Dinner at contemporary

[melissa70]

We have reservations at the Contemporary restaurant for 730. We obviously want to watch the fireworks. Do we stay seated in the restaurant or can we go out onto the roof at 9pm? I would have rather done the Celebration at the Top but it’s not available for any dates in March

Assuming your reservations are at California Grill, then yes - you can go outside on one of the decks to enjoy the fireworks. I would expect 90 minutes could be pretty good timing for a meal there.

Only if you have reservations for the California Grill will you be able to go out to the roof to view the fireworks. If that is where you are dining, if your table is not near the windows or doesn't have a good view, you can go outside and then return to your table when they are over. Your meal may get cold, but that's where you have to make a decision. If you don't want to wait, you can hold on to your receipt and you will be allowed back up to watch the fireworks.

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t fireworks at MK at 8pm now?
We have a Cali Grill reservation soon and I hope I didn’t make it too early, if the fireworks are at 9pm.

It changes to 830 in mid March, then 845 in April per the calendar on Disney website.

We move to DST on March 10, so some of the times are adjusted to be sure it's dark enough for the fireworks and projections.

Did someone tell you it’s not available for March or just going by the current open dates? They opened more dates yesterday, so I think March just isn’t open yet. I tried emailing and got the “we’re not sure when those dates will be open to book, keep checking back” response.

I had the same response on the chat!
