Chef Mickey's reservation alerts

What makes Chef Mickey's special

Chef Mickey's is a lively character meal inside Disney's Contemporary Resort, where Mickey and pals like Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto make the rounds in their chef outfits. The monorail glides overhead through the Grand Canyon Concourse.

It is one of the most reliable places to meet the classic Fab Five in a single sitting, which makes it a family favorite.

Why Chef Mickey's books up

As one of Disney World's best-known character meals, Chef Mickey's draws steady demand, and prime breakfast and dinner times fill first. Its spot on the monorail loop makes it easy to reach, which adds to the crowds.

When reservations open and drop

Most Walt Disney World dining opens 60 days ahead, and popular Chef Mickey's times go quickly.

Cancellations appear throughout the day and especially close to the date. Flexibility on your time makes catching one easier.

The monorail runs overhead

Chef Mickey’s sits on the Contemporary’s open concourse, and the resort monorail runs directly through the building above the tables. Children tend to spend as much of the meal watching for it as watching for characters.

It also makes the room loud in a way that suits a character breakfast and suits a quiet dinner considerably less, which is worth knowing before you choose a service.

How to catch a Chef Mickey's cancellation

A canceled table can be re-booked within minutes, so an alert works better than refreshing yourself. It watches 24/7 and pings you the moment a matching table opens.
