enough time Chef Mickey then to MK for first FP time??

[FosterA]

Hello experts! I booked Chef Mickey at 5:15 but we have our first FP time at MK for 6-7:00. Probably not a smart move right?
We're a group of adults mainly so I don't suppose we're going to want to exactly meet and greet all the characters at dinner but yet I thought I'd book it for fun and for the cute pics and so forth. What time you think we'd get out of the dinner appx? Our first FP is for Haunted Mansion at 6-7:00 so I suppose it's not a HUGE deal if we miss that assuming the line won't be super long later in the night? Just not sure.
advice?
Thanks

I think you will have a hard time making that first Fast Pass. It is very rare to get seated on time for your ADRs. And then once you are done you will still have to clear security, get in the park, and walk back to the Haunted Mansion.

I would guess you would be done with dinner maybe 6;15, 6:30.

You will definitely be cutting it close! Chef Mickey's is one of the restaurants where we are consistently seated late. If it were me, I would check in a bit earlier than your ADR time in the hope of getting seated around your scheduled time, eat fast, and utilize the walkway to MK instead of the monorail as MK is the last stop when departing from CR. Bag check and security on the walkway were never more than 5 minutes when we were there last week. If the stars align, you might make it right at 7:00.
