Hiya, Kristyn, and welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy, I bet you are simply giddy with excitement since your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth is just a few weeks away! Before you know it, you’ll be off to Neverland, soaring with Dumbo, and traveling to a galaxy far, far away. And if that’s not enough to get you to do a happy dance, the fact that you were able to snag a reservation at
Chef Mickey’s should do the trick. Not only will you feast on a smorgasbord of delicious fare from the buffet, but you will also get to meet some of your favorite Disney pals while you dine. Throughout your meal, Mickey and a few of his friends will make their way to your table to say hello. Once you are seated, your server will explain exactly how this process works, but I assure you the characters will still be there for you to meet during your mealtime.
It sounds like you are a big fan of meeting characters, Kristyn, so let me let you in on a little secret ... If you open the interactive map in your
My Disney Experience mobile app and select “Characters” from the drop-down menu at the top-middle of the map, you will see the location of any available
Character Experiences in the park you are visiting that day. I often select “Show List” in the top right corner to see the available characters in a list format. When you select a character from that list, it will show you the precise location and times you can meet them.
I hope this information puts your mind at ease, Kristyn. If you think of anything else before you set off on your Walt Disney World Resort adventure, don’t hesitate to stop back by. We’re all ears and happy to help!
See ya real soon,
Alyssa
