Dates and Details Revealed for Holiday Character Dining at Disneyland

We should be enjoying the spooky season, but it’s hard when Disney keeps getting us excited for the holidays! We can just imagine strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. with a festive treat in hand, taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells that the holidays at Disney Parks have to offer.

We love visiting the Disney Parks during the holiday season because of all the Christmas cookies, the holiday music, and special meets with Santa Claus. We’ve been putting together our Christmas plans lately, and now it’s time to get those calendars out once again, because meal dates at the Disneyland Resort and info have officially dropped.

We finally have the dates and info for holiday meals at three popular Disneyland Resort restaurants: Storytellers Cafe and Goofy’s Kitchen. They’ll both offer great holiday experiences again, with fun themes, characters, and more.

Storytellers Cafe

From November 16th through January 3rd, 2027, Storytellers Cafe will offer Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast and Daisy’s Holiday Pajama Party. The Pajama Party is going to feature Daisy, Donald, Pluto, Chip, and Dale all in their festive pajama outfits for breakfast and brunch.

Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast is a dinner inspired by the iconic Christmas classic, Mickey’s Christmas Carol. It’ll see Minnie Mouse, Clarabelle, Goofy as Jacob marley, Mickey as Bob Cratchit, and of course, Ebenezer Scrooge. You can book your holiday meals at Storytellers Cafe starting October 1st, 2026.

Also from November 16th through January 3rd, 2027, Goofy’s Kitchen will offer festive breakfast, brunch, and dinner buffets to celebrate the holidays at the Disneyland Resort. It doesn’t have as exciting meals as Storytellers Cafe, but it does have the usual seasonal changes with festive outfits for the characters. It’ll feature Goofy, Minnie, Chip, Dale, and Pluto.

Just like Storytellers Cafe, you can book your holiday meal starting October 1st, 2026. These are both popular dining destinations during Christmas time, so we wouldn’t wait too long to find a date and get it on the schedule.

Goofy’s Kitchen

There’s so much more coming for the holiday celebration at Disneyland Resort. Overlays will be available for “it’s a small world” and Haunted Mansion. There will also be exclusive holiday snacks around the parks, special meet-and-greets, entertainment, gorgeous decorations, and more.
