Hi Kristine! Thanks for visiting us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
The easiest way to get from Disney's BoardWalk Resort to Disney's Contemporary Resort is to head to the bus stop and hop on the bus designated to Magic Kingdom. Once at Magic Kingdom, follow the signs to the Monorail, it's just a short walk. Once you board the monorail, it's a quick ride and the first stop is the Contemporary Resort.
Chef Mickey's is a very popular breakfast, maybe one of the most iconic character meals. We've had breakfast there before and had a great time. Although, since you mentioned it, I will tell you I love the character breakfast at Cape May Cafe so much more. It's a less crowded breakfast because it's off the beaten path. I have found we always have a better character interaction here, it just feels less rushed. The characters are dressed in their beach attire, which makes for a really cute picture. I also like the food better at Cape May Cafe. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet full of pastries, biscuits and gravy, an amazing egg and chorizo scramble and lots of other yummy options.
Whatever you choose to do, I know you will have a great time. If I can help you with anything else, please come back and
ask me. Have a magical day!
