California Grill on New Year's Eve

[mollyhan]

A very Disney wise friend of mine said that they close the California Grill down for New Year's Eve and have a party from 8 until 1. She said it is 450 a person and they don't open the restaurant that night??????? I hope not ....has anyone else heard of this????? Help because my over planning needs help because my DH and I are going solo and wanted to eat there for New Years (if i could get ADRS)
