The menu is up for the special price-fixe at CA Grill. Looks good, but the prices?!?

The price actually isn’t as bad as I expected it. I thought it would be over $100. The disappointment is the kids pricing—especially if you have a kid who qualifies for adult pricing by a hair, but wouldn’t/couldn’t eat the adult menu.
Price
Adult: $89 per person (ages 10 and up), plus tax and gratuity
Child: $39 per child (ages 3 to 9), plus tax and gratuity

I mean it doesn't look horrible for CG with fireworks. It's horrible for people who usually just like apps and a cocktail and/or dessert (me). For 3 courses, it is probably even a little less than what you would typically pay a la carte.

Yeah I agree with your assessment. Good deal if adults normally go and have a full meal, not good if you like to go and share appetizers and dessert or if you have kids who usually order from the reasonably-priced kids menu.

I wonder if it includes coffee. They curently charge $9 for coffee or tea. That's a lot and I assume it's to keep people moving after they are done with dinner. With a fixed menu I expect people to take their time and tables to turn over slower.

I am not loving it. I usually only get one appetizer. Who can eat all that food??? Not me!

I do see lots of the regular items which will make some happy.

I think from now on I will shoot for the bar.

Good idea. I just want those short rib wontons and that sourdough bread with the garlic tomato oil. How does the bar work if you have an 11 year old

There is a lounge area next to the bar with small tables and chairs.

How does access to the bar lounge work if it's full? Will they buzz you if a table is ready?

I wasn’t sure if they still had that with Covid spacing.

I don't know how it is now.

Just spent 2 nights here. Sitting outside Contempo waiting to head out. Seems like a big push to finish! You can hear the construction right now from the 4th floor and a ton of activity going on along the first floor. Construction workers could be seen on room balconies over the weekend.

A regular here goes often with one or both without any worries.

I have not done it yet myself I just know someone that does.

I am guessing but not sure.

Is the bus for the CR to HS direct? Does it stop at any other hotels? About how frequently does it run? (We usually split our stays and visit HS when we are by EP area resorts so I’m not familiar with the buses)

ADRs opening on the 23! Oh great, here we go again. I haven't recovered from this morning and Space 220.

Yes it is direct. They have been doing a better job making lines for each park at the stop too.

Like all buses it can vary but RD they run a few then the usual 20 mins or so.
