So glad you took James to Goofy's for his birthday! I heard you guys say you've been to Storytellers but not the character breakfast. But I was gonna say, if you love breakfast food (I know you love those Mickey waffles), I think Goofy's breakfast/brunch is way better than dinner!! So definitely do that next time!! I've been to Goofy's a couple of times recently and Storyteller's as well, though it's been over 5 yrs since we've been to Storyteller's. It definitely wasnt as lively as Goofy's.. but it makes sense that it would feel more upscale to match the vibe of the Grand Californian. They didnt do any of that fun stuff with the characters parading around as you twirl your towels. Also, their characters are more critter based so Mickey & Minnie weren't even there but Chip & Dale were. Also, they are great with food allergies! They can have the chef come out and walk you through the buffet to let you know what's safe for you to eat. We requested vegan desserts for the kids and they brought a whole plate variety! Unfortunately it was for the palate of an adult 🤪 Character dining is a great way to guarantee meeting the classic characters all in one place and not having to wait in line! My kids definitely loved it! But it's def a splurge 🤑

I’m SO glad you guys finally made it to a character dining! We’ve done all three (and me and my youngest two kids have done the princess breakfast) and we loved goofy’s kitchen. It’s such a fun party environment. I would add to say that character dining is a great way to have some Disney in your trip if you don’t go to the parks. Our last trip we drove to San Diego and on our way back we stopped in Anaheim and did downtown Disney and finished at Goofy’s kitchen. It’s a great way to have a little Disney magic if a trip to the parks isn’t in the budget

Love Goofy's kitchen. Went for dinner once with family about 5 years ago, and wasn't a huge fan, but seeing what y'all had for offerings I think I need to go back. However, I absolutely love their Breakfast options. It's one of those things we do when we can afford it. We went back last year and I have to say, as someone with a dairy sensitivity, they're sorbet was delicious !It was a strawberry sorbet that you could tell was made fresh.

We went a few weeks ago in June for our daughter’s birthday and I agree with almost all of the video’s opinions. We enjoyed it - but it did not live up to our expectations. 1st the atmosphere of the buffet is fun and the entrance with Goofy but the dining space feels cafeteria like. It’s a big restaurant and doesn’t really “feel” like a typical Disney themed space. 2nd You seemed to have a lively server but ours and those around us felt tired and try hard. Everyone seemed to be celebrating their Birthday and the song and lack of enthusiasm by the cast was obvious. 3rd We had lots more character visits than it seems you did. We had lots of visits! 4th Kids love it and it’s a great opportunity for them to start with desert and eat like a kid! I loved the Samores and PB&J Pizza - that’s the best part of Goofy’s Kitchen. 5th Getting there especially with the construction really feels like you have walked forever and left the park. We cheated in through the Hotel Gate but it is a big walk from either park. Great Review - we need to sponsor more like this! 🎉

Minnie came by twice before Chip, and then Chip got called away right before he reached our table and then he never came back after the dance song. So we missed out on him. So yeah, we only got visits from 3 characters in total. As you said nearly everybody was having a birthday. At least 75% of the table.

How are Disneyland crowds during the week this summer? We plan to go on 7/24 with park-hopper and possibly Genie, but I'm not sure since at Disneyland you can only book upon entry if not staying at a Disney resort 😢 With that being said, do you think the difference is noticeable enough to go? & we are staying at Hotel Burbank so not close...

@@simpleandsweetshares2174 you can pre-purchase Genie+ without staying on property. You just have to do it at the point of purchasing your ticket. But Disneyland goers don’t use it as much as WDW so don’t worry. There’s plenty of availability and it does not run out early. There’s no 7 AM booking here. No one, on property or not, can book a reservation until they are physically scanned into the park. I think you’ll be fine and will have an awesome visit all the same.

@@simpleandsweetshares2174 Just one heads up, though. The day you are coming is the first day Genie+ is renamed as Lightning Lane Multi Pass. So there’ll be all new terminology. Same thing, but you’ll be looking at different wording on the app.

Honestly, it looked like generic buffet food which is a little disappointing considering the price!

$200 for not a luxury meal or experience is so crazy. Youd get fineee dining for that in the uk. Hahaa

Tell me about it. There's a reason we haven't done it up until now. I just can't justify the cost when I can get a perfectly good meal for my whole family in the park for under $50. Hawaii is worse. Even their "quick service" is $80+ for a family of 4.

Plaza Inn is a great character breakfast. The food is the food, but some great character interactions with Chip & Dale and also Tigger when I visited. Plan on doing Goofy's Kitchen during my visit. I'm staying at the Discovery Tower, I hope I don't get lost finding it.

We always used to go to goofys kitchen until they opened storytellers, now we go there. The food is better and no reason to walk all the way over to the dl hotel for inferior food.

For the price it doesnt appear like the food selection is worth it. Seems like youre mostly paying for the character meets and even then only having 4 or 5 there doesnt make it seem worthwhile. Especially since you can run into more in Fantasy Land typically.

We thought all the main food was phenomenal. It looked great. Good selection. Very delicious. The only things we DIDN'T get were the basic American fare like chicken, pizza, and mac 'n cheese. If that's all you're interested in, this is definitely not the restaurant for you. McDonald's outside the park is much more affordable.
