Disney Chef Mickey’s – Is it Worth It?

Sharing is caring!

One of the best Disney World Character Dining experiences is at Chef Mickey’s which is located in Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

Disney Chef Mickey’s Breakfast

Breakfast is served at Chef Mickey’s from 7am to 11.30am each day. It is a great chance to meet your Disney favorite characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Chip and Dale.

Selection of Freshly Cooked Omelets

The Chef Mickey Brunch was served from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. every day. This is a good option if you have gone early into Magic Kingdom park and want to take a break out for something to eat in the middle of the day.

It is easy to get out from Magic Kingdom on the monorail. You can either park hop or go back to Magic Kingdom after your Chef Mickey brunch.

The menu does change from time to time but here is a typical selection of what is on offer at Chef Mickey’s all you can eat dinner buffet. The menu does change, but here is an idea of what you can expect.

Selection of Soup and Salads

Carvery Table Items usually including Beef

Pluto’s Chicken
Chef Mickey’s Macaroni and Cheese

Chicken Tenders

Of course a buffet meal is mot complete without a great selection of desserts and you will certainly find something to tempt you at Chef Mickey’s.

The Peach Cobbler and the Bread and Butter Pudding are particular favorites. If you are feeling a little more health conscious there is a selection of Fresh Fruit available.

Will your family enjoy Chef Mickey’s? It is one of the most popular dining experiences and it is a great place to see your Disney characters.

It is conveniently located in the Contemporary Resort so you can even visit on a day when you don’t want to use a theme park entrance ticket but still be a part of the Disney magic. It is very popular (and can be pretty loud).

Be aware that it is likely there will be whole lot of young children there so don’t go to Chef Mickey’s expecting a quite, relaxing meal! But if you want good quality buffet food with some of the most popular characters in Disney World then Chef Mickeys is a great option!
