For those of you looking to do a character meal I highly recommend Chef Mickey’s. It’s located in the Contemporary Hotel right off the Monorail. To avoid a long wait you’ll want to make a reservation and make it early as they book up fast.
We arrived at the restaurant a little early so we played some games at the hotel arcade and then took a quick ride on the monorail. The monorail is free to ride and connects several of the hotels and theme parks. To make a complete circle on the monorail takes about 20 minutes.
Since Chef Mickey’s is a character meal it’s going to be more expensive than other dining experiences. The food is served buffet style but there is a wide variety of options to choose from. Our bill was a little over $100 for the 3 of us, but you are guaranteed to meet all the main characters, get their autographs and pictures, and the best part is you don’t have to try to find them throughout the theme parks. We thought that alone made Chef Mickey’s worth the cost!
