When do you suggest we eat at Chef Mickey's?

Well, I don't suppose we're going to Disney for world-class dining anyhow. Chef Mickey's is all about the kids seeing the characters. My DS7 and DD7 have been on two Disney cruises and done plenty of character interaction, so they could probably take it or leave it. But their 5 and 4 year old cousins are beside-themselves-excited and it will be a real thrill for them.

We have done both. Dinner was disgusting but breakfast was awesome!

Lots of people choosing not to go now gives me hope. Hope that the ever-increasing dissatisfaction has maybe finally been pushed to the breaking point and Disney will re-evaluate and tighten it back up a bit. Everyone has a breaking point, Disney knows it. It's about balance with any business anyway. We finally reached ours. I dearly hope so. We LOVED going for the characters, but there finally came a point (for us) that when we left hungry and got no drink refills (barely saw our server), that meals for a hundred and a half or more are just not worth it anymore. I don't expect world-class dining (I don't think anyone does), just something a little better than Old Country Buffet and servers and characters less rushed.

Well reading this little thread has certainly helped me solidify our dining reservations for June.

I think since we've been visiting the world in the last 12 years or so, we've had dinner at Chef Mickey's THREE times...and I wasn't happy with the food any of those times. The last time was Nov of 2007.

For our upcoming trip, I thought I'd maximize our DDP credits and schedule dinner there again, in hopes that maybe the food isn't really as bad as I remembered. I can see now that is a mistake.

We have breakfast scheduled also, as we do breakfast there EVERY SINGLE trip! I think I'll go ahead and cancel dinner and let some other person have that experience!
