I know the servers will be happy to hear this as well as guests.

There's a solution to your objection. If it says buffet, don't eat there. Buffets are great for picky children that will only eat a few items.

Wow, who could have thought of that as an option....

Some buffets, like Boma, are great for adults who like a taste of everything offered (especially if you like the more unusual offerings).

Boma is a great example, as it's loved by both my wife and I who eat everything and my vegetarian parents. Something for everyone.

And I almost believed Bob Iger would fix things when he said that Disney had become too expensive. LOL.

If only people knew the true bobby…

Why would they specify only ranch dressing on the salads? Weird.

Now that RCID is gone, can we blame DeSantis for all price increases going forward?

While we preferred Chef Mickey's breakfast buffet over the Covid-era family style dining (never a fan of CM dinner), we won't be dropping $51pp for the experience. I'm sure it'll still be wildly popular and be a hard to get ADR, so they won't be missing us.

I'm not sure I can eat $55's worth of breakfast foods. Even if I stuck to $1 eggs, that's 4 dozen plus maybe a piece of sausage.

$51 is way too much for breakfast I can't eat that many Mickey waffles. Uncle Iger help me out here...
Is it because of the payout package Bobby C Big Bucks received on the way out ??? FYI...Your local Wawa has any Sizzli's 2 for $5 for a limited time.. if your interested or just visit a Publix before you enter the park

for 39 bucks you can get your own mickey waffle iron and another 10 will get you 2lbs of the same Golden Malted mix that they use.

Crossing $50 for breakfast feels like a big deal.

One dressing to rule them all (and help with the margins)

Price is expensive because chef mickeys is a character dining experience. It's a 1 and done experience for most. We have done breakfast and dinner there. Liked the buffet much better than family style. Glad buffet is back. Much more variety for the price point lol. I love to eat so I definitely get my money's worth. If you have kids it's well worth doing a character dining experience. Spend some extra $ and enjoy the kids expressions seeing their favorite disney characters up close while they eat. Not to mention the pics you can take now. Well worth the money in my eyes to experience with the family.
