Hi Kathy,
The
California Grill is one of my favorite restaurants at Disney World. There is nothing better than having a decadent three-course meal followed by an epic view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks! I am excited that you will be dining there soon and hope you love it as much as my family does.
The
prix fixe menu does include non-alcoholic beverages in the price except for specialty beverages that may be offered. If you are interested, there is also a wine pairing option that can be added to your meal for an additional fee. We have added the wine pairing a few times and the options are perfectly paired with your meal choices.
When dining at California Grill, you will get to choose what you want for each of the three courses from some truly fabulous options. This menu changes seasonally but some of my favorites are the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli, Oak Grilled Filet of Beef, and whichever flavor of mousse they are serving at the moment. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the options. We have tried several different things here and have loved everything.
If your dining reservation is earlier in the evening, make sure to keep your receipt and head back to the
Contemporary Resort right before it is time for the fireworks. We love to grab a drink from the bar and go outside on the balcony to enjoy a perfect view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks! It is a fabulous way to end any night.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
