• Dinner – $55 for adults, $36 for children ages 3-9 years.

Dining Experience

Since Chef Mickey’s is located inside of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the theming of the restaurant is similar to the resort itself. There is a fun 80’s vibe in the restaurant and it is very clean and put together.

Currently the traditional buffet has been modified to be a family style experience. Although this may seem not as attractive because you can’t get food at the pace you like, the servers are extremely attentive and will frequently check with you about what you need. It is also a bonus for those families that have younger children, since the food comes directly to your table and you won’t need to get up with busy hands to refill your plates.

The food is very good especially given the fact that it is buffet style food. While it might not be as fresh tasting as a dining location that cooks your food to order, since everything at Chef Mickey’s is prepared in bulk, the meal is always delicious and you will never leave hungry.

Guests can expect to see the Fab 5 when dining at Chef Mickey’s. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald will all make appearances bringing a ton of joy and magic to your dining experience. Due to adjustments in the dining experience, characters are not coming up to the table for autographs, but it is easy to snap some pictures of your favorite Fab 5 character while you eat. The experience is still absolutely magical, especially for young ones.

Let’s Eat!

Chef Mickey’s is definitely a character dining location that you will want to experience at least once. The characters and theming are a lot of fun and the food is delicious. Who doesn’t love Mickey waffles? No one that’s who. You will definitely pay a higher price for the character dining experience, but if you want to save a little bit of money, breakfast is a cheaper option.
