Reservations Now Open for California Grill’s Magic of New Year’s Eve Celebration at Walt Disney World
If ringing in the new year with fireworks, fine dining, and a little Disney magic sounds like your perfect sendoff to 2025, reservations are now available for The Magic of New Year’s Eve celebration at California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The special event is being offered on both December 30 and December 31, 2025, with limited availability.

This ticketed celebration includes a prix-fixe four-course dinner, live music, photo opportunities with Mickey and Minnie, and a complimentary champagne toast for guests ages 21 and over. One of the biggest draws is access to a prime viewing location for the New Year’s Eve fireworks over Magic Kingdom, making it a popular option for guests who want to avoid the park crowds while still enjoying the midnight spectacular.
Guests should be aware that availability appears to be limited and slightly confusing. While Disney’s website lists reservations for both December 30 and December 31, another notice specifically mentions limited reservations remaining for December 30. It is currently unclear whether December 31 is fully booked or simply filling faster, so guests must call (407) 824-2284 directly to confirm availability and book.

The special four-course menu is inspired by California Grill’s 30th anniversary and offers a wide range of upscale options. The first course features a Japanese Wagyu futomaki roll, followed by a choice of second-course dishes like BBQ European quail, Sonoma goat cheese ravioli, Norwegian brown king crab, or sweet potato bisque. Entrée selections include standouts such as a 30-day dry-aged Wagyu filet, butter-poached Maine lobster, truffled poulet rouge, and Glacier 51 toothfish mosaic. Dessert choices range from a Celebration of Citrus to chocolate blossom and blueberry goat cheese cheesecake, with specialty cocktails available for an additional charge.
Pricing varies by date and seating time. December 30 is priced at $229 per person. On December 31, early seating is $299 per person, while late seating comes in at $349 per person. A strict cancellation policy applies, with the full price charged for cancellations within 24 hours or for no-shows.
