    I've heard that it's a great experience to see the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom while dining at "California Grill". Can I request to eat at a specific time and have a great view of the fireworks when I make our reservations?

    Hi Rebecca!

    One of our favorite things to do and a "MUST see" on our list every year is to dine at the California Grill and watch Wishes from atop The Contemporary Resort. 

    You will want to first look up what time Wishes begins on the evening in which you want to dine. If Wishes is at 9:00 p.m. that night, I request that you make your Advanced Dining Reservation (ADR) for 8:00 p.m. so you can enjoy your meal and then go on the balcony after your meal to enjoy the fireworks. If Wishes is at 10:00, make your ADR for 9:00. Call 407-WDW-DINE to make your ADR. 

    This has always worked best for us so we can enjoy our meal first and then watch the beautiful display of fireworks from atop Cinderella Castle. There is nothing more beautiful in the world!

    Magically,
    Stacy
