About California Grill
Perched on the Contemporary's top floor, this Signature restaurant pairs market-driven Californian cooking and sushi with sweeping views over Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom. Dinner is a three-course prix fixe, and the wine program has earned Wine Spectator recognition. The ultimate splurge for couples and foodies, especially when timed to watch the fireworks from the observation deck.
How hard is it to get a table?
Very hard to bookCalifornia Grill is one of the hardest reservations at Walt Disney World. Tables are usually gone within minutes of opening at the 60-day mark, so most people get in through a cancellation.
Tips for getting a table
- Book a table about 30-60 minutes before Magic Kingdom fireworks; diners can return to the observation deck to watch with the show's music piped in.
- Smart attire is required, so skip the swimwear and tank tops.
- Fireworks-time slots go first; earlier seatings are noticeably easier to land.
