Chef Mickey or Hollywood & Vine?

Guest · 24 Jul 16, 02:02 PM

We're on the QSDP but we're going to have one or two character meals too and pay OOP. We have Fantasmic booked for one day so have booked H&V for before that but we also have Chef Mickey's booked for another night. Is the cost worth doing them both or if not, which is best?

Who's it for? (Ages of kids etc).

We've done both but these days we're kinda over buffets, especially character ones and prefer a sit down meal. Having said that we have got Tusker House pencilled in as we didn't make it there last time.

With your choices, I'd probably got for Chef Mickeys as it's a more classic Disney character buffet but having said that, if you've young kids who are DisneyJnr fans then H&V is a good one. Although is the Fantasmic meal DisneyJnr? (I'm not sure as the new Minnie dining came in after our last trip).

For me, while I'm saying CM is more of a class Disney meal I'd be more tempted by whichever location I was going to be closest to on the day. I wouldn't leave Hollywood Studios to get to Chef Mickeys for example.

H & V is great but it's Disney Jr and I guess that a 7yo might not get too much from it

Isn't it mickey and Minnie and gang at dinner now but still Disney jnr characters at breakfast and lunch? I was hoping to try H & V next year but not if it's Disney jr!

Ah sorry I didn't read properly and assumed OP had booked breakfast, you're right it's Minnie and Daisy at Dinner

Which is cheaper then?

You can get approx pricing from the Touringplans site in the dining section:

H&V: Breakfast buffet $32 (child $20); lunch buffet $41 (child $25); dinner buffet $50 (child $30)

Chef Mickey: Breakfast and brunch $41 (child $25), dinner $50 (child $30)

Hope this helps
