Hi Lori,
Like you, I'm eagerly watching for advanced dining reservations for the new California Grill to open, hoping to get a spot during the first week in December for my husband's birthday.
Just this week, the Disney Parks Blog gave a
sneak preview of some of the desserts planned for the new menu. The blog also affirmed that reservations are not yet being accepted. There is no announced date for the grand reopening.
My best advice is to keep an eye on the blog and the Disney website for an announcement. That's what I'll be doing, too.
Meanwhile, can I suggest some of our other favorite special occasion restaurants? We often celebrate birthdays and our anniversary at the California Grill, but occasionally shift to
Artist Point,
Jiku or
Narcoossee's and have never been disappointed.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help as you plan your Walt Disney World vacation. My Moms Panel friends and I love to share our thoughts and advice with other guests. Enjoy!
Wilma
