We took our daughter here for her 7th b-day, and she loved it. We went here for dinner and had the first reservation at 5pm. The food was hot and good. My daughter loved the food, and the interaction between her and the characters were great. The characters make an appearance at each table, and if for some reason you get skipped, just make sure to let the waiter know and he will make sure they come by. The food here is nothing that you wouldn't expect to see on a standard buffet. The quality is good, and I would recommend this place, especially for children.

There are so many characters! They are everywhere! Oh my! What ever will we do! Just kidding. It is a great place for the whole family whether you go for dinner or breakfast the fun never stops...I mean never!!

We had breakfast there, which can be a pricey endeavor if you don't have kids that will fawn over the Disney characters that make visits to each table. The breakfast buffet is good, not spectacular, but with enough variety to satisfy everyone.

Chef Mickey's is located in the Contemporary Resort and is easily accessible by monorail from the Magic Kingdom.

Chef Mickey's offers a character breakfast and dinner, both of which are buffets. The characters are of the classic kind: Goofy, Donald, Pluto, Minnie, and the main mouse himself, Mickey.

I have never eaten the dinner buffet, but I can tell you that the breakfast buffet is fantastic. There are MANY delicious options, and you can fill up on as many as you like! There is absolutely something for everyone here.

For obvious reasons, kids will absolutely LOVE this place. It is one of the best character dining experiences in WDW. Definitely make reservations for this one.

Chef Mickey's is a character buffet that serves both breakfast and dinner. The restaurant, which is one of the bright spots of the Contemporary, features the classic Disney characters: Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Chip and Dale. The buffet is widely regarded as the best overall character buffet, and it probably is. The character breakfasts in Disney usually will serve very similar items, including eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and the famous Mickey Waffles, but each restaurant will serve something unique.

Dinner is different. There will be some similarities to other buffets, but they will usually offer their own unique food. Chef Mickey's is no exception. The food here is more down-to-earth and kid-friendly than some of the other buffets. Usually two kinds of pasta dishes are served, with two kinds of meats (usually prime rib and ham) and potatoes. There will also be a couple of other dishes that vary, along with a full salad bar and usually two soups. The kid's buffet is also pleasing to the appetite: macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, mini hot dogs, and chicken fingers (they are the ones served in the parks and probably the best value considering you pay almost $7 for three in the parks). There is also a dessert buffet that features several cakes, puddings, cookies, sugar free desserts, and a make-your-own sundae station.

Do not let the price scare you away (children: $9 breakfast/$11 dinner; adults: $17 breakfast/ $26 dinner), as the character buffets are probably the best value at Disney. Not only do you get to dine with and get pictures and autographs from the characters, but you also get an excellent all-you-can-eat buffet (the buffets at Disney probably have the best food and the nicest atmosphere of any buffet in Orlando, and probably Florida). When you consider what you would pay per person at a regular sit-down restaurant in Disney ($15 to $30 for adults and $10 to $20 for children), the buffet really makes sense, and trust me, it will be much more memorable than going to the food court or a regular restaurant in Disney or elsewhere.

As far as Chef Mickey's goes, it is the best character buffet in Disney and the most kid-friendly, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Call 407/WDW-DINE for priority seating (this is not a reservation; it simply reserves your place in line). At Chef Mickey's, priority seating is an absolute must, although it is not required. Call as soon as possible to make arrangements and do not be surprised if the only thing available is at 8or 9pm, because the restaurant is extremely popular.
