Do you think this is correct? Re: Chef Mickey's and "brunch" during holidays?

[wildernesslodgelover]

Hi DISers!

I have posted on a few threads in regards to holiday pricing. I never knew holiday pricing existed, especially over such a wide range of dates. I am hosting a breakfast (10:40 a.m.) at Chef Mickey's for a party of 9 to celebrate my DD's Bday on Jan 5. I see the price went up from $18.99 for adults to $22.99 as of 9/30/07/ I saw this on allearsnet.com. Of course that stinks, but whatever, such is life, ya know?

THEN, I found out about "holiday pricing" until Jan 5. Now, that adds $4 to the adult buffet, taking it up to $26.99. I was looking on this thread...

Do you think CM's will be open for lunch during the holiday period? Does it seem like those items will be available during breakfast (prime rib, chicken marsala, etc?) It would make the higher price easier to swallow if those items were on the buffet, although I really like the straight up eggs/bacon/pancakes type of fare at that time.

I notice there is a time for dinner at CM's (from 3:45 to 9:30) but I don't see a time for what is labeled "brunch." Is this site pretty reliable with facts?

Sorry so wordy, not sure why I am so concerned with price and food at this point. The ADR is made, the family members are invited and at this point "it is what it is" and I know I will enjoy it no matter what! I am just one of those people who always like to be mentally prepared for things like this. I am a little bummed to know I will be paying $8 more per person than initially planned so I am just trying to figure out what I am getting for my $$!

Thanks for any input! Have a magical day.

I would call and ask the Disney Dining CMs. Since you have that many, and I am assuming, are covering the cost of everyone's meal, I'd want a definitive answer before I arrived. That's quite a range to swallow.
