    There seems to be no availability for Goofy's Kitchen or StoryTellers Cafe during my stay. It is within my 60 day slot. Is it sold out or just not available yet because of the holiday offerings with each venue, and those aren't in the system?

    Hello again, Tom, and welcome back to planDisney!

    It's certainly a pleasure to see you here again with another question! I'm happy to know that you're keeping track of the countdown to your magical Disneyland Resort vacation. Once you hit that 60 day mark, things get real! Sometimes, though, even when we're diligent and staying on top of everything, technology might have different plans for us. Older Disney fans like me blame the Master Control Program while the younger ones point the finger at Stitch.

    Tom, I think your theory is a bullseye shot fired from Hawkeye's Bow. According to the Disney Parks Blog, both Goofy's Kitchen and Storytellers Cafe will be switching over to a new seasonal menu beginning on November 19, 2024. Goofy will be celebrating the Holidays at his restaurant whereas Mickey and his pals will be holding a breakfast and brunch Pajama Party at Storytellers Cafe. In our experience, reservations for these special events can lag behind even into the 60 day window as the Disney chefs prepare their offerings. 

    My best recommendation would be to pay attention to the Disney Parks Blog and check back for reservations frequently, similar to my friend Tishra's advice in a previous answer. Sometimes, they'll make a formal announcement regarding when reservations will become available and, when they do, they'll usually go quite quickly. 

    Did you see that Tiana's Bayou Adventure will be opening alongside the Holiday Season on November 15, 2024? You might get to be among some of the first Guests to experience this attraction! Grab a beignet and a mint julep for me!

    Tom, as always it is our honor to be able to assist you and I wish you a truly magical vacation to The Happiest Place on Earth. Good luck on getting those reservations and, like Hawkeye, shoot us another question anytime!

    Have a Magical Day!

Meet the Panelist: Al, California

Ahoy there from the heart of Steinbeck Country in central California! I've been visiting the Disneyland Resort since childhood and fell in love with the sense of absolute immersion that the Imagineers have achieved. My favorite attraction is Pirates of the Caribbean because where else can you go from a California day to an evening boat ride in the bayou with "salty old pirates"? I'm a veterinarian and an all-around Disney geek and enthusiast. I'd love to help you plan your next Disneyland trip! Learn More About Al
