Hi there, Alicia! Thank you so much for bringing your question to us, here at planDisney. We're a bunch of planners and problem solvers around here, so let's see if we can get you some answers for your upcoming visit to Disneyland Resort!
Gawrsh, I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble securing a dining reservation at
Goofy's Kitchen! Unfortunately, I'm seeing the same thing you are on both the Disneyland Resort
dining reservations page and in the
official Disneyland mobile app. While traditionally, Guests can make reservations for most table service dining locations up to 60 days in advance of their visit, you might notice that some dining locations don't always release their reservation availability right away, especially if there is a seasonal event or some other changes happening around the resort that could be affecting dining reservations. I'm not sure if this is the case, but I do recommend that you regularly check back on the
Goofy's Kitchen page as it will populate as soon as those reservations become available. I'm sorry I don't have more definitive information for you at this time and I know it must feel frustrating to not see the dining availability you might expect.
If you are still interested in
character dining experiences, my kids and I love to visit Mickey, Minnie, Chip and Dale, and more friends at
Storyteller's Cafe in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The Mickey's Tales of Adventure Breakfast or Brunch Buffet is a lovely experience with great character interactions. If a character meal is a high priority for your next visit, I might recommend making a reservation there while you wait for availability to open at Goofy's Kitchen during your travel dates. Then, you can always
cancel or modify your reservation, accordingly.
I hope this is at least a start, Alicia, and I'll be crossing my fingers that your next visit to Disneyland Resort is everything you could wish for! If we can lend any other personal advice or recommendations at any time, please don't hesitate to call on
planDisney again! It's always such an honor to help our fellow Guests plan the most magical memories with their loved ones.
Wishing you Wondrous Journeys,
Tishra
