Hi Melissa,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. I recently spent a wonderful Spring Break vacation at Walt Disney World Resort, where my family spent a lot of time in Disney’s BoardWalk area. I just love the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels – not only are they just stunning to look at and in a picture-perfect setting, but their location is absolutely fantastic. I’m so excited for you for your upcoming stay!
As of right now,
Minnie Van Service is not available at the Swan and Dolphin Hotels. Disney has been slowly rolling out the service, which features the most adorable polka-dotted vehicle fleet, to Disney Resort hotels. I recommend asking about Minnie Van Service at the resort’s front desk when you check in to see if anything has changed.
You really have two options for an early breakfast at Chef Mickey’s. The easiest is likely to call for a taxi; there is a transportation stand in the resort lobby that you may visit to reserve a taxi. Your other option is to take Disney Bus Transportation. There are usually early theme park buses available for Guests with dining reservations; your bus will take you to Magic Kingdom Park, and then it’s a short walk to Disney’s Contemporary Resort for breakfast with Mickey and pals. Be sure to check in with the hotel concierge as they are the experts on transportation options and schedules.
Melissa, have the best time at
Chef Mickey’s! It’s such an iconic character meal and I know you will love every minute.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
