer how many people (including infants) are in your party. This number can range from 1-20. While the maximum party size is 20 Guests, reservations made through the app or website currently allow up to 10 Guests per reservation to move forward in selecting a preferred timeslot.
Reservations for parties larger than 10 Guests can be a bit more challenging, since most table-service restaurants are not designed to accommodate larger dining parties together, especially at one singular table. But fear not! I can help you arrange your dining reservation, so your party has the best chance to enjoy the meal together with Goofy and his friends.
My suggestion is to divide your party into smaller groups by making separate reservations of 3 or 4 Guests around the same dining time, or within 10–15 minutes of each other. When you arrive at the host stand, you can let the Cast Member know that you’d like your parties seated together. If there’s enough table space, the Cast Member will do their best to seat your parties together. If your parties can’t be seated together, you can still enjoy seeing each other while grabbing a slice of Peanut Butter and Jelly Pizza, as it’s served buffet style. Don’t forget to snap a group photo with Goofy before heading into the dining room to commemorate your character dining experience!
Julie, I hope this was helpful to you as you continue planning your upcoming visit. If you have any more questions before then,
planDisney is always here to help!
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
