Chef Mickey's

This was our first experience with Chef Mickey's.   We chose to do a late breakfast for several reasons.  1.) We prefer breakfast food,  2.) It's a little cheaper, and 3.) It breaks our morning up a little since we are definite early birds.

We have done a LOT of character dining, and I have to say that this wasn't my number one favorite on first impressions.   When we got there, there were 30-40 families waiting to be seated, and it was loud and crowded.   However, we later realized most of them were just early arrivals for lunch. 

As soon as we were seated (before we even ordered our drinks or got any food!), the characters started coming around!   We saw them all in quick succession and then settled in to eat.   The food was basic breakfast buffet food, and the coffee was good!  (That's huge!)

About 2/3 of the way into the meal, Mickey started a napkin twirling song, which my 10 year old loved.  Even some of the grown ups joined in the fun.  :) 

I will say that, of all the character meals we have done, this one felt the most rushed and chaotic.  The characters didn't spend much time with us comparatively.   Given the price tag, I'm not sure this is a meal I would choose as my top option.   However, I do plan to give it another try at some point based on all the glowing reviews I have heard!










My daughter gave this input:


My son says: 

The food was great, and I liked seeing the Mickey characters.  If you go around your birthday you get a signed card and a cupcake.    You get to twirl your napkin with Mickey Mouse if you're there at the right time.

Akershus

Akershus Storybook Dining Royal Banquet Hall  is such a gem!  Almost like a little-known secret that can rock your world if you have little princess fans!  Many people want to do Cinderella's Royal Table to eat with the princesses, but it books up quickly, takes 2 table-service credits, and can be loud and a little rushed.  While the experience of eating IN the castle can be great, for those who can't or don't want to visit there, Akershus is an excellent choice!! Located in the Norway pavilion at Epcot, Akershus is tucked away and is absolutely delightful!   It is a buffet character meal (we like breakfast best), and various princesses come to your table to meet and greet.    They take their time, make it truly special, sign autographs and pose for endless photographs.  Periodically throughout the meal, they host a "princess parade," where kiddos can go around the restaurant with their favorite princess, waving to the other gu...

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

When we visited Walt Disney World in 2016, my kids discovered a fun, interactive game called Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.   This game combines role-playing with cards (think Pokemon, Magic, etc.).   Each day when you enter the park, you can visit the "fire station" and request a set of cards for this game.    The Cast Members there will set you up for the game, which is a virtual "battle" against villains in Magic Kingdom.   You visit hidden portals throughout the park and cast spells using your various cards in an effort to help Merlin protect the Magic Kingdom from villains such as Hades and Maleficent.   Each time you cast a spell that is strong enough, you are given clues about which portal is next on your journey.   Some cards are "stronger" than others, and spell cards can be combined to strengthen them.    There are several different missions, ranging from easy to hard.  As you progress through the diff...

Magic Shots!

Image
When you purchase the Disney Photopass Memory Maker along with your ticket and resort purchase, you have Disney photographers waiting to take as many family photos as you want on property.   Photographers are stationed with MOST characters in the park (except at character meals), as well as in prominent locations such as in front of the castle at Magic Kingdom, the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom, and Spaceship Earth in Epcot.   A special feature of this package is "magic shots," which are photos with surprise "magic" in the photos when they are added to your account.  My kids have always loved Magic Shots, and this time they tried to "collect" as many as they could!   Most photographers won't do many magic shots unless you ask, but sometimes you get a fun, unexpected surprise!  On our last trip we "collected" magic shots!
