Along with traditional breakfast favorites, you will be able to try the new Mickey’s “Celebration” Pancake, featuring whipped cream, celebration sprinkles, shimmering pixie dust and more. Goofy’s Banana Bread French Toast will combine unique flavors of banana bread baked in zesty orange-scented French toast batter, topped with Espresso-mascarpone cream, toasted bananas and chocolate crumbles.

For something a bit more savory, we’re adding a new “Loaded” Potato-Cheese Casserole topped with smoked bacon crumbles and chives.

If you can’t decide on which new item to try, you’ll be able to taste all three as part of an all-you-care-to-eat family style feast with other traditional breakfast favorites.

When Mickey and friends return, the experience may look a little different than the last time you visited, but you can still expect to smile, wave and make unforgettable memories with some of your favorite characters as they parade through the restaurant in their chef’s best.

Reservations for Chef Mickey’s character breakfast will open on October 17, based on availability. In addition, Disney Resort hotel guests can make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of their stay (up to 10 days).

And the "boos" just keep coming! I'm not a fan of this. Bring back the buffet! COVID is NOT a contact illness. It does not live on surfaces. We are a little past the Chef Mickey's age at this point and generally prefer to explore other options. However it is still fun to go from time to time for the atmosphere and to stuff your face. It wasn't the fanciest buffet, but with so many options you could easily ruin your diet for a day.

I think this is just annoying. Calling it "character dining", but from what I read, all it means is that characters will parade through, still no photos or autographs.

If the price was less - given the experience is diminished - then it might be ok. But we know that won't be the case. The whole reason to do these sort of things is the magical one on one interaction a child can have with a character close up.

If we are all masked up - not sure why this can't happen. Unless the characters can't wear masks - if you know what I'm saying - because it gets too hot.

It seems like the characters just parade through the restaurant. Am I reading that correctly? No interaction with the guests? I wonder if the banana bread french toast will be the same as at Olivia's.
I make our ADRs next month. I keep hoping that Crystal Palace will open.

I would totally book this

As far as I can tell, the breakfast right now is $25 per person. I wonder if it will go up again after they implement this.
