We make minimum 3 reservations here every trip. My girls are older and yes the characters are great, but we come for the food. We have eaten almost everywhere that serves breakfast @ Disney and Chef Mickeys is #1. Great experience and great food. Any request you have they will fulfill it. We are home now from our trip and I already miss the food here. Enjoy for those who will be eating here soon !

Went to Chef mickey 3 times on our last trip maybe because we are on the dining plan cost does not matter we loved it and I thought the pancakes are very good and the blintzes are very good to my kids are always begging to go back. Characters never rush their visits and always are funny. We never have had to wait long before sitting I feel Chef Mickey is a great Character choice and I feel food was very good.

We did Chef Mickeys for breakfast on our last trip and we were not thrilled with the food. The food was the same food served at any resort food court on Disney property. One would think that for $120 for three breakfast buffets there would be a better selection. If you are wanting to meet characters Crystal Palace is a much better value.

We went to breakfast at Chef Mickey's to celebrate my son's birthday on our last trip. There were a number of items to choose from including the standards (eggs, bacon, etc) as well as Mickey waffles (caramel sauce on the side), cheese blintzes, breakfast pizza, cheesy potatoes, and quiches. The fruit selection was good also. The food was okay in quality but could be better- eggs were very runny and almost watery in the buffet line and the pancakes were rubbery. It's true that sitting on a buffet affects food but those eggs were awful looking. Crystal Palace has far better food for breakfast.
On the plus side the characters and server were fanstastic. Each character came around and gave the children special attention. Minnie went out of her way to be gentle and not scare the baby. All posed for a number of pictures. Our server was quick, efficient, and kept us posted about which characters were on their way. She also brought a cupcake for my son's birthday.

Party of 10 ate here 3/26/2013. I was somewhat worried with all the negatives about the food. I was VERY pleased with the food. Everything tasted great. An update to the decor is needed though and the only reason I gave a 9.

We had breakfast at Chef Mickey for the fourth time this past February 28th. We are two adults and one pre-teen. We always have our first breakfast at WDW at this location. We come here for the fun atmosphere and the character interaction which can't be beat. The staff has always been very nice and the breakfast food very good. There really is something for everyone, even smoked salmon and capers which I alway have. Of course, if you're going to do a math equation as to value of food to money spent then you may as well not dine anywhere in Disney. Rather, go for the atmosphere, the fun, the character interaction which is priceless and you will know that your money was well spent.

I dined here on Fri March 9th for breakfast.
Had a 7am ressie, so the restaurant was practically empty.
They took my picture first with the statue of Chef Mickey. I had photopass + so they gave me my picture at the table no additional cost.
**Not sure why they don't have your pic taken with the real Chef Mickey...At Donald's Safari breakfast at Tusker House in AK, you get your pic taken with the real safari Donald.**
I don't go here for the food, I go for the fun atmosphere, and character dining.
I was celebrating my birthday. My server was bright and bubbly...like someone I knew for years. Since I was dining alone, she made it a point to be around when the characters circulated through so she could take pictures for me.
I'm not a picky eater, so the buffet breakfast was fine for me. They had lots of fresh fruits, and Mickey waffles which are my favorite.
The characters were fun and they treated me like a kid again. I had a really fun meal! I love the napkin twirling!
After my meal I hopped on the monorail to Epcot for Rope Drop!

My DH and I arrived for breakfast on 2/23 about 20 minutes before our reservation, and were seated almost immediately. The staff was friendly and explained everything to us, as we had never eaten there before. Neither one of us were very impressed with the food on the buffet. It was ok if you were paying about $20/pp, but for the price I thought the quality would be a lot better. The characters were great and we got our picture taken with all of them. Would probably stick to the buffet at the Crystal Palace though.

This used to be a favorite character meal of ours, and we recently returned on our January 2013 trip. Unfortunately, the quality of food isn't what it used to be, and the time with the characters was very rushed.
I don't think we'll be returning to this restaurant. We've found character meals at other resorts that we prefer.

The good, the characters were great. We dined here for my mom's birthday breakfast they sang to her.
The ok, the food, nothing special.
The bad, when we arrived we were told to wait in a seating area, never being told to have our photo taken. Having photo pass+ we wanted our photo. When I asked the server he indicated we could go back to get it done, but they normally take it before you eat. Ended up waiting 20 min to get the pic and have it produced.

We dined at Chef Mickey's for breakfast for the first time on Dec 11, 2012. My kids were super excited to eat with Mickey! We were early for our reservation and our pager went off while we were about to have our picture taken with the Mickey statue. (My husband had enough time to take the toddler to change him while we waited)
We we seated and our waitress was fabulous! Very friendly and attentive. It felt like we'd known her forever! She figured out somehow that my husband was in the military and brought him a cupcake and had the restaurant thank him. (I was unfortunately in the restroom for this, but it was so sweet!)
Characters were great! They spent a good deal of time with each table, I thought. Really allowed for kids to get their fill and parents to get their pictures. Mickey and Goofy even pushed my youngest's high chair in!
The only issue we had was the food. My husband loves a good buffet but the eggs were horrible! They were so runny they really weren't edible! A lot of the other savory breakfast items were just mediocre. Mickey waffles and French toast were good, but the food was not as good as our visit to Crystal Palace earlier in the week.
Overall we'd return to Chef Mickeys again because of the festive atmosphere, great character interaction and great service. I just would hope the food improves!

Ate here for breakfast on Dec. 5th with my two children. My reservation was for 7:30am. There was a line for check in and a line for the family picture that was mandatory to take. After waiting on a long line for the picture, our buzzer went off and we were taken to our table. The server was a nice lady who explained the route the characters take and told us we had some time to get our food at the buffet before the first character would arrive. Not long after sitting down, someone came by showing us our picture that we took at check in but I didn't buy it. It wasn't very good and it was expensive.
Food here was warm although it wasn't a huge variety like it was at the Tusker House breakfast buffet in Animal Kingdom. Service was good. Drinks were full. There were standard breakfast items at the buffet but nothing too special. Characters were ok, but didn't spend too much time at our table. After breakfast, we jumped on the monorail upstairs and went to the Magic Kingdom. I have now eaten here twice. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. Both times, the meal was just ok. I am not sure I will return again unless I was staying at the Contemporary.

Great experience. All of the characters were fun. Spent plenty of time at our table and we enjoyed watching them interact with the kids around us. The food was great. We did 4 character breakfast and didn't like the pressure to buy the picture they take before you are seated.

Typical over priced Disney breakfast buffet. But it was Mickey, what can I say. The food is very good and the service quite adequate. They charge extra for your picture with the plastic mouse at the entrance. It was my wife's birthday and we did get some cupcakes and a window seat with a nice view of a roof.
