Hi, Natasha! Welcome to planDisney!
As our pal Mickey Mouse would say, "Hot dog!" Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is only a week away! And I just know your family will love seeing Mickey along with Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Pluto all geared up in their chefs' attire at
Chef Mickey's in Disney's Contemporary Resort. It's such a fun experience, and the food is delightful! You're going to have an amazing evening!
To get back to the sandy shores of
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, I think your best bet will be to walk over to the
Magic Kingdom Park entrance and hop on a bus to your Resort hotel from there. The walk only takes about 10 minutes, and you may welcome a chance to stretch your legs a bit after such a filling meal! It looks like the Magic Kingdom is open until 10 p.m. all next week, and the buses will continue to operate for at least an hour after the park closes. With your dining reservation at 9 p.m., you should have plenty of time to enjoy your meal and catch a ride back "home" aboard
Walt Disney World bus transportation.
If you have any concerns about the timing, you can always verify how late the buses will be running with a Cast Member at the front desk of
Disney's Contemporary Resort or anyone working in the bus stop area (or a bus driver - they're a wealth of information!). Rest assured, they'll make sure you get where you need to go.
Natasha, I hope you have a fabulous meal with the gang at Chef Mickey's, and that your vacation is filled with magic. Please come see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
