Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Ariel!
Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by, and we are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to
Disney World! It looks like you will be arriving in just a few weeks...YESSSSS! Let the countdown begin! We know you are going to have the most MAGICAL time ever!
What a great question! I just spoke with a very helpful Cast Member, and she just informed me that the
California Grill Lounge is currently open. There is not a specific menu selection for the lounge area, but you can order from the restaurant's regular menu. What I did find out is that you must have a reservation to California Grill to access the lounge area. Now, the AWESOME thing is that you can enjoy the lounge and watch the incredible
Happily Ever After fireworks if you had reservations for an early dinner that day. That means you could make reservations at 5:00 p.m. for California Grill, go do something else with your family, and then head back to the California Grill Lounge before the fireworks begin. NOTE: I just checked reservations for California Grill during your arrival date timeframe, and there are STILL early reservations available!
As you get closer to your arrival date, please make sure you check out
The Disney Parks Blog for the latest and greatest information regarding all things Disney! There are so many surprises Mickey and his pals are planning for special friends...just like you!
If you have other questions, please let us know. We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
