What we loved:
The time with the characters

What we didn't love:
The birds and service

The reason you go to Chef Mickeys is the one-on-one time with the main Disney characters - not the food. I get that. We went for the breakfast buffet. The food was fine. I dont really have anything to complain about when it comes to the food. The characters were great. I felt like they spent a good amount of time at our table and our son. They didnt seem rushed. BUT and this is a big but and in no way is this an exaggeration I was extremely unhappy with the service and the BIRDS! The Contemporary is a wonderful hotel. And yes, it is neat that the Monorail goes through the hotel, but there is nothing blocking birds from coming in. After we were seated in the restaurant, I went to the buffet to get food for our 2 year-old. While I was away from the table, birds pooped on the table, the seats and on my husband seated at the table. When I got back, my husband went to the restroom to clean up and I asked one of the employees, who was sweeping, if there was some way to scare away the birds that were perched above our table. She left and I never saw her again. A few minutes later, our waiter appeared. He put a napkin over the poop on the table and said he would come back to clean it up. That was the first and last time anyone acknowledged what had happened. No apology, no effort to scare away the birds - nothing. The birds were eating food off the floor and they were perched over the buffet. The buffet was covered enough that the birds werent getting into the food. We spent the whole meal watching out for the birds, making sure they werent perched over us and, after flying by, that there wasnt poop on the table or our food. I only wish we would have complained before we left, but we were so over the restaurant we just wanted to leave.
