Hello Susan, and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you are planning to bring your grandchildren to the "Most Magical Place on Earth"! I can imagine that you would like to plan some special experiences to make this a holiday to remember.
I have great news!
Character dining returns to Chef Mickey's beginning December 16, with an all-you-care-to-eat family-style menu that includes traditional breakfast favorites as well as a few new signature entrees. I can't wait to try Goofy’s Banana Bread French Toast -- it sounds amazing!
At this time,
Guests may make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance. Guests with a stay at a Disney Resort Hotel can make reservations up to 60 days in advance for the length of their stay, up to 10 days. The current price for
Chef Mickey’s Family Feast with Character Dining is $42 for ages 10 and up and $27 for ages 3 - 9, plus tax and gratuity. There is no charge for Guests age 2 and under. Prices are subject to change without notice.
Susan, I recommend keeping your eye on the
dining updates page. Prior to the temporary closure of Walt Disney World Resort, Guests could make dining reservations up to 180 days in advance. Currently, we do not know when or if the 60-day dining reservation window will change. With our current world conditions, so much has changed in the past year. I expect we may see additional operational updates in the year to come.
Please feel free to visit planDisney again with any additional questions you may have. We are always happy to help.
