Eating Up at the California Grill

When it comes to unique experiences that say "I'm in Walt Disney World!" few come as close to being as iconic as a nighttime dinner and fireworks show from the rooftop California Grill

Sure, it's an expensive meal- and just for the view alone of the Magic Kingdom from the observation deck, it is worth every hard earned penny!

The Contemporary Resort itself is spectacular with the monorail running through the 4th floor open lobby. But when I'm up on that deck, outside in the balmy Florida night and watching what's happening on the lagoon and in the park via telescopes, it truly is magical. (Did you know you can actually see the logs dropping down Splash Mountain using them?)

Looking another direction, you can see the Polynesian Village and the Grand Floridian Resort lit up next to the sparkling Seven Seas Lagoon, monorails circling it all. 

All said, a great dinner, adult drinks, high in the sky view of the Magic Kingdom followed by fireworks and a cruise around the monorail makes for one very special, totally unforgettable night! Faster than you can say "Disney Food Blog", I'd pick this place for every Disney World trip- if I could afford it!
