About Chef Mickey's

The classic Fab Five character buffet, set on the Contemporary's concourse with the monorail gliding overhead and views toward Bay Lake. Mickey and his pals visit every table, and each table receives an autographed card. Breakfast covers waffles, eggs and omelets, while dinner adds ribs, salmon and a dessert spread. A great first character meal for young kids meeting the core characters.

Characters: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto

How hard is it to get a table?

Hard to book

Chef Mickey's is hard to book, especially at peak times and popular meal slots. Cancellations do come up regularly, particularly in the last couple of weeks before the date.

Tips for getting a table

  • Breakfast is the more popular meal; dinner is often easier to book and is character-identical.
  • It's a short walk from Magic Kingdom, so a late breakfast slot works well before afternoon park time.
  • The room is loud and busy, with characters sometimes leading napkin-waving celebrations.
