Hi Sarah! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
I'm sorry you were disappointed this morning in your attempt to snag the perfect dining reservation. While many dining locations open their reservations at the Disneyland Resort 60 days out, they don't always. Without an official announcement, it is hard to say why
Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel isn't yet available. However, if we take a look at previous years, we can guess it might be related to some festive plans they're cooking up in time for the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. Let's hope that's it!
Right now, Goofy's Kitchen has been transformed for the spooky season, offering themed buffet items, decor, music, and Characters decked out in Halloween-inspired costumes. Plus, Guests receive a Halloween button! It makes an already iconic Character Dining Experience that much more special. It could be Goofy's Kitchen will undergo a similar festive transformation for the Holidays.
I suggest you keep checking! And in the meantime, be aware there are additional
Character Dining Experience choices. They're all a fantastic way to meet your favorite Characters in a relaxing and fun atmosphere while enjoying a delicious meal. Storytellers Cafe in the beautiful Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is a good alternative, which offers a Character Dining Experience buffet at breakfast and brunch. If you have a park ticket and theme park reservation, you might try the Plaza Inn's breakfast Character Dining Experience.
I hope this helps!
