I have eaten at Chef Mickeys with my family for breakfast and dinner on many occasions, the last being for breakfast on July 2nd. There were positives and negatives to the dining experience.
My party of 6 waited about 20 minutes after our 11 am reservation time. No big deal, we weren't in any hurry.
We were seated at a table next to the window, facing the Magic Kingdom ( in the very back of the restaurant). The location was perfect. Unfortunately, the restaurant was filthy. I have never seen so much food all over the floor. The staff really should have done a better job with keeping things clean. The chairs were sticky and the table we were seated at wasn't wiped down properly.
The buffet was plentiful and was constantly being replenished. Everything we chose to eat tasted good. The hot items were hot and the cold items were chilled. The Mickey waffles were soooo yummy, as was the breakfast pizza.
The charaters were as awesome as ever. They spent a great deal of time with my kids (13, 13, 17 and 21). Our pictures are priceless!!!
The waitress surprised me and my husband with a cupcake to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. That was a nice touch.
I really wanted to give Chef Mickeys a 10. I just couldn't get over how dirty it was.

We make minimum 3 reservations here every trip. My girls are older and yes the characters are great, but we come for the food. We have eaten almost everywhere that serves breakfast @ Disney and Chef Mickeys is #1. Great experience and great food. Any request you have they will fulfill it. We are home now from our trip and I already miss the food here. Enjoy for those who will be eating here soon :)!

Went to Chef mickey 3 times on our last trip maybe because we are on the dining plan cost does not matter we loved it and I thought the pancakes are very good and the blintzes are very good to my kids are always begging to go back. Characters never rush their visits and always are funny. We never have had to wait long before sitting I feel Chef Mickey is a great Character choice and I feel food was very good.

We did Chef Mickeys for breakfast on our last trip and we were not thrilled with the food. The food was the same food served at any resort food court on Disney property. One would think that for $120 for three breakfast buffets there would be a better selection. If you are wanting to meet characters Crystal Palace is a much better value.

We went to breakfast at Chef Mickey's to celebrate my son's birthday on our last trip. There were a number of items to choose from including the standards (eggs, bacon, etc) as well as Mickey waffles (caramel sauce on the side), cheese blintzes, breakfast pizza, cheesy potatoes, and quiches. The fruit selection was good also. The food was okay in quality but could be better- eggs were very runny and almost watery in the buffet line and the pancakes were rubbery. It's true that sitting on a buffet affects food but those eggs were awful looking. Crystal Palace has far better food for breakfast.
On the plus side the characters and server were fanstastic. Each character came around and gave the children special attention. Minnie went out of her way to be gentle and not scare the baby. All posed for a number of pictures. Our server was quick, efficient, and kept us posted about which characters were on their way. She also brought a cupcake for my son's birthday.

Party of 10 ate here 3/26/2013. I was somewhat worried with all the negatives about the food. I was VERY pleased with the food. Everything tasted great. An update to the decor is needed though and the only reason I gave a 9.

We had breakfast at Chef Mickey for the fourth time this past February 28th. We are two adults and one pre-teen. We always have our first breakfast at WDW at this location. We come here for the fun atmosphere and the character interaction which can't be beat. The staff has always been very nice and the breakfast food very good. There really is something for everyone, even smoked salmon and capers which I alway have. Of course, if you're going to do a math equation as to value of food to money spent then you may as well not dine anywhere in Disney. Rather, go for the atmosphere, the fun, the character interaction which is priceless and you will know that your money was well spent.

I dined here on Fri March 9th for breakfast.
Had a 7am ressie, so the restaurant was practically empty.
They took my picture first with the statue of Chef Mickey. I had photopass + so they gave me my picture at the table no additional cost.
**Not sure why they don't have your pic taken with the real Chef Mickey...At Donald's Safari breakfast at Tusker House in AK, you get your pic taken with the real safari Donald.**
I don't go here for the food, I go for the fun atmosphere, and character dining.
I was celebrating my birthday. My server was bright and bubbly...like someone I knew for years. Since I was dining alone, she made it a point to be around when the characters circulated through so she could take pictures for me.
I'm not a picky eater, so the buffet breakfast was fine for me. They had lots of fresh fruits, and Mickey waffles which are my favorite.
The characters were fun and they treated me like a kid again. I had a really fun meal! I love the napkin twirling!
After my meal I hopped on the monorail to Epcot for Rope Drop!

My DH and I arrived for breakfast on 2/23 about 20 minutes before our reservation, and were seated almost immediately. The staff was friendly and explained everything to us, as we had never eaten there before. Neither one of us were very impressed with the food on the buffet. It was ok if you were paying about $20/pp, but for the price I thought the quality would be a lot better. The characters were great and we got our picture taken with all of them. Would probably stick to the buffet at the Crystal Palace though.
