This post is going to be about the different dining experiences we did for our November 2016 trip! This was the first time we've been to T-Rex Cafe and Chef Mickey.
T-Rex Cafe is located in Disney Springs, formally known as Downtown Disney. It is the same concept of Rainforest Cafe, but with Dinosaurs. We went to T-Rex Cafe for a late lunch/early dinner around 4pm. We didn't have a reservation, so we just walked up and only had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table. We got seated in the underwater area with the aquariums, which was probably a good thing as my kids thought it was a little too scary for them.
Overall the experience was great, the food was good too, but I don't know if we will eat there again. Personally I prefer Rainforest Cafe instead if we were wanting that type of dining. We didn't pay too much, but I would much rather spend the money at another Disney restaurant.
The other dining experience we had this trip was Chef Mickey for breakfast. This was definitely a favorite! We paid out of pocket and while it was a high price, we are paying for the experience. I recommend doing Chef Mickey at least once, but we would only do it again if we were on the dining plan. Chef Mickey is a character buffet at the Contemporary Resort. The buffet had basic breakfast items and lots of yummy pastries. The characters that make an appearance there are Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto.
Disclaimer: I don't claim to be an expert, but I do feel like I have gone enough times to give adequate reviews. Also, these are just my personal opinions from my experiences, so please keep that in mind when reading my reviews. I would always suggest you experience these things for yourself!

We had an amazing experience here. We couldn't have asked for a better table. We had an amazing view of the castle and enough room for our crazy boys to run around without bothering anyone. I do think the characters rushed by each table, but I did noticed they did stay a little longer for tables with kids. One of my boys had to go potty, so he missed Donald, but the cast members were amazing and brought Donald back to our table when he came back! They also do this cute little parade dance every 30 minutes or so. Since we were celebrating our 5th anniversary, your server brought us cupcakes to celebrate!
