Meredith, you were just over on my Trip Report, right? I don't know if you were able to skim through all the pages (not to read, but just to look at all the pictures), but I have a lot of Goofy's Kitchen pictures in there, dating all the way back to 1992 and up through December of last year. So you can get an idea of what characters are there and who used to be there.
Anyway, yes, as Michele said, they have a really great buffet. It is not cheap by any means, but the variety of choices is impressive. Even the pickiest of eaters can be satisfied. The quality of the food is good, too. I prefer the breakfast/brunch over the dinner - because it is cheaper as Michele said, but also just because I like the options better. Their first seating is usually at 7:00 a.m. so it wouldn't conflict with your park time. They have everything from the standard eggs, bacon, potatoes (which are all delicious) deal to lox, pizza (both the P, B and J and cheese/pepperoni), worms and dirt, frozen yogurt with toppings, mini muffins, cinnamon rolls, mini donuts, mini Mickey waffles, YUMMY and fresh fruit that is so sweet and delectable it makes me wonder what they did to it, Mickey-shaped cobbler, biscuits and gravy, croissants, bananas Foster crepes, chicken, etc., etc. Tons of stuff to choose from.
The typical characters you might see at Goofy's these days are the regulars, which are Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale and Baloo. The 'guest stars' who rotate weeks include Alice and the Mad Hatter, Aurora and the Prince, Jasmine and Aladdin, Belle, sometimes Minnie, etc. It tends to be busier later in the morning and in the evening, but the slower it is in the early morning, the more the characters come back to your table to visit with you or the longer they spend. Character meals are not for everyone because of the money and the fact that not everyone likes to interact with characters that much, but IF you are up for that sort of thing, Goofy's would be a fun way to start off.
Okay, we won't dwell on the booze! We don't want you to get a bad reputation on DIS. (But yes, stick with Rainforest for the frou-frou drinks!
)
