food IS a theme park
Welcome to our roundup of What’s New at Disney’s Contemporary, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian Village Resorts!
Grand Floridian Resort in DIsney World
We’ve got a lot to tell you about, including new menu items (like seasonal BACON) and construction updates!
What’s better than celebrating the start of a new year? Celebrating at Walt Disney World, of course!

Joining the lineup of New Year’s Eve events at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and the Riviera Resort are several other parties around Disney World property.
is about as classic a Walt Disney World character buffet as they come.
Located on the fourth floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort and in the shadows of arriving and departing Monorail trains, Chef Mickey’s is a character buffet featuring the Fab Five — Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald — in their finest chef attire.
The open, raucous space is dominated by sparse design and seemingly endless food choices, making it a great place for many families. No need to shush the kids when they devolve into squeals of delight with Minnie coming around the corner. No worries about finding something for everyone to eat. Just grab a plate, fill up, and get some character love.
But the food quality here hasn’t been great in the past, and while it’s certainly passable, for THAT price you expect something that’s good, at least, not something that’s mediocre. Still, Chef Mickey’s draws a crowd — you’ll definitely want to snag an Advance Dining Reservation if you want to eat here — and it’s all about that Fab Five meet and greet life.
Chef Mickey’s
I ventured to Chef Mickey’s with my family for brunch to see if the food is showing any signs of improvement (and to peep the Fab Five in their chef-y finest!).
Like its food, Chef Mickey’s isn’t winning any awards for its decor or atmosphere, unfortunately. [Read more…]
An annual pass could be an amazing purchase for the frequent Disney World visitor. The ability to go to Disney World practically whenever you want? Um, yes, please!
