The California Grill

Ultimate Guide to Magic Kingdom, From Disney Experts

"For fireworks viewing without the crowds, I like dining at The California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort because its viewing deck pipes in the show’s sound, offering a convenient and elevated way to watch Happily Ever After. It’s a nice splurge if you want a quieter viewing experience." - Jacqueline Dole Jacqueline Dole Jacqueline Dole is a food and travel journalist based in Maine.
