2 more Disney World restaurants reopening, Chef Mickey expanding menu

Walt Disney World is expanding its dining options as more hotels reopen. This includes more character dining at Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary Resort and the reopening of Cape may Café Disney Beach Club Resort and the Tusker House Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Here are some specifics:

Chef Mickey’s Dinner

Starting May 16, Chef Mickey’s will offer an all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style dinner. This will include “no touch” character appearances, meaning you can snap a selfie or waive hello as Mickey Mouse and some of his favorite pals make surprising appearances in each of the dining rooms. Guests will take home a souvenir with character signatures and colorful artwork.

The dinner menu will include “Chef Mickey’s Caesar,” citrus-poached shrimp salad, and assorted breads; 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 to top off the meal. Little ones in your family can enjoy mac and cheese, chicken nuggets and turkey corn dog nuggets.

Cape May Café 

Starting May 18, Cape May Café at Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopens. The restaurant reopens with some old favorites and new changes. 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 popular staples like pastries (including the layered crispy, cream-filled “Lobster Tail”), omelets, and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse waffles. Highlights from dinner will include house-made Parker House rolls and corn bread, a seafood boil with a variety of fresh seafood, The Turf Platter with steak and chicken, and – my personal favorite – lobster mac and cheese. 

Bookings for Cape May Café and dinnertime at Chef Mickey’s open on May 7.

Tusker House Restaurant

The restaurant will reopen this summer. No specific date has yet been announced. During the modified character experience, guests will enjoy delicious family-style entrees inspired by the flavors of Africa and can snap photos of Donald Duck and friends, dressed in their safari best as they promenade through the restaurant.
