If you’re heading to Disneyland this spring, there’s a character dining experience you’ll definitely want to squeeze into your schedule—because Goofy’s Kitchen is throwing a spring party, and it’s shaping up to be something special.
Located at the Disneyland Hotel, Goofy’s Kitchen is already a must-do for many families. It’s a buffet-style meal where you’re not just grabbing waffles or mac and cheese—you’re doing it while Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto swing by your table to say hello. The food’s got a fun twist too. Breakfast brings Mickey-shaped pancakes, while dinner has Goofy’s signature Goofyroni & Cheese that’s basically comfort food at its finest.
But from April 3 through May 9, Goofy’s Kitchen is stepping it up a notch with a brand-new event called “Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates Springtime!” The characters will be sporting bright and cheerful spring-themed outfits, and the whole dining space will get a colorful seasonal makeover. The best surprise? Clarabelle Cow is back! She’s been missing from the regular lineup for a while, so her return is big news for fans.
Clarabelle will be joining the usual gang for breakfast and dinner during the springtime event, and it’s the perfect chance for those one-of-a-kind photos with a rare character. Plus, the seasonal theme means there’s extra magic in the air—decorations, special interactions, and maybe even a few unique surprises we don’t know about yet.
And if your Disneyland trip happens to land in May, there’s another reason to get excited. On May 10 and 11, Goofy’s Kitchen will host a Mother’s Day brunch and dinner buffet to celebrate all the moms out there. Details about which characters will be on hand for the occasion haven’t been released, but considering how Disney usually does these events, it’s probably going to be pretty sweet.
Reservations for both the spring event and Mother’s Day meals open on April 3, and with all these added touches, they’re likely to go fast. Goofy’s Kitchen is already one of the most popular dining reservations at Disneyland Resort, and with Clarabelle returning and seasonal overlays coming into play, it’s safe to say tables will be in high demand.
If you’ve never been to Goofy’s Kitchen before, it’s a great choice for guests of all ages. Kids love the chance to hang out with the characters in a more relaxed environment than the parks, and grown-ups get to enjoy a pretty hearty meal in a fun atmosphere. Plus, being inside the Disneyland Hotel means it’s just a short stroll from the parks—or a nice break in the middle of your Disney day.
So whether you’re a Disneyland regular or making your first trip, this spring might be the perfect time to visit Goofy’s Kitchen. With festive décor, returning characters, and that special Disney touch, it’s not just a meal—it’s part of the magic.
