CHEF MICKEY’s DINNER

This was pretty much the only character meal we had never done. We had it booked several times before and always cancelled for one reason or another. The girls were really looking forward to it.

It was also our first proper visit to The Contemporary. I loved the hotel. We checked in about 7.45pm for our 7.55pm adr. We had a picture taken and waited until about 8pm to be called. First impressions where that this is definitely the most child oriented character meal. Very busy, very loud but we were all good with that so be warned if your not





Our server came along and took drink orders and explained who we’d be seeing at that Goofy was due to come in a minute. We waited and saw Goofy before going up to the buffet. I was pleased that Evie was playing ball this evening.



We were soon up at the buffet. Loads of great choice, breads(an amazing white roll with a salt top was my favourite) salads, shrimp, carving station, pasta, mash, sweet and sour chicken,butter chicken, pot stickers,veggies, kids station etc. The list is endless. Again excuse the photos as Buffets are hard to do.














It was all really good and we all over indulged. Personal highlight for me was the beef from the carving station.




Note the compartment plates for kids. I should have used it

In between plates, we had fresh drinks brought round and more character meets with Pluto, Donald and Minnie. Our two are awful and never say anything which is awkward!







Onto desserts. A lovely selection of desserts ranging from Ice cream station, Cookies, brownies, macaroons, cannolis, cakes etc. All really good but I didn’t eat loads as I was stuffed!


















We seemed to miss Mickey but we told someone and saw him when we left.



Overall a very positive experience. Good service as well. Noisy and busy and not for everyone but we loved it.

CONTEMPO CAFE SNACK



Just a snack. I was desperate to try a Peanut Butter Pie from here that I’d seen before. I grabbed one to go after Chef Mickey’s next door. They have a lovely selection of cakes.





I’m not going to lie. I haven’t tried it yet. I will update this once eaten. It’s in the fridge awaiting consumption

1 snack credit

Glad you all enjoyed it.

I will try to remember to head over to wherever we are eating (our booking says ABC too) sharp as the park opens to beat the queues too.
I think the refurb is just a couple of weeks so you’ll probably be back at ABC Commissary. In regards to Extra Morning Magic. It was really good but more people than I thought. Don’t get breakfast before.We headed to breakfast as soon as the crowds were let in as the event finished. It was like a scene from The Walking Dead with the hoards coming at us!

Great start!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to update live!

Can't wait fir our stay at POFQ in September. We loved the resort last time. Sorry to hear the boat to Disney Springs was a faff, we loved that on our last trip. Same as the beignets which were much better with caramel sauce!

Thanks again and enjoy your trip :-)
