California Grill Question

Hi!

I know the California Grill offers great views of the MK fireworks, I was just curious -do they dim the lights and pipe in the fireworks soundtrack there like they do at Cinderella's Royal Table? Also, if we were to have priority seating for an earlier dinner and finish up right around the fireworks time, would we be allowed to stick around the lounge area to see the fireworks? Thanks everyone!

Karen

Yes, they do dim the lights and pipe in the sound from the fireworks.

If your meal is ending around the time of the fireworks, nobody will try to hurry you. Have coffee and dessert. Linger over your dinner -- you're paying a pretty price for it, afterall. You could certainly linger in the lounge if you wanted to, but a better place to view the fireworks is in the restaurant's outside viewing area.

You'll love the California Grill's food, by the way. It's one of the best restaurants in the state. Enjoy!

If you have a special occasion going on, be sure and let the PS people know.

Last year, we ate there for my DH birthday and they sat us at the window facing MK. It was fantastic.
