Hey there, Kim!
From one Rhode Islander to another, I’m so happy to welcome you to planDisney! I always love seeing fellow Guests from the Ocean State. How exciting that you’ll be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth just as the
holiday season kicks off! It’s one of my favorite times to visit, when the parks and resorts are decked out, and everything feels a little extra special.
How incredible that you snagged a dining reservation at
California Grill! The sweeping views are spectacular, and the food is just as wonderful. As you know, one of the perks of dining here is the opportunity to enjoy views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the observation deck.
I’m happy to let you know that even though your reservation is scheduled for after the fireworks begin that evening, you’ll still be able to access the observation deck. Just have your dining reservation confirmation number handy when you check in on the second floor of
Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and a Cast Member will escort you to the 15th floor so you can enjoy the views.
As a quick reminder, if you’ll be staying at a Disney Resort during your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase
Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before your check-in date. If you’re staying off property, you’ll be able to purchase them 3 days before each individual park day.
Kim, I hope this helps as you continue getting ready for your trip! It’ll be here before you know it. If any other questions come up along the way, please know you’re always welcome as can be here at planDisney.
Magical Wishes,
Kami
