We ran into some difficulties when trying to make a reservation for Chef Mickey’s.
Since Chef Mickey’s first reopened back in July, several experiences at the restaurant have been operating differently than prior to the closure — including a switch from buffet-style dining to family-style meals, and the lack of characters at the restaurant. However, Disney has announced that characters will be returning to Chef Mickey’s on December 16th, and reservations for character dining were set to open for character dining today.
