Hi, Shawn!
Thanks so much for sending your question to us at Disney Parks Moms Panel!
The start of your upcoming vacation is going to be a truly magical one--well planned!
Chef Mickey's is one of my family's favorite buffets in all of
Walt Disney World. There is something super-special about delicious dining hosted by The Big Cheese himself, so the first day of your trip will be off to a beautiful beginning.
When you arrive at
Disney's Contemporary Resort, just tell the security guard at the gate that you are there for your dining reservation. If you have a MagicBand, the guard will scan your Band to pull up your reservation, so have that handy. Park in the lot that is directly in front of The Contemporary, then head in through the lobby and up to the Concourse level using either the escalator or the elevator.
Don't forget to sample the iconic Mickey Waffles among the other delicious fare Chef Mickey has prepared for his Guests. You'll be fueled up for a day of fun, setting your stay up with a stupendous start!
Have a magical vacation, Shawn; be sure to send us more questions as you think of them, too. We love to help!
