About Goofy’s Kitchen

Goofy’s Kitchen is the Disneyland Resort’s most beloved character dining experience, located inside the Disneyland Hotel. The restaurant is themed as Goofy’s own whimsical kitchen, with playful decor and a lively atmosphere that kids absolutely love. It has been a family tradition at the Disneyland Resort for decades.

The real draw is the character interactions. Goofy himself is the star, but he is joined by a rotating cast of Disney friends that may include Pluto, Chip, Dale, and other surprise visitors. Characters circulate through the dining room, stopping at tables for photos, autographs, and plenty of goofiness. Kids are often invited to participate in a fun parade around the restaurant.

The buffet format means everyone can find something they enjoy, and the variety is impressive — from classic breakfast favorites to more adventurous dinner options. It is particularly popular with families visiting during the fall and holiday season.

Goofy’s Kitchen operates as an all-you-care-to-eat buffet for both brunch and dinner.

Brunch

  • Goofy’s Famous Peanut Butter Pizza — the signature dish that kids go crazy for
  • Mickey-shaped waffles and pancakes
  • Made-to-order omelets
  • Carved meats and breakfast sausage
  • Fresh fruit and pastries
  • Scrambled eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes

Dinner

  • Carved prime rib and roasted meats
  • Pasta station with sauces
  • Fresh salads and seafood selections
  • Mac and cheese and chicken tenders for younger guests
  • Goofy’s dessert station with cupcakes, cookies, and seasonal treats

The peanut butter pizza is iconic — love it or laugh at it, it is a must-try.
