 Hey friends today. We were hanging out at Disney's contemporary resort chef Mickey's just started serving dinner again So I made myself a reservation and decided to come and check it out If you have dined at chef Mickey's in the past This is a whole new experience the characters are still here and the food is Family style all you can eat, but a lot has changed. So Let's go do this. I have always been obsessed with the Contemporary I just think it's such a magnificent structure and I love just coming to the backside So if you actually walk through the main lobby and come out here, you get a whole new perspective and it's just beautiful And plus you get to take your pre chef Mickey Mickey photos. I mean that's a must-do if you're eating at chef Mickey's As most of you guys know you can walk around outside without a mask on at Disney But inside there is what you need to have your mask on until you get to your table And of course since we are in the contemporary We're gonna explore around a little bit until it's time for our reservation. I just love it in here so much Oh, wow, we just came up right as a monorail was going right through the timing couldn't be any more perfect What is that? Sorry that literally caught me off guard there. It's the first time I've seen all the construction inside the contemporary I've been gone away a couple of days. So wow Take a look at that though. I knew that it was actually in line for a refurb soon But I didn't know it was already gonna happen. I can't wait to see what their new rooms are gonna look like It's probably gonna be beautiful. I am so excited to see all the new food offering They're gonna have it chef Mickey's and we were actually a little bit early for our reservation So I'm gonna see if we can check in and maybe we can get seated a little bit early And Yeah, wow, I went in and asked and they said yeah, we can see you right now I thought for sure all the reservations were actually booked up because this is new. This is like brand new They just started it, but I guess it's our lucky day Take a look at the restaurant now. This used to be a buffet They still have the food set up kind of like a buffet. It's family style The only difference is the waiter or waitress is actually gonna bring it to you So you can eat all you want and I just love it in here. I love seeing all the different Mickey's probably the best thing about chef Mickey's Now that we're at our table We can take our mask off relax a little bit look over the menu The only thing we have to look at the menu wise is what to drink They do have some specially non-alcoholic drinks and of course beer and even some cocktails But everything else is already included in the price. It's family style They bring out your salads your desserts and even your entrees. It's kind of like a big platter you know most of the restaurants that do that like whispering candy cafe and I'm trying to think of some other ones that are actually like that But anyways, that's how they actually bring it out and it's not like Crystal Palace where you order per entree to get a limited amount of Those so you just get a big skillet over like Liberty tree. That's a good way to put it It is $55 a person that includes your drink and your salad your entree and desserts And then they have these specialty drinks ice coffees and hot chocolates and even the chef's specialties It's like a smoothie. So this one is Mickey and it's Strawberry and mango with whipped cream and Oreos and then this one is strawberry and vanilla with whipped cream and a chocolate Oh, I actually might like the mini one a little bit better because I don't like mango as much I think I'm gonna get it that looks fancy And of course while you enjoy your meal Mickey and all of his pals are gonna come out and they're gonna You know say hi and probably dance in the middle. I always love how they put on a show here Now it's going to be kind of like a socially distant meet and greet I think this is going to be one of the better ones compared to garden grill because that one is behind you So this one's going to be right in front of us and I'm going to probably like it a lot more Here is a look at everything that you're going to be getting the first course comes with a seasonal compost plant-based salad Chef Mickey Caesar and then a citrus poached baby shrimp along with a nice bread selection And they already brought that out take a look at how fancy this is Holy moly I'm one person and they brought all this out. I'm gonna be full like this is gonna be a challenge Oh, I can't wait to try the shrimp in there and then also the salad looks amazing. It looks like some nuts in there Along with my salad and bread service. They brought over my specialty drink And I'm excited to try this because this looks so good I'm sorry Mickey. You're my pal and all but Minnie's drink looks so much better Like I said, I like the vanilla and I like the strawberry. I'm not a big fan of mango and just look at this This is nice and it's only six dollars I can't wait to give this a test here Well that didn't work good I think it's a little thick Okay, much better Oh, that's good. That is nice I'm gonna drink that so fast. I wish these were free refills, but I know they're not that is really delicious Now we got to dive into this salad a little bit make a little avocado a little bit of shrimp a little shrimp Gotta get some of the the greens in there a nice mixture