Welcome to planDisney, Linnette! I'm glad you dropped by with your question.
Linnette, I love chatting about
dining around the Walt Disney World Resort and character dining is the perfect way to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner with a little extra pixie dust! First, I'm happy to report that anytime you take photos with a
Disney PhotoPass photographer, those pictures are included with your
Memory Marker purchase. (Just remember to download them as soon as your vacation is over as they are only available for 45 days online.)
Now, when my family and I last dined at
Chef Mickey's there was 1 Disney PhotoPass opportunity and it was at the conclusion of your meal. You will see either Chef Mickey or Chef Minnie with an adorable backdrop meeting and greeting guests of the restaurant. That photo will be available with your Memory Maker package. Just make sure the photographer or Cast Member assisting scans your MagicBand, ticket, or phone to link the photo to your account. During dinner, Mickey's friends stopped by our table, and we just used our smartphone to take candid shots during this time. The characters were great about posing and happy to take selfies with our table!
Linnette, I hope this helps as you're looking forward to dining with some of my favorite faces. I know you'll have a Magical time. Please come on back to planDisney with any additional questions you might have.
Lauren
