California Grill to debut new fixed price three course menu.

[castlecake2.0]

According to its webpage, California Grill will be unavailable befitting October 2nd to create “a special dining experience” for the 50th ... which starts the day before. Interesting and confusing choice.

Waiting for a $124.99 per person 3 course meal (without drinks) and you get a special 50th anniversary pin plus prime spot to see Enchantment

Incredibles Character Dining @ $149pp.

So take one of the more interesting table services on property and ruin it by transforming it into a $$$ generic pre-fix meal. Add some IP and you got the Bob Chapek special de jour.

I hope you can at least get an interesting plant based option

I can see Disney execs from all over the world taking over CG on Oct 1.

I am genuinely concerned about this one. I agree with others, based on past refurbs I see fixed (High price) dinning but low quality and yes even the Incrediables. I really hope my gut is wrong on this one as we Love to go to CG on Christmas Eve (and with our trip this year probably would have gone close to New Years Eve or before).

Interesting choice as it has no trouble booking up. I can see it becoming prix fixe to weed out people just going up for dessert and fireworks.

Very weird to take out in October...I wonder how long?

 

[Phicinfan]

One of the more popular out of park areas to watch fireworks and they close it after the first day of the new show?
One also wonders how long Wave will be closed, meaning very limited food options for those staying in the resort.

 

[HauntedPirate]

IF they add Incredibles or some other such nonsense… every restaurant is better with characters, right?!?!

 

[PolynesianPrincess]

California Grill is my favorite meal on property. If they change it too much (raising the prices to astronomical amounts, adding characters..) this is just going to be another thing on the long list of things Disney has changed for the worse in the last few years.

 

[Nubs70]

This may be a radical concept - How about just good food in an elegant setting?

Your food is the product, your characters are your brand. The product is what people are paying money for.

 

[Skywise]

Oh c'mon... who doesn't want Winston Deavor's Penthouse Steakhouse?!

 

[Nubs70]

Maybe there are filming an episode of Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins?

 

[T.S.]

Their most recent signature dining renovation - Citricos - seems to be a rousing success. I'm optimistic that this one will be as well.

I feel with them trying to make this a high price to view fireworks package, this will ultimately doom the Top of the World for DVC. However they do California Grill it's ultimately to make money off people wanting to use it for a good view.

There is no way Top of the World is going to come back what it was. They are going to charge for a perk that was once free for DVC owners. Definitely the trend going forward.
