I love it..the food is great. LAst time (2 weeks ago) they had a salmon with a pesto, and garlic mashed potatoes, and things like that.. Its really good food, and its an all you can eat buffet. No, everyone that goes gets to see the characters, but you defintly need ADR!!

My family thinks that CM is the most fun, and it is where they want to spend their first night. It gets them into the Disney mood. Last January at dinnertime we saw Pluto, Mickey, Chip and Dale and Goofey in the dining Room. Donald Duck was in the lobby. Last week at breakfast we saw Mickey and Minnie along with Chip and Dale in the dining room, Goofey in the lobby. The atmosphere is noisy and typifies a party atmosphere. The buffet is good for buffet food.

We've been for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was disappointing food wise.

We had Christmas brunch at CM last year. Service was poor, food was not replenished/refreshed on the buffet as it should have been, and the character interaction was terrible. Although the kids had fun (but didn't eat anything!!), we won't be returning to CM any time soon. There are just too many places at WDW that are consistently good to risk another bad meal at CM.

We have been several times for breakfast and dinner. The food is not great, but pretty good. It's a lot of fun with the charactors and that's the main reason to go to Chef Mickey's! You do not have to be staying at the Contemporary to go there, just take the monorail from one of the parks, that's always fun too.

We have been to CM twice in the past 4 months (and once three years ago). We have enjoyed it each time, but there are character meals I like better. If you sit in the outer area of the restaurant you can see the monorail go by while you dine.

It is a buffet - they server breakfast, dinner, and recently added lunch.

Our experiences have been favorable, with good service, and food choices that we all liked (we surely don't get our moneys worth out of any buffet though.

Yesterday at lunch we saw Goofy in the lobby meeting folks, Minnie, Mickey, Chip, Dale & Pluto. Chip & Dale are always fun and silly no matter were we see them, and yesterday was no different. (This is who we saw at breakfast in April as well, I believe DD is there for dinner)

The lunch buffet had:
Salad bar, fruit, cold cuts, assorted breads, a pasta dish, mickey head ravioli (I had not seen these before!), BBQ ribs & chicken, salmon, a spinach quiche type dishe, cooked baby carrots, summer veggies ( yellow & green squash), a corn pudding type dish, I am sure I am forgetting something - kids menu had mac & cheese, pizza.....

DD had pizza, pasta & watermelon. I had some salad, a MH ravioli, some rib mat, salmon, quiche, corn pudding (it was dry) and veggies. We did not check out the desserts as we both were full.

We were in a dining are towards the back of the restaurant, and it was a bit less busy and quiet than other places we have dined.


Breakfast has lots of good choices as well. I especially like the breakfast pizza, and of course Mickey waffles!

I thought
chef Mickeys was fantastic when we went last year and can't wait to go again in ocotber. We felt dinner was better value than breakfats. We had reservations for about 8.30 at night i think, this was a good time as it was not overly crowed more people finishing their food than arriving at this time.
Would definately say to go for diner. We have no kids and still got great interactions with the characters igot a kiss from mickey what more could you ask for.
