Welcome to planDisney, Flo!
We are thrilled you have stopped by with your Walt Disney World Resort planning question. It is great to hear from you. I hope you are having an excellent time planning your magical vacation. You've picked a wonderful time to visit.
California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort is amazing. It has a stunning view, especially around sunset and the food is incredible. Great choice!
I took a look at the
calendar for Magic Kingdom Park for October 1, and it appears that it is the last night for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Since
Happily Ever After is not scheduled that night, due to the party, unfortunately, there will not be fireworks until 10:00 PM for Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular.
If you have your heart set on watching the fireworks while you dine, I suggest trying to get a reservation for another night, or perhaps rescheduling your dining time to enjoy a later dinner that night if reservations are still available. While it is a wonderful site to see, the meal at California Grill is exceptional even without the fireworks view.
Happy planning, Flo! I hope you have a fantastic visit and if there is anything else we are able to assist you with, please come back and let us know.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
