Hi Jason! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
California Grill in
Disney's Contemporary Resort is my all-time favorite restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort! My husband and I have dined there many times, sometimes in celebration of a special occasion and sometimes just because it is delicious. We have always experienced wonderful service, tasty beverages, excellent food and perfect views of Magic Kingdom Park's fireworks displays while dining there.
Every time we go, my husband begins his meal with a sushi roll (usually the California Combination Roll or the Spicy Kazan Roll) and since we often have the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan, I can say that it has always been included on the plan as an appetizer for us. Personally, I can't bring myself to order any other appetizer than the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli ... it is SO good! When you are seated at your table, let the Cast Member know you are on the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan and he or she will be able to walk you through the menu and let you know if there are any exclusions.
Enjoy your upcoming vacation, Jason! Please visit us again with any other questions you may have. Happy eating!
