¡Hola Marcia!
Welcome to planDisney! Congratulations on planning your 2023 vacation to
Walt Disney World! Planning ahead is what we do best! It gives us plenty of time to pay off our resort and tickets, and begin looking at new experiences and attractions. We are eagerly awaiting the opening date for TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom, and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening in the summer of 2022!
Marcia,
California Grill has been one of our favorite places to kick off our Walt Disney World vacation. If reserved at the right time, you can enjoy a view of Disney Enchantment right from your table. Currently, California Grill is offering a Prix Fixe dining menu in celebration of the 50th Anniversary. We do not know when the menu will return to standard a la carte offerings as of yet. The Lounge area is now considered seating at the bar, and at the moment there are minimal a la carte food options such as sushi rolls and flatbread pizza. Bear in mind that it is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so wait times may be greater than normal.
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
Malanie
