Hello Cheryl! This is truly based on my opinion and, of course, my character dining experience. Well, not really, my 3 boys, ages 14 - 8 are sitting right here and would like to offer their opinions as well. It is unanimous,
Chef Mickey's is the winner! Chef Mickey's is located in Disney's Contemporary Resort on the fourth floor. You can easily utilize the Monorail System that runs right through the resort in order to get to Chef Mickey's and then hop right back on for easy access to Epcot or the Magic Kingdom.
Chef Mickey's will have you and your family clapping and singing along with Mickey and the Gang. All the characters will stop by your table to greet your family as you enjoy your "buffet-style" meal. The company and the food is great! Be sure to have your cameras and autograph books ready. Oh, you will also have your picture taken upon check-in which you may purchase for an additional charge. You will really find yourself in the middle of Disney magic. This restaurant is a "must do" for every visit.
I hope this helps as your continue with your planning. Please come back and visit us again. Have a magical day!
