Here's the dress code standards from Disney...
I can't see it being a problem if you're wearing dressy jean shorts but if you have a pair of slacks or khakis, I'd throw them on just to be safe. I've noticed most people get rather dressed up for Cali Grille so putting on khakis will make you feel more in place with the rest of the restaurant.
Hope that helps!

Nicer shorts will be fine. I wore them and a button up shirt when I went and had no problems

There's no harm in embracing the spirit of the dress code and having a dressed up, elegant dinner even if you're at Walt Disney World.
Granted, in the summer I skip wearing a tie, but I feel more comfortable wearing a jacket no matter when I go. It's a beautiful upscale restaurant, and I'd rather go feeling properly dressed even if there are always a few people "getting by" in t-shirts.

We went and my BF wore khakis and a button down "Business Casual" shirt. He felt completely comfortable in what he wore. We did notice some people in jeans, but felt more appropriate for the space in what we wore.

Disney's Business casual dress code is less strict than some places (but then Disney always does their own thing :lol: ). What you have planned will be just fine. Throwing the khaki shorts/trousers into the suitcase wouldn't be a bad idea though, because you can wear them anywhere.
I agree with others that, even though nice t shirts are allowed, I would not wear one...that's just me though. Have a great trip and say Hi! to Mickey for me! :wave:

Collar shirt and shorts should be fine.

OP, you would be fine. I've seen t-shirts and jean shorts and I've seen people dressed up. I would say most people dress up a little.

My hubby and I personally use the "dress code" as an opportunity to dress up nice... we rarely spend that much money on a night on the town at home so we pull out all of the stops on vacay. That being said, I don't mind when other people are dressed down, as long as they are "put together".
The thing is; I wear a suit to work everyday. We do have casual Friday's during the Summer but it's business casual which means dress slacks, button down shirt,and dress loafers.
Anytime I can put on a nice pair of shorts and a breezy shirt I do - especially on vacation.
Having said that - I will be wearing at a minimum dressy shorts and a collarshirt to CG.

We're going in a couple of weeks and DH is planning on dressy casual shorts and a golf shirt or business casual level slacks and a golf shirt...unless I can convince him to try a button down.

Just the fact that you have the class to ask about the dress code tells me you'll be ok.
Except at Victoria & Alberts, Disney really isn't strict about their dress code.
Although I wish they were a little bit more.
It's kind of a bummer when you're out for a nice evening, dropping over $100 on dinner, and some Yahoo in a dirty T-shirt, sitting at the table next to you looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster.
Tough to blame Disney for it. WDW attracts all types.
I just wish certain people had more pride in themselves.

When we went to the California Grill, we walked right in from a day at the parks. No one said anything.

your clothes probably fell within the dress code. I have seen people at the Yachtsman asked to change before being admitted to the dining room.

I'm kind of glad you saw this, since I have heard that the dress code can be ignored. While I understand that it is Disney, I think that the few signature restaurants should follow this since dress does add to atmosphere.

I agree. The family that was asked to change were staying at the YC so I wonder if they would have been asked to change had they not been. :shrug:

Good question...but we probably all know the answer unfortunately. I am sure the question of "Which resort are you staying at" came before the "We need you to change"

This is actually really good to hear! Thanks!
I think Signature restaurants at Resorts need to be a bit stricter.
