Chef Mickeys

Hi!! I really want to get a dinner reservation at Chef Mickeys for dinner Nov. 6th, but 8:50pm is the only available time? Is there a chance something will open up? I was thinking about calling instead of looking online.

that's basically the start of the holiday season for Disney so I would cross my fingures ... , and do a little happy dance and maybe something will come open..

Never give up! Even when we didn't have a reservation a head of time, people cancel plus the no shows!
However since Disney is now charging for no shows, it may be less. I am not sure. Plans change and people cancel so you best bet, in my opinion is
1 call to see if they have any openings rather then the web,
2 the closer to your travel time, call daily,
3 ask the front desk to help you at check in to see if they have a reservation available
4 walk up and see what the wait time is and you will probably get in with some no shows.
Hopefully you can get in! Wishing you some magic to get what you want

Just keep checking the online system daily. We snagged a lot of last-minute reservations for our trip last month that opened up in the days and weeks before our departure. Be willing to be flexible about time, though!

We have an ADR there for November 12 at 815...even though it is a little later than what we wanted we figured, what the heck we can enjoy the Wishes and then go back to our resort! That day is our arrival day so no parks, plus we are only doing MK on a holiday party night, so w won't get to be in te park for Wishes...

Yea keep trying I was able to book boma on a spur of the moment kind of thing last year. I got it the motioning of the reservation. Ppl cancel all the time. If u can't get that there is other alternatives that is not much different.

R for bitthdays. I am not a fan of the food but cool atmosphere. My kids love not so much daddy.

We haven't done it yet, heard its okay but it seems like the place that is a must try...can't wait to watch Wishes from up there...

To add to this post, am I able to request a table close to the windows once I arrive or should I try and call the restaurant directly for that. It didn't give me anything to put that in the online reservation I made...

Are you thinking of Chef Mickeys or California Grille?

You can't see Wishes from Chef Mickeys...at least not very well...it's inside the Grand Canyon concourse.

No I know Chef Mickeys doesn't have a great of view as Cali Grille, but there is one area in the restaurant that you can actually see the fireworks from...hopefully we get seated near there...

Yea at the back of the buffet there is a window where u can see MK not the best view but any view is great to see wishes.

I would advise taking the 8:50. You can always cancel it if a better time opens up. What time are you looking for? Dinner at 8:50 is certainly late, but not horrible. I recently had a 7:00 am breakfast reservation. My son has medical issues that makes being up and ready at that time of day difficult. I approached the Host desk the day before and asked if they could accommodate us with a later time. I was told to just show up when I ready and they would still accept the reservation. Now that was going later, not earlier, so I'm not sure if that would matter.

Interesting. I did not know that.

I am not convinced you can see Wishes from Chef Mickeys either.

I know you can see MK so there is a chance.

It must be a limited view...and one I just have never seen...we are always somewhere else when wishes is going on...for our 30th anniversary last Sept. we watched Wishes from the outdoor observation deck on top just outside the Cali. Grille. Many people stay at their tables, and they dim the Cali Grille lights, but we go outside for an amazing view.
