    Hi! I have dining reservations at the California Grill at 7:30pm. Where exactly do you check in and if I wanted a table with a window view, what time should I get there to make that request? Is 7:30 a good time to view the fireworks?

    Hi Bill!

    The check-in area for the California Grill is on the second floor of the Contemporary Resort, right next to the main escalators.  You really won't have any problems finding the check-in area as there are a lot of signs, but if you do, any Cast Member should be able to help you.

    You should definitely make your request when you check-in and 7:30 is a great time for fireworks at 9:00.  Just be sure to check the time of the Magic Kingdom fireworks for the night you are visiting.  You can watch the fireworks from inside the California Grill or from outside on their private balcony.  Also, if the fireworks isn't until late, you can finish dinner, go shopping in the Contemporary, and then return to the California Grill later to watch the fireworks from their private balcony (just be sure to save your receipt).

    The California Grill is one of my favorite Table Service restaurants at Walt Disney World.  Enjoy!
