Help with a California Grill Strategy

[Lesley Wake]

So, I'm interested in going to California Grill during my December visit. But, I'm really only interested in dessert. None of the entrees interest me, especially for those prices; I could see myself possibly getting a sushi roll, but again, am unsure if it's worth it! So I am thinking dessert + fireworks (maybe a drink). It would be a solo meal.

But now I'm trying to decide how to time it and what day to do it. I could do it on a Friday when they have Holiday Wishes or a Saturday when it will be Happily Ever After. I have seen HEA a couple times from the garden plaza area and love it, and will have gone to MVMCP and seen the fireworks prior to this meal. Do people have a serious preference for which show is better to see from above?

And for the time of day; I'm trying to figure out if I should do a sunset dessert (maybe dessert before dinner...because I'm weird like that), then come back to see fireworks, or if I should just do late night dessert before/during/after fireworks?

Anyone have any input?

This is what I'm seeing as the current menu for California Grill Lounge which I'm sure you already know is first come, first served:

I haven't been there yet (can't wait until our ADR this summer!) so perhaps someone else can give more info in line with your wants.
