Chef Mickey’s Opens for Brunch Starting May 31 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Reservations open May 22 for what promises to be a popular new addition to Walt Disney World Resort dining – mid-day brunch daily at Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

The popular restaurant, with the Monorail breezing by overhead, has been open for breakfast and dinner, and is one of the very best spots for an audience with Chef Mickey and his pals, who make a stop at each table during dining service.

For brunch, the menu of breakfast favorites expands with soup; salads including Caesar; seafood, fresh broccoli, antipasto, chicken and Caprese, and hot dishes such as barbecued ribs, seafood étouffée and baked salmon. (And, yes, the famous Mickey waffles are on the brunch menu.) The ice cream bar and Contemporary bakery sweets also will be part of the expansive buffet.

Hours for brunch are 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. (Breakfast is still 7-11:30 a.m. and dinner 5-9:30 p.m.) Meals are one table-service entitlement on the Disney Dining Plan. For reservations, visit www.disneyworld.com/dine or call 407-WDW-DINE.

I have always been astounded that a lunchtime option has never been offered, given the popularity of this character meal. I think it is great to give more guests the opprtunity to dine with Mickey & Minnie!

i looked at 530A this morning and it was already up. I think we're going to give it a try on the 31st.

Base prices appear to be $21.29 Guests Ages 3-9 and $40.46 Guests Ages 10 and Up.

Chef Mickey's is one of several locations that charges additional premiums during "peak" seasons.

I may have to add this to our dining plans for December. I make our ADR's on June 4th, so I better work quickly!

This would be a nice break from the park for a resort lunch.
