DW and I did this for our Anniversary at California Grill. It is simply a way to have a nice meal at a fixed price. We arrived to a custom menu (Not just names or celebration but themed to our anniversary) the meal included a Champagne toast with glasses to keep, appetizers (choice of 3), main course (Choice of 4) and a choice of desert. Additionally, because we were celebrating they also brought us another champagne toast with desert. The total cost was $160 if I am not mistaken based on what we ate and drank plus the toasting glasses we got our money's worth and had a great time.

We will be at Disney for our Anniversary in November. How do I book a sweetheart dinner? I've never heard of it before...?

[disney queen]

well, i was told by a CM there will be a "tab" on the online system on the restaurant you would like. the signatures are the ones that offer this. i'm wondering if it one that will have to be called in. anyone who know for sure???

I think this is one that needs to be called in to WDW-dine. I didn't see any extra tabs on the online dining reservation site for any of the signature restaurants. I'm going to call tomorrow and I'll post what I find out.

I had to get the menu out so here is what we were offered. I adjusted the number of selections in my original post because I had my numbers slightly off.

Choice of Toasting (Glasses were "Celebrate Today" toasting flutes, wrapped and boxed to take or ship home)
Magicale (off-dry rose)
Fairy Tale by Iron Horse

Apps
Goat Cheese Ravioli -
Smokey Beefsteak Tomato Soup
Summer Salad with California Peaches Pecans

Entrees
Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Pan-roasted Pacific Halibut Fillet
Oak Fired Fillet of Beef
Hand-cut Whole Wheat Linquine

Dessert
Chocolate Cake
Frozen Grand Marnier Souffle
w/ Lavender Ice Cream

I booked ours by phone. We received a call from CA directly about five days before to confirm reservation, name spelling and to ask about any dietary needs. We probably could have made a menu request at that time if we had any concerns but we did not. We timed our ADR for right as Wishes started so we knew the "Fireworks Crowd" would be making their way out before we started to eat and it worked perfectly.

I had very little luck finding anything about this here or anywhere else before I booked but would do it again. DW and I are taking my parents next year and we will probably book the same for them as they celebrate their 40th if the option is still available.
