Hi Brent, and welcome to planDisney!
I can tell you from experience that your stay at
Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be nothing short of amazing! Congratulations on your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort stay. The location is not only ideal but the theme and decor are truly “Incredible.”
For an unforgettable view of the
Happily Ever After fireworks from
California Grill, I recommend making a dinner reservation about an hour and a half before the start of the performance (be sure to check the schedule). This would give you time to enjoy your meal before you view the fireworks. If you get a later reservation, do not worry. You can always arrive at the California Grill check-in desk to inform the Cast Member of your reservation time, and they will let you know how to proceed so that you can enjoy the show from the observation deck before your meal. Either way, you will love the entire experience.
If you need any additional assistance before your arrival, please let us know how we can help.
Have a magical meal!
Raquel
