Hi there, Donna!
It is a pleasure to welcome you to planDisney! We are thrilled to help you plan a pixie-dusted Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
I am a big fan of
character dining, and this is one of my family’s favorite experiences while visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth. I always make sure to book at least one meal with Disney pals because I think this is the best way to interact with them. Sometimes, they will even come to your table more than once during your meal. I think Chef Mickey’s is the perfect destination to meet the Fab 5, and I also recommend booking
Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends at Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera for an amazing breakfast experience at Disney’s Riviera Resort.
I am happy to share that even if you book a late reservation, you will still have time to meet and greet Disney friends at
Chef Mickey’s. I can tell from my personal experience that characters will still be going around the restaurant greeting Guests. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to talk to your server. Meeting characters is the main goal during a character dining meal, so get your camera and autograph book ready!
I hope this information is helpful, Donna. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney wishes,
Thiana
