Hi Maryann!
OOOHH!!! I'm so excited for you...
Chef Mickey's is one of my favorite character dining experiences. It's so much fun and, let's face it, a HUGE time saver because the characters come to visit you and you're not standing in line waiting to say hello.
You're planning correctly, Maryann. Please take the bus from Disney's All Star Music Resort to Magic Kingdom. Once you arrive at the park, you can walk to
Disney's Contemporary Resort or hop on a monorail, because The Contemporary is on the monorail loop. Make sure you give yourself at least 1 1/2 hours before your reservation time if you use
Disney Transportation. Of course, if you get there even sooner, it's a great resort to explore.
Have a wonderful time on your trip, and thanks for visiting the Moms Panel. Have a magical stay!
