    Do you have to have a park pass to come in and eat at the restaurants? One in particular I am asking about is Chef Mickeys.

    Hi Corryn and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

    I have good news! You do not need to have a theme park ticket to dine at one of the wonderful restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort Hotels. Since you asked about Chef Mickey's, you can go to this popular restaurant at Disney's Contemporary Resort without entering a park. If you drive yourself, you will simply need to tell the security guard at the gate that you are there to dine at Chef Mickey's. They will typically issue a three-hour parking permit to cover the time you will be dining. 

    Corryn, thank you for visiting us again with another great question. I hope you'll let us know if we can help you with any other questions.
    Wishing you a magical vacation,
    Amy H.
