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.