and a nice tomato. That's the way and here we go Oh All of the salads are actually pretty delicious, but my favorite has to be the shrimp I've already picked out and eat almost of the shrimp. It also has avocado in there This one has avocado as well And I don't know it just seems like a lot of salad for one person I mean not too many other people are probably out here dining by themselves And I'm pretty sure they bring out the same amount to each, you know guest and uh, I just got Lots of salads to go through But now I want to jump on over to the breads here because this looks good I mean the breads look phenomenal. You know do a little pull apart and then a bite Oh, yeah, the bread service is the best. Oh my lord. It's like garlic bread, honestly Very very nice soft and fluffy. This is a good start right here. I'm I'm impressed I mean I thought the salads were a little bit fancy like, you know, I mean I wasn't expecting all that And now the amazing bread I can't wait to see what the entrees are going to be like I do need to take it easy on the bread though because if I eat too much of the bread and salad You have no room for the entrees and they're bringing out a whole big skillet fault And I'll give you a look at everything that's going to come on the skillet and then we have dessert So you got to you got to pace yourself. You got to take it nice and easy Okay, so I ended up having another roll and I finished my salad But now we're going to take a look at what we're going to get with our entrees It looks like we're going to get some potato gnocchi comes with a roasted marshmallow cream Marshmallow roasted marshmallow, but it's roasted mushroom And then we're going to get a roasted garlic potatoes and then also oh some wheat fried rice. That sounds amazing Baby carrots asparagus. Yes. I'm like it all of this prime rib turkey salmon tofu Very nice I believe they had me up prime rib and asparagus, but the gnocchi That's just taking it to another level. I mean this is going to be something else Probably a little bit better than what we would normally see with the traditional skillet like, you know, the beef and turkey and even at whispering candy I mean whispering candy has a good selection of like different varieties of skillets, but this one is definitely unique I can't get enough of this so I Little brain freeze. Oh boy. I'm in trouble here Oh that rice looks so good though. There's the salmon. There's the gnocchi, correct? Wow, this is so much food. It is so much food. What am I gonna do? I can eat all this Or maybe I can All right Thank you So he said they don't do skilled down portions because everything is actually at the buffet. He just goes up and grabs one of each They're all plated that way Mickey and his friends are his pals are coming out Oh, here he comes here's blue dough There he is This is awesome So they're gonna come in like one at a time. Oh, that is so cool And they're actually spending like a good quality of time at each table friend Hi, Pluto. Gracie says hello Yeah, Gracie says hello I love it. Thank you Oh boy, I think we need to wait until we get all of our character interactions in like I don't want to get caught like mid-bite and then Mickey come in So like I'm gonna wait to eat I'm gonna wait But let's just take a quick look again at the food the prime rib right there looks perfect And it has some nice onions on there some turkey the baby carrots and look at that asparagus The rice is actually probably my most anticipated thing the noki too But I'm not too sure how I feel about the creamy mushroom sauce We'll see when we get there and then over here a nice helping of salmon And then the potatoes look a little mickey Fancy Mickey, right I love it. Thank you That was worth the wait mickey is such a chef. What a chef And I think we're gonna start off with the main skillet here No, we're not because Minnie is here now Thank you Minnie. Thank you Okay, we got to eat something or it's gonna get cold. I'm sorry it gets so excited when the characters come out First things first turkey. We got to go with the turkey. I feel like Disney's turkey game is kind of always the same So I'm excited to see if we have a different type of turkey here I think it's different. I like it. It's soft earth. Grating is definitely different. I like it And then of course we got to grab ourselves a little baby carrot. Oh, it's not a baby carrot I'm keeping my eyes peeled because the goof he's next so you have to be careful It's the best carrot I've ever had at Disney Wow, I like that a lot. Holy moly goopy and donald are coming Oh my lord That's what I'm talking about. Here's the man I love it. Here's the man goof. Thank you Okay back to the food carrots unbelievable best carrots I've ever had at Disney. I love the glaze So delicious and they're just like the perfect texture too Now we're gonna dive into this prime rib and this is looking good. I wish they had some hajou with it though I didn't see if I have a knife because I don't take that big bite, but some hajou would be wonderful There we go That is some good prime rib right there. Oh boy. I love it so much All right, now I gotta go with this rice because the rice look good He's coming back. We're in encore encore He ran back in one more time. That was great Everything has been exceptional so far. I've taken just like one little bite of each Just so I can kind of gauge what I'm gonna like the most But