Nestled atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort, with sweeping panoramic views of Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon, lies a dining experience that transcends mere food—it’s a culinary journey infused with elegance, innovation, and the unmistakable magic of Disney. Welcome to Disney’s California Grill, where every dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and every moment is infused with wonder.
Once upon a before-time, before COVID and the world shut-down, California Grill boasted an eclectic and well-groomed a la carte menu. Today, things look a bit different – not bad, just different. For $89 per adult (ages 10 and up) and $39 per child (ages 3 to 9), your dining experience will be crafted with your choice of three courses. Each course has a variety of delectable selections that remind me of those before-times.
From the moment you step into Disney’s California Grill, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of sophistication and charm. The sleek, modern décor and warm ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

Innovative Cuisine and Legendary Wine
The menu is a testament to innovation and creativity. Helmed by talented chefs who draw inspiration from California’s diverse culinary landscape, each dish is a masterpiece of flavors and textures. Start your meal with the signature Sonoma Goat Cheese Raviolo, a delightful blend of tangy goat cheese, basil-saffron pasta, tomato broth and mushroom ragout. For the main course, indulge in the Oak-fired Filet of Beef or the Florida Red Snapper with farro risotto, eggplant fondants, peppadew emulsion and picked pearl onions, both expertly prepared and bursting with flavor.
The wine list at California Grill is a meticulously curated selection that complements the restaurant’s innovative cuisine. Most wines hail from California and are hand-picked to pair harmoniously with the restaurant’s menu. With knowledgeable sommeliers on hand to offer recommendations and guidance, exploring the wine list is inviting and adventurous.
