Greetings Melissa,
Thank you for writing us your question here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You're going to have a wonderful time exploring the Disneyland Resort!
We love
Goofy's Kitchen, which is located at the Disneyland Hotel. I'm not sure which off-site hotel you are staying at, but I can give you some general guidance. The Disneyland Hotel is located at the end of Downtown Disney District. To get to Downtown Disney District, you will need to get to Disneyland Drive. Katella Avenue is a connecting street to this.
If you are staying on S. Harbor Blvd. near the entrance of Disneyland Park, you can walk across the street (like you are going to visit Disneyland Park) but continue onto Downtown Disney District through the bag check area. Follow the signs to the Disneyland Hotel, once there, you will see a sign for Goofy's Kitchen. When you enter the building, the excitement begins when you see our zany friend greeting Guests! Check in with one of the restaurant's Cast Members and your name will be called; Goofy will welcome you in the way only he knows how.
I hope this helps and that you enjoy your Disney Character Dining experience. Be sure to visit me again if you have any more questions about your vacation.
The Disneyland Resort must be explored! CA-CA! RAAWWRR!
