Hey there, Graham! Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for visiting us with your question.
Gawrsh. I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having trouble securing your preferred date for dining at
Goofy's Kitchen next month. Sometimes Chef Goofy is busy concocting some exciting seasonal menu offerings before dining reservation availability can be released. In fact, we recently saw some news about Fall favorites returning to Disneyland Resort during Halloween Time, and
this Disney Parks Blog article specifically mentioned some festive offerings coming to Goofy's Kitchen during this time! So, while you are technically within the 60-day window to make your advanced dining reservation we might need to wait a bit longer to see this update to the seasonal Goofy's Kitchen experience. I highly suggest keeping a watch on the reservation availability over the next few days and weeks as more information may be forthcoming.
Graham, by now, you might have noticed that your visit coincides with many of the
Halloween Time celebrations around Disneyland Resort, kicking off August 23 through October 31 this year. I always love seeing the seasonal overlays on beloved park attractions, and I'm especially excited to see
Haunted Mansion Holiday this year! You may want to note that this attraction will only be available through a virtual queue, so be sure to keep this in mind as you continue making your plans. I hope this is a helpful start, Graham. If you have any other questions that come up, please don't hesitate to come back to
planDisney so we can help!
Happy Haunts,
Tishra
