Hi Courtney! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Dining at
Chef Mickey's at
Disney's Contemporary Resort on our arrival day has long been a Disney vacation tradition in our family. My kids were always so excited to get hugs from Mickey and his pals soon after we arrived at our magical destination. We always capped off our meal with a ride on the
monorail (just for fun!) before heading to bed early to prepare for our visit to the Theme Parks the next morning.
I am happy to let you know Chef Mickey's does participate in the
Disney Dining Plan and currently requires 1 Table-Service entitlement per person for Breakfast, Brunch, or Dinner.
It is also very convenient to dine at Chef Mickey's on a day you'll be visiting
Magic Kingdom Park, since Disney's Contemporary Resort is just a short walk or monorail ride away.
There are several other
Character Dining experiences that currently require only 1 Table-Service entitlement as well, including the new
Storybook Dining at Artist Point.
I hope that helps! Please feel free to visit the Moms Panel again if you have any additional questions.
Have a wonderful vacation!
Anne Marie
