Hello Colleen!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with an excellent question!
All Guests are welcome to
make dining reservations at restaurants located throughout the Walt Disney World Resort, even visitors who are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel.
Chef Mickey’s is a very popular restaurant located inside iconic
Disney’s Contemporary Resort, so not only is it possible to make advanced dining reservations, but they are also highly recommended. The most convenient way to make reservations is by using the
My Disney Experience mobile app, but you can also book online or call (407) 939-3463.
Colleen, if you are driving to Disney’s Contemporary Resort for your reservation at Chef Mickey’s, please know that you can enjoy complimentary parking for the duration of your meal. If you are also going to visit Magic Kingdom Park on the same day, then you should park at the theme park parking lot and take the monorail to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. After your meal you will only have to take a short 5-minute walk to park entrance.
I hope this helps you while planning! Please come back to visit us real soon with more questions.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
