Plot

Goofy leaves his playhouse in Mickey's Toontown and checks into Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. After being woken up by an alarm clock the next morning, he goes to the hotel's spa, and marks everywhere he wishes to go on a map of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

Goofy then goes on Gadget's Go Coaster in Mickey's Toontown, hesitantly meets Cinderella in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, goes on Autotopia in Tomorrowland, eats various meals at a restaurant, goes to the swimming pool at the Disneyland Hotel, takes pictures while riding the Golden Zephyr in Paradise Pier, buys various souvenirs at the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney, and concludes the night by watching World of Color at Paradise Bay. Goofy returns to the hotel and after checking off some of the things on his plan, Goofy goes to sleep, only to be woken by the alarm clock.
