Today, we head to the west coast for a guest review of Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel. Let’s take a tour — courtesy of guest author, Liz Jostes.

For our family’s first trip to Disneyland, I booked breakfast at Goofy’s Kitchen. Since we were staying at the Disneyland Hotel and our flight home wasn’t until the afternoon, it was a perfect and convenient stop on our final morning on property.

Goofy’s Kitchen is located next to the pool area in the Disneyland Hotel, and a short, easy walk from the Downtown Disney District (for those not staying at the Disneyland Hotel).

Atmosphere

As you walk through the doors of Goofy’s Kitchen, you enter into a lobby and wait for your turn to check-in and pay for your meal (gratuity is automatically included). Then you are welcome to meet Goofy while waiting for your table.

We had 8AM breakfast reservations, and got to meet Goofy, Minnie, Chip, Dale, and Pluto while dining. Each character has their photo and kitchen title displayed in the meet & greet area.

Tip: Take photos yourself if you don’t want to pay for a photo package.

We were seated shortly after our photo session. We waited just a few minutes for our server to take our drink order, and then we headed to the breakfast buffet.

While we were eating, music came on, and Goofy and the gang paraded around the restaurant.

The characters visit all the tables, too, for photos and autographs. Everyone is dressed in their kitchen finest!

Because we visited Goofy’s Kitchen in mid-October, all the food stations were decorated for Halloween. Goofy’s Kitchen is very dimly lit, so I apologize for the dark photos.

Eats

The brunch buffet was set up in 4 areas:

– a pizza, nuggets, mac & cheese, cold cereal, griddle items, and dessert area

– a fresh fruit and soft serve ice cream area

– a cold cut, cold salad, sliced cheeses, smoked salmon, and oatmeal area

– and a made-to-order omelet station and hot food area

The fruit and soft serve area included grapes, strawberries, melon, watermelon, and bananas. You had the choice of vanilla or chocolate soft serve ice cream, 2 flavors of sauce, cones and cups, and then a few candy toppings.

The pizzas came with a few different combinations of toppings (pepperoni, cheese, Hawaiian), plus Goofy’s popular peanut butter and jelly pizza. My 9 year old gave that her seal of approval!

Overall

We all very much enjoyed our meals. The food was hot and flavorful, and you were provided a wide selection of options that’s sure to make everyone in your party very happy. We got in and out pretty quickly too – less than an hour!

Goofy’s Kitchen was a fun character experience with above average food. I’d definitely recommend it, and we’d definitely dine there again.

When in Disneyland, do you head to Goofy’s Kitchen for a buffet meal?
