Disney strikes again with their love of prix fixed menus at restaurants we love. The newest restaurant to join the prix fixed ranks is a personal favorite, the California Grill. Located on the 15th floor of Disney's Contemporary Resort, the California Grill not only offered stunning views of the Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon, it offered diners an unforgettable dining experience with exceptional food and service and an impressive wine list. When it opened in 1995, the California Grill was considered a cutting-edge concept (especially for a theme park) for offering fresh, seasonal dishes prepared in the stunning on-stage kitchen. It quickly became a popular dining destination for guests of Walt Disney World. As part of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” California Grill will offer a "limited-time" three-course menu with dishes inspired by past favorites. Adults will be $89 each (plus tax and gratuity) and children will be $39 each (plus tax and gratuity). Here is the full 50th anniversary celebration menu. From the Market Inspirations, The California Grill Sushi Classics Trio – Blue Crab California Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Spicy Kazan Roll – brings together three of the most popular rolls on one plate. The Spicy Kazan Roll includes blue crab, yellowfin tuna tataki, and sweet shrimp. But what makes this sushi roll unique is the Fireball Sauce with bay scallops, avocado, and mango, bringing the flavor to another level.
The House-Made Artisanal-Style Duck á la Orange Pizza has a fun backstory. Long Island Duckling with Orange Sauce was on the original Top of the World menu, and with artisanal flatbreads and pizzas from the on-stage wood-fired grills being a guest favorite, it made perfect sense to marry the two! Enter this delicious pizza with duck prosciutto and confit, orange-black mission fig jam, pickled shallots, aged blue cheese, and arugula – an homage to the classic from Top of the World and a California Grill staple. The Oak-Fired Filet of Beef with Black Truffle-Brown Butter Château Potatoes, Golden Raisins Vinaigrette, Cauliflower, and Black Garlic Butter has layers of incredible flavors. The Château Potatoes are beyond fabulous – slowly cooked in brown butter and topped with freshly shaved black winter truffles. “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” deserves a classic dessert that never goes out of style, and this delectable EARidescent Grand Marnier Soufflé is perfection. Served table-side with macerated Florida citrus and a delicious house-made Creamsicle Ice Cream. A sweet ending, indeed. This menu will be offered starting October 3, with reservations available September 23.

For dessert they can even create their own ice cream sundae! Check out the new menus! Dessert is the Steakhouse 71 Chocolate Cake. It is 15 layers of whiskey-infused chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, and raspberries – one layer for every floor at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Talented mixologists and sommeliers have crafted fabulous alcoholic and nonalcoholic libations offered in the Steakhouse 71 Lounge or to enjoy while dining. Citrus groves surrounding the resort when first being built were the inspiration for two refreshing cocktails. The Citrus Grove Cocktail (Italian bitter, green herbal liqueur, citrus juices, simple syrup, and orange bitters) evokes the scents of fresh oranges and citrus groves. And the Steakhouse 71 Vodka Gimlet (vodka, green herbal liqueur, herbal blend, lime juice, simple syrup, and Minute Maid Premium Lemonade) is a fresh and herbaceous cocktail inspired by the Florida wetlands. The “Lily” pad garnish is in honor of Lillian Disney. While Guests enjoy the subtle ‘70s vibe of the restaurant, they can relax with a popular drink from that decade – the Tequila Sunrise! This Tequila Sunrise has a modern twist with tequila, tropical juices, rosemary simple syrup, and house-made grenadine. A “sharable” Tequila Sunrise is available for lunch and dinner, serving 2-4 guests. Steakhouse 71 proudly offers a selection of “Disney Family of Wines,” a diverse collection of wines with a personal connection to the Disney name. The wineries display qualities long identified with Walt Disney and The Walt Disney Company – passion, innovation, and quality. Steakhouse 71, which gets its name from the year the resort opened, has a sleek yet comfortable décor with fun design elements from the ‘70s and hints of Walt Disney World's Florida heritage with subtle sightings of the beloved Orange Bird and citrus groves. Reservations opens soon on September 16th for this new Walt Disney World Restaurant! Contact your SPV Agent today to book your dining experience!
