Oh fab!!! I just can't wait to be there!!! I'll be in magic Kingdom that day. How long do u reckon it would take me to get to contemporary hotel from magic Kingdom? It's first stop on monorail so I am assuming quite quickly?

we've done both breakfast & dinner. It's ok. My oldest loved it because he is such a picky eater and they had just about everything for him to pick over.
Ive got 2 fussy eaters so your comment is very reassuring!!! Its been a nightmare with ADR due to the pair of them.

I second this. 'Ohana is our must-eat-at every trip! Delicious! And it's close by Chef Mickey's (for the OP). Chef Mickey's is a festive place and great for children. I have a photo of my son at the self-serve ice cream candy dispenser. You can imagine that mess lol! I say eat there at least once.
Can I please as what "OP" is? Ive seen it mentioned in other posts and haven't been able to figure it out lol

don't i know it!!!! we went to ohana and he wouldn't eat anything but a few pieces of fruit. the rest of us loved it but it doesn't make sense to go if there is nothing he will eat
I can see my youngest living on pizza for 3 weeks with plenty of ice cream and my daughter will have lettuce lol I will remain calm though and smile through it lol

I always book it for an early breakfast (which is the hardest meal to screw up) right before a day at the MK.

Chef Mickey's is definitely good for at least ONE visit, particularly if you've never been. As far as the food goes, it's standard breakfast buffet fare (much like every other one on site), which isn't terrible but not particularly special either. As far as location, you can't beat it for being in the cool Contemporary Resort and close proximity to the Magic Kingdom. Atmosphere-wise, that's where it can be taken or left. Naturally, it's going to attract families with small children and that is primarily what you will be hearing - quite loudly - during your meal experience there. So if you are easily irritated by a lot of whining, crying kids you may not have too fun a time, but if it doesn't bother you, you'll be ok. The character experience is good, and you might even enjoy watching the kids have fun with them. So all-in-all, I'd recommmend it at least for first-timers. After that, I guess it depends on how you feel about it afterwards.

Festive is a good word for it. Very festive! Plus, there's the singing and waving of napkins. Again, festive. LOL

It is a must not for us. We find it overpriced and entirely too busy. If we want a meal with Mickey we go to Garden Grill.

Used to love Garden grill but last time we were there we were 10/15 mins before reservation at which point we were told they were running about 20 mins behind reservation time
We were not seated until an hour after the reservation time with no info to what was happening or on the times I did go and ask for any info I was told it won't be long. Not sure be going again

To answer your original question, yes it's worth it. I would strongly suggest doing it as a breakfast meal. The food is pretty decent and the character experience is amazing. I've been there the past 2 trips and will do it again.
When we were there the first time, I wore a T-shirt that had Mickey snickering on it and pointing to one side. The caption read "I'm with Goofy". As you can probably guess, Goofy saw this shirt and the shenanigans began. He went around and dragged the other characters to see the shirt and they made a big production of it. I have a picture of Goofy and I pointing in each other's direction and it was great.

I agree with this sentiment. Loved the character experience but the food definitely left something to be desired. I would say if you have kids give it a try and see how you like it, but there are better character options out there, imo.
