Hi Jon,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I love
Chef Mickey's at
Disney's Contemporary Resort for a great meal and fun character experience. I think Brunch is an ideal time to experience this restaurant. It sounds like you will be using one of the convenient
Disney Dining Plans during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Chef Mickey's only requires one table-service entitlement no matter when you are dining there.
You and your family will be able to enjoy all of the various, tasty food choices. You will also have a chance to greet the Chef himself, Mickey Mouse, and several of his friends. I think you're surprised to find Chef Mickey's only requires one table-service entitlement and I agree. I think this is one of the reasons the Disney Dining Plan is a great deal for families.
Jon, thank you for visiting us with your question. I hope you'll let us know if we can help you with any other planning questions.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Amy H.
