The pandemic caused a few shutdowns of some favorite dining locations around Walt Disney World Resort, but with time, they have slowly come back and reopened for the public! Announced today, three locations have announced they will be making their triumphant return, and we’re so excited to go back out and see what offerings they will have going forward!
Chef Mickey’s Dinner
On May 16, Chef Mickey’s will offer an all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style dinner that will include a selfie or waving hello as Mickey Mouse and friends will make appearances in each of the dining rooms. Guests can take home a souvenir with character signatures.
The dinner menu will include items like “Chef Mickey’s Caesar,” citrus-poached shrimp salad, and assorted bread; main courses of gnocchi, roasted garlic potato Gratin, plant-based faro wheat fried rice, prime rib, roasted turkey, and salmon; and an assortment of sweets. Kids can enjoy mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, turkey corn dog nuggets, and more.
Cape May Café
Cape May Café at Disney’s Beach Club Resort is set to reopen on May 18! The restaurant will serve breakfast and dinner, but Minnie’s Beach Bash Character Breakfast and the Seafood-and-More Dinner Buffet will not return at reopening.
The all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style breakfast menu will feature pastries (including the layered crispy, cream-filled “Lobster Tail”), omelets, and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse waffles. Dinner will include house-made Parker House rolls and cornbread, a seafood boil with a variety of fresh seafood, The Turf Platter with steak and chicken, and lobster mac and cheese.
Bookings for Cape May Café and dinnertime at Chef Mickey’s open on May 7.
Tusker House Restaurant
The character dining location at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will reopen this summer as well. During the modified character experience, guests will enjoy family-style entrees inspired by African dishes and can get photos of Donald Duck and friends, dressed in their safari outfits. More details soon about the menu.
As always, be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates from Disney World.
