Hi Will!
Happy New Year! I hope you've had a wonderful 2016, and are looking forward to an exciting, fun-filled 2017.
Our favorite place to enjoy New Year's Day Dinner at the Walt Disney World Resort is at
Chef Mickey's, located in
Disney's Contemporary Resort. Chef Mickey is busy in the kitchen on New Year's Day, preparing all kinds of seasonal and holiday favorites, including black eyed peas and collard greens/cabbage! The buffet is also full of all the regular offerings, which includes something for everyone - even finicky eaters.
Chef Mickey's New Year's Day Dinner is offered on January 1st from 11:45 AM to 9:30 PM. Not only will you feast on delicious food, but you'll also have a chance to interact with some of your favorite Disney Characters. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto have all been known to stop by and visit with guests for hugs and photo ops.
If this answer doesn't reach you in time for this New Year's Day, please keep Chef Mickey's in mind for next year!
Happy 2017 - may the coming year bring you magical moments and beautiful memories. - Diane W.
