Disney World is still not entirely back to its pre-pandemic self, but little by little the place we know and love is returning to its former glory.
Mickey at Chef Mickey’s
Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort was a popular dining spot for families because of their buffet service and fun character dining. When the parks re-opened in 2020, both of those aspects were removed. Both the characters and buffet have RETURNED, but a major price increase has now hit the restaurant.
Chef Mickey’s buffet service is officially back as of today! Previously the restaurant had been serving food family style, where tables shared a prix fixe menu and guests could order more of any item they’d like. Now, this restaurant brought back its original buffet service, which made this spot a popular choice for both the Contemporary’s resort guests and others visiting the Resort.
Breakfast buffet!
While there is some controversy surrounding the buffet’s return, there’s one more change that might bring about even more contention. Today, pricing for Chef Mickey’s has also been updated. When they were serving their dishes family style, adults could dine for $45 at breakfast and for $60 at dinner. Now, breakfast is $51 per adult and dinner is $62. Likewise, prices for kids have raised. Children used to be able to eat for $29 each at breakfast time and $38 at dinner, and now breakfast service is $33 per child and dinner is $39.
