On February 26 we went to Chef Mickey's for our first character breakfast. There were 11 of us total...myself, my husband, our 2 kids (ages 4 and 2), my MIL, FIL, niece (age 2), SIL, BIL, and their 2 DDs (our other nieces), ages 5 and 2.
I was a little nervous at first, because I'd read some pretty bad reviews on this board, but we absolutely *loved* it!! The food was pretty good- these are the things they served that I can remember off the top of my head:
The meal includes drinks, so we got each of our kids a chocolate milk (to go with their meals) and a regular milk (to bring in cups with us- they didn't frown upon this at all!) We all really enjoyed the food, and what a fun atmosphere! Several times throughout the morning, they play music and the servers/characters sing and dance to a song where you spin your napkins around in the air- really cute!
Character interaction was GREAT! We saw Chip, Dale, Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, and I think one of the ducks was there...can't remember which. Minnie "broke the ice" with my DD, who was previously scared to get close to the characters before she came over to pose for a pic with her!
Also, I saw a few complaints previously about the stairs- we sat "upstairs" and didn't find it to be a big deal at all! We had a window view of the monorail track and the convention center at the Contemporary, and it was very nice! There are only 4 or 5 stairs to climb, and they're not steep...not sure why people have complained about them before.
We give Chef Mickey's, at least for breakfast, a big THUMBS UP!! Our total cost (for me, DH, DS4, and DD2) was $55 including tip, and that's because I added a couple of extra dollars, even though a tip had already been added to our bill. Granted, we don't have another character breakfast to compare it to, since this was our first, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Hope this helps someone!

- Variety of fresh fruits (bananas, strawberries, melon, etc.)
- Several different flavors of bagels
- Several different types of egg-casserole dishes (with ham & other things added to them)
- Mickey-shaped mini waffles
- Mini pancakes
- Variety of pastries, including cinnamon rolls and cheese danishes (which were delicious!)
- Variety of cold cereals to choose from
- Potato casserole- kind of like Potatoes O'Brien but larger pieces
- Bacon
- Sausage
- Biscuits
- Sausage gravy
