I think that's just brunch (which I think is only served on Sunday). Make sure you select dinner from the drop down menu on the WDW site.

ETA: oops. Just looked and it does appear to be in stations. Interesting...

That's very interesting...wonder how much it would cost for something like this if the Brunch was pushing $80 per person.

I wonder if it's some kind of error. There are only two prices listed: $14 for strawberry salad and filet mignon at $28.99. How can that be right?

Something is off. The menu is completely revamped from what wdwinfo is carrying. Either the chef decided to redo the entire menu, or Disney did something wrong with the database.

Edit: I looked at the menus from allears, touringplans, and Disney official, as well. The three "unofficial" ones were all posted at different times, and the menus are all rather different. I'm thinking it's another revamp, and a reorganization.

I hope they don't go buffet-style.

People are thinking they accidentally put up the menu they do for their New Years Eve Party under the regular menu for California Grill.

Someone has just put photos from last night in a fb group I am in and their pictures look like the food from the old menu. So hopefully it is just an error.

It sounds like the story is based solely on the menu that's posted. Granted, the WDW site should be accurate but doesn't sound like they had a source for the article who confirmed. I'm holding out hope it's an error.

That article doesn't really say much. I think they should have confirmed with someone at Disney before posting that story. I still think it's a mistake.

Several of us have already called and were told that the menu is a glitch and that California Grill hasnt/isn’t changing to a buffet style. Like already stated, this is likely the preliminary menu for the NYE party - several of the items are winter flavors (peppermint, winter truffle, etc).

Now, why Disney hasn’t quickly changed the menu is another issue

This is really irresponsible reporting (what a surprise coming from this site). Until this is confirmed or announced by Disney, this is not a fact and, very likely, a glitch. The headline should really say, "website indicates California Grill menu has changed to buffet-style".

And it's not the first time it happened. I can't recall now what it was but they did the same thing, reported something as a fact when it was in the end, just a glitch or misunderstanding. Had they stopped long enough to verify the info before writing the article it would have never happened. I don't understand why they don't do that before publishing their articles.

A Castmember who works at Cali Grill had just posted on fb that the dinner menu is the same and has not changed. She is going to speak to her manager tonight to get the online menu rectified!

This happens too often on their site too. They forgot to tag something correctly when listing a new menu and it goes up wrong. Takes them too long to catch it.

I totally agree!

I totally agree!

CG is my DH's favorite restaurant. It sounds like this is not really happening and I hope it doesn't! We have an ADR next week. Fingers crossed everything is the same.

Here's my theory, from working with content management systems in other capacities. They're working on a draft of a special event menu that will eventually be published under a "holiday" choice on the drop-down. Someone forgot to check which menu choice was active when they were editing, and accidentally saved their work under "dinner" instead. But because they were copying and pasting the new content into the template, they over-wrote the proper content and now have to go back to put it all back together.

Its definitely the NYE menu - its been confirmed by several cast members now.

Shouldn't you do that on the non-live version of the website?
