Chef Mickey's/How long for dinner?

[JerseyMouse]

How long does a typical dinner take at Chef Mickey's?

I just made a 5:10 reservation and would like to go back to the Magic Kingdom afterward but I am not sure this is realistic. The MK closes at 8:00 that night.

I doubt you will be able to,especially if you want to enjoy the characters and take pictures,get autographs and stuff-unless you really just rush through.

I agree that you might not make the Magic Kingdom because you don't want to rush threw your meal and Chef Mickey's is a place where you need to take your time and etc.

I would figure about an hour and a half after you are seated. You might not be seated right away. That will give you plenty of time to eat and see all the characters. Probably not worth going back.

Its a buffet so depends on how quickly you can eat (!!), but it takes about an hour for all the characters to get to your table (from what I remember!)

I usually figure a standard hour and a half for character meals. That doesn't factor in waiting to be seated or travel time.
