Chef Mickey's is probably one of the more difficult quandaries I found myself in while planning. I've been there on a past vacation (with my immediate family -- no DH or kids) and liked it. I seriously considered it for the birthday party, especially since it would mean the other family members not "doing Disney" wouldn't have to pay park admission. (Although when we checked with them, they all said they kinda wanted to spend at least one day in the parks.) And I kept coming back to the fact that DS really *does* like Pooh...well, at least as much as a 6-month-old can like anything. But he does choose to "wrestle" his stuffed Pooh more than his stuffed Mickey.
And I did think about making it an additional character meal, but was worried that I was over scheduling for my family. Unfortunately, we are not breakfast people...we would be highly unlikely to make a morning ressie and if we did, the groaning, moaning, kicking and yelling that would have to occur that morning in order to make it happen would put a damper on our whole day.
(And that would be my **DH** doing the loudest groaning, moaning, kicking and yelling. )
So, as much as I hated to do it, I think we will have to save Chef Mickey for our next visit. DH's only restaurant request was the Garden Grill in Epcot because he remembers thinking the revolving restaurant was super cool when he was a kid. As I understand it, the meal is served family style versus a buffet, which works a little better for us since our kids are so small AND it turns out that's a Mickey character meal. When we learned *that*, it clinched the deal -- the kids will still have a Mickey experience and DH gets his restaurant request. (Of course, I was hoping to eat at the Coral Reef, but you can't win them all!)
Thank you so much for the suggestion, though. Chef Mickey will be at the top of our list for our next visit -- which I think will be much sooner rather than later!
