Hello Lisa,
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for asking such a great question about your upcoming October 2021 vacation to the most magical place on earth!
Oh, how I love dining within the beautiful, modern elegance of the
California Grill at
Disney's Contemporary Resort! I have so, so many happy memories from over many, many yEARs of spending quality time enjoying fine food within the company of dEAR family, and good friends at this iconic Disney restaurant.
I'm actually enough of a Disney veteran to remember enjoying "
Broadway at the Top" when the California Grill was known as the
Top of the World Restaurant as featured in this past Disney Parks Blog article!
So with this in mind, Lisa, I can totally understand your wishes to secure
Advanced Dining Reservations at the California Grill during your upcoming October vacation!
At this time, I'm happy to share that the talented Chefs at the California Grill are putting the finishing touches to a special 50th anniversary dining experience as part of
The World's Most Magical Celebration which begins on October 1st, 2021.
Therefore, my best suggestion would be for you to keep a
very keen Ear on the
Disney Parks Blog for any updates concerning the re-opening of Advanced Dining Reservations for the California Grill.
Plus, I would also highly recommend that you keep checking back to the California Grill webpage just in case Advanced Dining Reservations do
magically open up and you can book right away via your
My Disney Experience account.
Lisa, I hope that I've been able to provide a little insight for you today. If you should have any further questions regarding your
Autumnal October vacation to Walt Disney World Resort, then please do pop back to
planDisney. I'm always happy to assist wherever I can!
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
