    Coming for a special school trip and we have a dinner booked at the Sonoma Room in California grill. Can you tell me if we will have a view of the castle during our meal? I have read conflicting answers here that say we will

    Heigh ho! Heigh ho! It's off to school we go! Yolanda, I am so excited about your plans.  

    My kids start back to school today. Oh, how they wish their year were kicking off with a trip to Walt Disney World! I'm not sure if you can always count on your math teacher or if it's your English teacher who got this write, but whoever planned this dinner is in a class by themselves. I like their style!

    Speaking of style, let's talk about California Grill. This restaurant is at the top of Disney's Contemporary Resort. I had the most magical evening in the Napa Room with my planDisney friends, and it took my breath away! The meal, the fireworks, the memories... You have so much to look forward to!

    The Sonoma Room is another private dining room at California Grill. Like the Napa Room, it has floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views. I checked with a Cast Member since the website says it has a view of Bay Lake (but no mention of Magic Kingdom). They confirmed the view is of Bay Lake, and you will not be able to see the Magic Kingdom while in this room. You will, however, have access to the observation deck with Cinderella CastleSpace Mountain, and all the magic on the horizon.

    I know this is likely not the answer you hoped to hear, but I know your evening will still get top marks. The menu is amazing. Bay Lake is gorgeous, especially as the sunset brings out the colors of the sky. And watching fireworks from the observation deck is absolutely spectacular with an unobstructed view and the music piped in, so you don't miss a beat!

    Yolanda, I hope your school term ends the way it starts: A piece of cake! If you have any other questions, please come see us again at planDisney

    Magic Awaits!
