Contemporary Elevator

I have reservations for California Grill coming up, and I'm concerned with the elevator situation. I understand some resorts require magic bands to use the elevator. Is this the case at the Contemporary to reach California Grill? Thanks for any help you can provide.

You have to be escorted up to California Grill. You go to the desk on the 2nd or 4th floor I believe it is to check in for your reservation (can't remember off hand what floor) and then they escort you to the 15th floor in another elevator. You don't need magic bands etc to use the elevator to go up and we dine there every trip, you just check in like any other restaurant and then wait to be escorted up. :)

This. The CG reception desk is on the 2nd floor near the escalators. Only they can unlock the elevator to CG and they escort you to the restaurant. So, you check in, they verify your reservation and time and then take you near that time to the 15th floor. No need for bands.

Thank you I couldn't remember what floor to check in for certain. Knew it was the 2nd or 4th floor. Lol. And my last trip was just a few months ago I should have remembered. Haha! Love Cali Grill! :)
