California Grill & Fireworks

[NikkiDP]

Hi there! My DIF and I have a dinner reservation at CG during our honeymoon trip with the intention of being able to watch HalloWishes! We made our reservations at 180 days for 7:15 because we were thinking logical dinnertime but saw today that the fireworks probably won't go off until around 10. Is it possible to remain at your table for as long as you wish even if dinner is completed? I am going to continue to try and see if we can get later reservations but who knows if that will actually happen.

TIA

They won't physically remove you but that seems like excessive loitering. That table is nearly certainly booked for an additional party after you. A Signature dinner with appetizer, entree and dessert usually takes 90-120 minutes You can save your receipts and come back for Hallowishes, which will be at 10:15.

FWIW, this is the same time fireworks were done during MNSSHP last year. There is undoubtedly a table booked after you. You can come back to the balcony for the fireworks.

Eat dinner, then go sit in the lounge with drinks. You can go out on to the balcony no matter what time you eat dinner to watch the fireworks.

the view is MUCH MUCH MUCH better from outside than in... even if you get a window table, there's a lot of background noise and reflections on the glass... Agree with the above about having a drink in the lounge and going outside.

Thank you all so much! It's our first time going to CG so I didn't realize that we could view the fireworks from other than the restaurant. The balcony sounds perfect!! Thanks again for all the advice

1) YES.
2) Happens all the time.
3) So the SERVER doesn't get antsy, just order a drink and consume it VERY slowly.
4) The only question is whether buying drinks is worth a 17-minute fireworks show.

That is a fantastic question. For us, probably not worth it haha. Now that I know we can use the balcony and come back for the show I think that is what we are gonna do. We don't like to sit around and wait, would rather be exploring the hotel! Thanks!

would rather be exploring the hotel!

And, the fourth-floor sounvenir shops.

You can also explore the other monorail hotels - just keep an eye on the time.