if there is something that you do like like for instance, if you liked more of the salmon or the prime rib You can get more of just the prime rib or just the salmon So that way you're not like over like, you know wasting food. This is just the preliminaries So you get what you get always to start off with I'm not a big fan of salmon from the get-go So normally I wouldn't ever try it, but if it's here, I have to try it I have to and this is something I've actually developed and learned when it comes to vlogging and doing all these amazing things Is because old me I wouldn't even touch that salmon But there were things I've eaten before that I didn't like that if I tried and made myself try it It was delicious. So you never know. Maybe this is the salmon that's going to change my mind We're going to find out in a second I'm a little nervous though Okay, here we go Did not change my mind So far my favorite things in order is prime rib carrots turkey asparagus gnocchi rice potatoes salmon Oh, I didn't even try this yet though. It's like a little rice cake a mickey rice cake. It looked like I always feel bad eating like mickey-shaped things and then kind of like destroying them But you always eat ears first Here comes pastry chef donald Hi through donald you the man. I love it Ha ha ha These carrots are so amazing Wow So not only do the characters come out so you can take the social dish and selfie But they also come out and do like a little performance as well And that's usually how chef mickeys was. Oh now they're all coming back around. Pluto's coming in to dance Ha ha ha ha Now mini is making her way in Look at his little paw spatula Oh, it's awesome. You know what my favorite thing about Pluto is his whiskers. They're so like like spree. I love it Okay, I think I did pretty Fair I mean the only thing I didn't really devour was the salmon I'm not a big salmon guy if I known that it was coming with salmon I would have said only bring me one piece But this is what they traditionally bring out just for everybody and I did pretty good I ate almost all my veggies. Oh, there's another carrot. I'm definitely going to be in that carrot Don't worry about that But overall I really really enjoyed the food here It was well beyond my expectation of what we were going to get if you are not a fan of mushrooms Be aware that there is a lot of mushrooms and all the different entrees, but you can't get it without mushrooms I'm just not too sure about the uh, no key though That's that's up in the air the prime rib has mushrooms on top of it as well But you could get that without the mushrooms. I know And leave no carrot behind Oh boy, it's not over yet. Here is the dessert and he brought out duplicates. Oh, what am I going to do here? That is a lot so I don't even know what to say right now. How am I going to eat all this? I love how I'm like, oh, how am I going to be able to eat all this? You know, I'm going to put a big dent on this dessert I mean, who are we trying to fool here? I don't know if I'll finish it all But I am definitely going to put a big dent in it and I think the first thing I'm going to dump into Is the cake and look it has a little tiny contemporary piece of chocolate. So Oh, here it is. I'm going to put that right on top of there And then perfect That is delicious a nice strawberry cake, but look at these little mickey domes here Those are oreos at the bottom. I wonder if it's cake on the inside. We're going to cut right through it Okay, here we go. Sorry mickey Oh, look at that It's not cake on the inside It's like a mousse but the oreos saw probably because the cake is sitting on top of it Oh Wow Okay, okay The best way to describe this Is if you dump your oreos and milk and get them nice and soggy and then you eat them afterwards But like there's no milk. It's like a soft chewy oreo with the chocolate mousse on top in the shape of a mickey You can't go wrong with that Okay, one to go and look at this one. It has a little chef mickey medallion right in there And I can't wait to try this. I think I'm gonna pick it up. It's kind of like a little apple pie Honestly, I don't know if it's an apple pie or not. I won't know until I actually bite into it. So My my miss american pie It's an apple pie It's an extraordinarily good apple pie. The desserts are a home run Look at that It looks like I've been here long enough that I'm going to catch the characters come back out And it's kind of like buying lunch at a buffet and staying for dinner So we're going to get like a second act. Here comes fluto. How funny is that? Tim, good job, man That's the way Oh, hello there, fluter. I like your whiskers Look at that. Look at this springiness I remember actually coming up to the buffet here and it was such amazing Desserts they had but now they got a lot stacked up here See all they do is just come up and grab it and take it to the table So there's no like separating it. So I mean if it's a big party, they probably bring out too But wow, this restaurant has changed a lot And with that I am full That is a lot a lot of food and I enjoyed every single bit of it Definitely the best character dining right now. Honestly out of everything that's about They are the most interaction and they come back and do that little performance I can't think of anything that's better right now than that. So I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We will see you next time Bye
