California Grill to debut new fixed price three course menu.

I disagree. You shouldn’t be allowed to tie up space to order dessert. Restaurants are hard enough to get into. They don’t need guests taking up tables for dessert.

The fact that restaurants are too hard to get into is completely, totally, utterly, 100% Disney’s fault. None of the responsibility for the situation - or the responsibility to fix it - falls on guests.

The lack of restaurant capacity isn't the diners' fault.

doesnt Matter. Disney still needs to eliminate the those taking up space. The easiest solution is the fixed menu pricing. This way it eliminates plate sharing and those just ordering 1 dessert and staying for an hour. It’s a restaurant not a fireworks viewing area.

You’re arguing the wrong side of this argument

Just because you think it's the wrong side, doesn't mean it is.

Then perhaps they should free up some decent viewing areas.

Oh wait...

there are plenty of viewing areas in the park.

If you'd read my previous comments, you'd see that I agree that people who go and stay beyond a reasonable amount of time are jerks.

You mean the ones reserved for parties?

It’s beyond that. Going up and ordering just dessert is also part of the problem. California Grill is a signature restaurant, and isn’t meant for coffee and dessert. Those not ordering meals are part of the problem. And it looks like Disney is finally going to address the problem.

It’s both.

It is. As are many restaurants around world showcase.

By the way many people go to the California grill for drinks and desserts and watch the fireworks outside - best view in my opinion.

There are plenty of viewing locations in the park and you know it. Only two areas in Magic Kingdom are reserved for dessert parties

A person paying for food that they then eat is not a "problem". The problem is that Disney doesn't have enough restaurant capacity in general.

What a weird obsession some people have with people ordering dessert. If I order a dessert and a cocktail I’m paying just as much as someone who orders a vegetarian entree and a water.

Apparently not anymore. People are free to do whatever is allowed; Disney is free to respond. Some people will like the change and others won't.

There’s decent viewing areas hundreds of other places, including the theme park they’re being shown in. Just because people want to watch them from up high doesn’t mean Disney has to to give them a table for hours

Please see my previous comments. I don't think people should occupy tables for hours.

I agree. It all comes down to what Disney intended for Cali Grill. I honestly don't believe they ever intended it to be a coffee and dessert spot with included fireworks viewing. I guess we'll know for certain when the new menu comes out.

But that’s what’s happening unfortunately
