California Grill Reservation and Fireworks

[DrKnut]

Hi!

Just one short question for the California Grill: I would like to make a reservation for dinner in october 2016 to see the fireworks Wishes also. However, when I try to make the reservation 180 days in advance the schedule for the fireworks is not available yet.
It seems that the fireworks is scheduled for the next five months only (for example I can make a reservation now for 10/02/2016, but the firework is scheduled until 09/07/2016).
Can I be sure that the fireworks takes place every day in october, especially on sunday evening?

Thanks!

I believe most Sunday's in october have MNSSHP scheduled, so you will have wishes as a part of that.

I checked september (the month before) and there is no wishes on most fridays, sundays and thursdays.
Can this be the rule for october as well?

Meanwhile I have checked the cancelation policy for the california grill.
As far as I understand I can cancel my reservation up to one day before the reservation for free.
Now I know what I have to do.

We are going late Sept and early October. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday all have Halloween Party so no Wishes. Hallowishes (Halloween party fireworks) is expected to be at 10pm, but not confirmed by Disney yet.
For my September dates that don't have Halloween parties, have a 9pm park close with 9pm Wishes. There are no firework times announced for October, but as park close is currently 9pm I am expecting 9pm Wishes same as the previous week.

I booked Cali Grill for 7:25pm (no other times available before 9pm) on the assumption Wishes is at 9pm. If that changes I will be annoyed and trying very hard to get a new reservation!

Last October we had a 9.00pm, our food came about the time of the fireworks. I think your 7:25 will be fine. You should be just finishing eating so you can go out on the deck to watch them! And you probably won't get seated at 7:25!!

But can't you have two reservations for the same evening and then cancel one of them when the date&time for the fireworks has been scheduled?

They'd have to be pretty far apart. The Disney system no longer allows you to have 2 bookings if they overlap in any way.

No, they prevent this so restaurants don't get screwed by guest

Thanks so far!
