Friday Food - Chef Mickey's

 

Restaurant: Chef Mickey's

Character Meal? Yes, Chef Mickey & friends will make the rounds to meet & greet guests dining here

Difficulty to Reserve: VERY.  The breakfast seems to be more popular than the dinner but both will book up prior to the day of so it's always smart to make reservations as far in advance as possible.
Perks? Tax is included but gratuity is not.
Why so special?  Chef Mickey's is only one of the few places you can meet the Fab Five while dining.  This cuts down on having to wait in line during your park time not to mention the fabulous interaction you get with these characters.  They also do a fun celebration where they wave napkins in the air and dance around.  Kids and adults love it!  Before you enter the restaurant, you will have the opportunity to get your picture taken as a family.  During your meal, someone will come around with your photos and you will have the option to purchase them.  If you have already purchased the "Photopass Plus" option, then you'll receive these photos free of charge (a great reason to look into the Photopass Plus, I highly recommend it!) 
Personal Experience: I have been here for breakfast and we had a fantastic time.  I was celebrating my birthday and they gave us a window seat along with confetti on the table and I got a special cupcake for dessert.  Mickey spent extra time at our table as well.  The food was great.  There is a lot to choose from.  They have fresh fruits, cereals, casseroles, breakfast pizza and of course, Mickey waffles.
