Welcome to planDisney, Mike! I'm glad you found us and asked your question. We are always happy to help Guests make magic on their next Disney vacation!
Advanced dining reservations at the
Disneyland Resort can be made up to 60 days in advance. While most reservations go live 60 days before your dining date, not all will be available at that time. This is likely what is happening with
Goofy's Kitchen at the
Disneyland Hotel during the first week of December. Kindly check back from time to time as your vacation draws nearer to see if availability opens up!
The Disneyland Resort during the holidays is nothing short of spectacular. I was there last year at this time of year and my favorites were the
Haunted Mansion Holiday and
"it's a small world" Holiday, both in
Disneyland Park. Talk about experiences that get you immediately into the holiday spirit! And then there's the
Disney Festival of Holidays at
Disney's California Adventure Park, which runs from November 10, 2023, to January 7, 2024 this year. The
Festive Foods Marketplace at this festival has some of the best seasonal offerings at the resort in my opinion. While I won't be able to visit this year, I can't wait to experience it again in the future!
Mike, always keep in mind that there are other
character dining experiences available throughout the resort in case you aren't able to secure a spot in Goofy's Kitchen. If you have any other questions,
please reach out and I'll see what magic I can help you make!
I can’t help but be happy during the holiday season,
Matt
