Hi Erin, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Starting off your day with a fun breakfast at
Chef Mickey's is sure to put a smile on everyone's face! Your question just reminded me of one of my favorite Disney vacation memories -- Goofy pulling up a chair to "help" my son eat his breakfast!
No worries about arriving in time for your meal -- you've got options! Although schedules are subject to change, on most days the
Resort Monorail begins operating by 7:00 am to allow Guests with early morning breakfast reservations to get where they need to be. Pick up a Times Guide that lists transportation operating hours during your visit at any theme park,
Guest Relations location, or the
Front Desk of your
Disney Resort Hotel. If you'll have a vehicle, you are also welcome to park at
Disney's Contemporary Resort during your meal. Guests with reservations receive complimentary
parking for up to 3 hours to enjoy their meal. Another great option would be door-to-door transportation with
Disney's Minnie Van service. Minnie Vans can be requested and paid for using the Lyft app.
Erin, the most efficient way to reach Chef Mickey's will depend on where you are starting out the morning of your breakfast. If you'd like to write us back and let us know where you'll be staying, we'll be happy to give you advice on the best transportation method. Of course, you are also welcome to visit the Moms Panel again anytime with any additional questions you may have. We are always happy to help.
