food IS a theme park
Hello there, friends! Welcome to another roundup of What’s New around the Disney World Resorts!
Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
Today, we’re going to chat about everything new we found during our latest walk around Disney’s Polynesian Village, Grand Floridian, and Contemporary Resorts.
Ahh, cheese: basically one of our favorite food groups here at DFB.

It’s no secret that California Grill atop Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort is an elegant and special place to dine any night of the year, but there is something magical about dining here on Valentine’s Day. The views, the ambiance, and the food combine to create a special, one-of-a-kind evening.
California Grill atmosphere is Valentine’s Day-ready!
California Grill is offering a three-course menu for Valentine’s Day. The meal consists of an appetizer, an entree, and a shared dessert. Starters include a choice between Colorado Bison Tartare and Lobster Bisque.
Walt Disney World has been a destination for families since the Magic Kingdom threw open its gates back in 1971. But over the years, Disney magic has drawn in people of all ages, and today it’s completely common to see grown-ups enjoying the parks with out kids.
We thought it’d be fun to gather some ideas on how to make the most of a girls’ weekend at Walt Disney World — from tips on where to stay, what to do, and (of course!) where to eat!

Deciding where to stay during an adults-only trip can be a tough call
, and there are a few different approaches you might want to take.
If you’re looking to enjoy your vacation without breaking the bank, think about Disney World’s Value Resorts. Want to avoid the noise and crowds often associated with these massive resorts? Request a room far from the main building and pools — even on the backside of a building where you’re less likely to have noise from passersby.

But if you and your crew prefer to live the sweet life, consider booking a Deluxe Resort room — which is often a decent deal when you split it 2, 3, 0r 4 ways! These rooms offer more space and higher-end finishes. Plus some of the Deluxe Resorts have added perks — like great dining options and entertainment.

If Walt Disney World dining establishments competed for superlatives, California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort would vie for several titles.
Best Dinner View? Best Sushi? Most Likely to Knock Your Socks Off? Yup — it would make a strong case for all.
And, in truth, we’ve included Cali Grill in lots of our lists, including 56 Must-Read Disney Dining Tips, where we tout that view, and 36 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do at Walt Disney World, where we highlight the extraordinary sushi.
One of the more exciting (and for some disappointing) aspects of dining at California Grill is its ever-changing menu. The intent is to adapt to local availability of ingredients — seasonality, in other words. And what that means for this signature restaurant is that the dishes you have one night may very well be absent from the menu the next.
But it also means the dishes on the menu are always high-quality and seriously fresh. And that’s why we keep going back — because there’s always something new (and thankfully always a couple of old favorites, though they might look a little different).
