Chef Mickey's Question

[bookworm61]

Hi,
If I make an 11:00 or 11:15 ADR for Chef Mickey's for breakfast, will the experience be less because we are just coming in at the end of the breakfast hours? A late seating suits some family members who are flying in late the night before. However, I want the kids to get the full experience of dancing/singing/napkin waving and see all the characters. Also, I want the food to be plentiful, not picked over and disappearing. Thanks in advance for any help!

I don't know how late CM makes ADRs for breakfast. However, one of our favorite things is to make late breakfast ADRs and sort of do it as a brunch.
We have found that the food remains hot and plentiful until an hour after the last ADR (at least). The characters seem to be MORE fun at the late ressies as the room is less crowded. They are very playful--we have a paper wher Goofy drew pictures with DD, etc.

I wouldn't hesitate to take the last ADR available. The restaurants don't seem to go into "shut down" mode--they are either open (fully), or not.

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know.

Someone asked this question a couple of weeks ago and the overwhelming response was "Later was better" Hope that sets your mind at rest!

I think that is the best time also!
We did chef mickeys the last seating for breakfast, I think it was 11:15. It was great, not crowded, plently of food and all the "fun stuff" happened.
Enjoy

I am happy to hear this too! We have done Chef Mickey's for breakfast early in the past, but this time we made an ADR for 11:20. Glad to know we will still get the full character meal effect!

yay! we have an ADR for 11:10 but I wasn't worried because I had heard that the experience is better towards the end...

We had an ADR for 11h15 in september, and we were able to have a picture of me and my fiance with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and GOofy!!!!

There are so few people that the characters, after making their rounds of course, just all converge to one place... It was great.
