Chef Mickey's May 1997 (Part 1 of 2)

One of my family's longtime favorite breakfast restaurants at Walt Disney World, Chef Mickey's, will be the feature of our next two post's here at The Amusement Blog! 

What makes this round of pictures special? These pictures, from May 1997, highlight Walt Disney World in the middle of its 25th Anniversary Celebration: no Animal Kingdom open just yet and a crazy cake castle to be found in the middle of the Magic Kingdom!

This anniversary was a very memorable one to me in particular as this was my first visit to Walt Disney World, a trip that would add a lot of fuel to my theme and amusement park interest and passion. 


Today we find ourselves at the entrance of the Contemporary Resort where we can see the great 25th Anniversary logo in action. Why Walt Disney World hasn't celebrated its 30th, 35th, and 40th anniversaries is beyond me!

A great logo if you ask me!

And now, we move upstairs a bit, and find ourselves at the gateway to a delicious breakfast buffet at Chef Mickey's. This area has changed a little bit over time but for the most part can still be enjoyed in mostly the same way that it was back in 1997.

90's Outfits man, so crazy!

It's crazy that think that at this time Walt Disney World was only 25 years old. This past October (October 2011) the entire resort turned 40!

Be sure to check back tomorrow, I've got four great pictures of the Disney characters dressed in chef and kitchen garb straight from Chef Mickey's 1997, and as always, thanks for stopping by!
