MICE Showcase Media Tour
I was part of a MICE Showcase Media Tour, which was organized to familiarize journalists with the world-class facilities that Hong Kong Disneyland has to offer organizers of meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE) as well as wedding planners.
Both the Hong Kong Disneyland theme park and the three Walt Disney Hotels located nearby were included in the tour.
Our group comprised journalists, food critics, and travel bloggers from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
We spent a total of three days and two nights at the Hong Kong Disney resort.
Hong Kong Dinner Buffet
We had dinner at Chef Mickey on the first night of our media tour, following an exciting day at Hong Kong Disneyland, where we took in performances of The Lion King and Moana: a Homecoming Celebration and the We Lucky Mickey! projection show on Main Street U.S.A.
There were stations for salads and soups as well as for hot and cold dishes.
Western grilled meats and seafood, European baked goods, Chinese barbecues, Cantonese dim sum, Indian curries, Italian pizzas from wood-fired ovens, Japanese sushi, and other national cuisines were also on display.
There were stations for desserts, petite fours, and ice cream.
There was a special “all you can drink” beer promotion, with a choice of three beers.
The Ambiance
The dining room’s design was inspired by Hollywood’s Golden Age, with lots of chrome and plenty of playful Art Deco touches.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy looking for the Hidden Mickeys, which are hidden in murals and mosaics throughout the eatery

Signed chef’s hats are sometimes given to kids during Character Dining at lunch or dinner.
The Verdict
I dined at Chef Mickey at a dinner with an entourage of about 15 people, and it was a very nice environment for a large group.
The surrounding were well lit, spacious, and whimsical. Because it was a week night, it was not crowded.
There was a good selection of dishes from the four corners of the earth. I particularly liked the yummy Thai salads and the free flow of beer.
