Motasem, I love that you stopped by planDisney with this question. Now, I have "California Dreaming" playing in my head. One of my favorite Disney memories ever was dinner at
California Grill with my
planDisney friends. It is a truly magical place to dine, with a view of Cinderella Castle and Space Mountain across the horizon and a meal that will live in your dreams for days.
California Grill serves a
three-course meal with a choice of a Market Inspiration appetizer, Chef's Journey entrée and Sweet Creations. I would share some recommendations, but I think across our group, we had everything on the menu, and everyone was raving about their meal.
For your question, I checked with a Cast Member, as California Grill is a prix fixe restaurant. She shared that every Guest will be charged, regardless of whether they dine. I guess this is not the news you wanted to hear. I will say the meal is amazing! And did you know if your reservation is early in the evening, you can return to the lounge to watch
Happily Ever After from this stunning location? Just head back to the host stand on the second floor, and they will escort you upstairs in time for the fireworks.
If you change your mind about California Grill, you can
modify your dining reservation as long as it is at least two hours in advance. I checked dining for June 1 for a table of 4 and found availability for
Narcoossee's at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The
menu is à la carte, and like California Grill, it has a spectacular view of the fireworks.
Motasem, I hope you have the dining experience of your dreams. If you have any other questions, please come see us again at
planDisney.
Magic Awaits!
