Chef Mickey's or not? 2 adults

[onelilspark]

I was at Chef Mickey's at the beginning of October with my friend. I'm 23 and she's 25. I've been plenty of times with adult friends and my parents (i.e. no kids!) without problems. This time was different. We were seated really quickly after checking in (yay!) but were seated in a room that the characters were just leaving...ok, no biggie, I figured they were just moving through the restaurant quickly that day.

So we got our food, sat down, enjoyed it, etc. Got seconds, our waitress came with our bill. Everyone else in the room started leaving. No sign of characters. They started seating everyone else who had checked in right around the same time as us. Our waitress came back to check to see if we had paid yet. Ummm...I know I'm a "grown up," but why would I pay that much money for breakfast if I didn't want to see the characters? And why would I be wearing my Minnie Mouse ears? She came back again... We were obvsiouly seated in that room because we were 2 adults and were trying to be rushed through breakfast so they could turn the table. I wasn't pleased. We stayed for every character that came through

In all fairness, that was the first time that had happened, but it shouldn't have happened at all. For my family's trip in February, we're going to Cape May Cafe.

I went to CM for breakfast on 11/28. My party was three adults, one first-timer (me) and one birthday (brother). I loved it! The restaurant was clean, there was a wide variety of food offered, and the service was excellent. Even the woman who brings the snapshots to the tables chatted with us for awhile and sang happy birthday to my brother. I thought the character interaction was great; even with the large amount of little kids demanding their attention, each of the five characters stopped at our table for hugs and pics, no one simply waved and passed by.

CM started the first full day of our trip and a great way to get into the disney spirit, IMO.

Go and enjoy yourselves. When my DH and I went to CM with NO KIDS, we had a ball and we are both in our 50's. It has been a couple years and I can't remember exactly, I think it was an early dinner, I know it wasn't breakfast. We enjoyed watching the character interaction with everyone, including each other, and also with us.

Goofy was picking on poor Pluto and kept tying Pluto's apron strings to a chair, door handle, etc. and we had a ball. It is loud, but we expected this so it didn't bother us at all.

I don't remember seeing any kids chasing the characters around, but they did do some sort of march with the kids following the characters, but that part of the "show".

I don't remember either of us complaining about the food so it couldn't have been as bad as many others have posted.

IMO go, have fun and form your own opinion.

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm still up in the air, but leaning towards going anyways and seeing. Since there are so few tables for 2 (less than 10 I think), we were only able toget a 7:40 ADR. However, this might work out in our favor because Wishes is at 8 pm that night. I'm hoping everyone will clear out to see the fireworks.
