Holidays at Goofy's Kitchen Review
We had the opportunity to try brunch for Holidays at Goofy's Kitchen, and we will take you through a review of our experience with photos and what you can expect!
We arrived and checked in at 10:30 am, then we were called to be seated at 10:45 am. While waiting to be called, you can get in line to meet Goofy dressed in holiday attire and take photos with him! PhotoPass photographers are at the location ready to take photos, and all of these are included in the cost of your meal. You can see Goofy all dressed up with his super festive background below!
Once seated, we were promptly greeted by our server and offered water, juice, and coffee. Then, after getting our drinks, we headed over to the buffet.
We were there for brunch, and there was a full breakfast bar, make-your-own omelet bar, cereal bar, fruit bar, salad bar, and pastry bar.
There were some holiday-themed treats and foods offered, such as holiday cupcakes, maple-glazed pork belly benedict with butternut hollandaise sauce, and pancakes with powdered sugar, syrup, and cookie-butter icing.
You can see some of the breakfast offerings like bacon, sausage, eggs, and more below. There were also traditional brunch offerings like Mickey waffles and pancakes as well.
The characters would parade around to music twice an hour, which added an extra element of fun to the atmosphere! Characters would stop at each table and spend time with guests. This is a big reason why we love Character Dining meals so much, as they give you this great quality time with characters. See Minnie in her adorable holiday outfit below!
Overall, the atmosphere was very fun, joyful, and festive! See fun details like holiday pictures of classic characters on the wall:
When you attend the holiday character dining meal, you get a commemorative pin to take home with you, which you can see below. Tax and gratuity are included with your bill.
