About Chef Mickey’s
Chef Mickey’s is one of the most iconic character dining experiences at Walt Disney World. Located on the fourth-floor Grand Concourse of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, this bustling buffet restaurant puts you face-to-face with the Fab Five — Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto — all in their chef attire.
The Contemporary Resort setting is part of the experience. The restaurant sits in the open atrium of the A-frame tower, and the Walt Disney World Monorail glides directly through the building above the dining area. It is a uniquely Disney moment — eating breakfast while the monorail whooshes overhead and Mickey Mouse stops by to sign your autograph book.
Chef Mickey’s has been a Walt Disney World staple for decades, and for many families it is the character dining experience — the one they return to trip after trip. The energy level is high (think napkin-waving celebrations and lively music), making it especially well-suited for families with younger children who want maximum character interaction in a fun, casual environment.
