food IS a theme park
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Walt Disney World
, and while some of you might not be ready, we don’t hate it! 😉 Because when it’s the holiday season at Disney World, it’s also holiday snack season.

It may be Halloween, but we saw a sure sign of Christmas today! The Contemporary Resort’s Gingerbread Castle in Disney World is going up!
Hello from the Contemporary
We can see the Castle, is in its “new” home for the second year in a row by the windows on the fourth floor. There it is — peeking out from between the Contemporary shops on the Grand Canyon Concourse!
Are you a member of Tables in Wonderland? Well, it’s time to put your chef hat on! Disney’s Contemporary Resort is offering two exclusive experiences just for Tables in Wonderland members.
Hello from the Contemporary
We’ve got a lot to look forward to in Walt Disney World in 2019! While we’re all waiting for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to open in the fall, though, we can enjoy some fantastic dining experiences at the Contemporary January through March. These experiences usually book up quickly, so don’t wait to make your reservation.
We took a Monorail tour of the Magic Kingdom resorts to find all that’s new for you! We started out in the Contemporary Resort.
Hello from the Contemporary
We let you know earlier about the Latte Art at Contemporary Grounds. If you’re having a latte this is a fun way to add a smile to your cup of coffee.
If you’re at the Contemporary Resort and craving a cup of coffee, espresso, latte, or baked good head over to Contemporary Grounds in the lobby. And now, you can have your drink with character!
Ordering and Serving Area at Contemporary Grounds Coffee Bar
Joffreys Coffee & Tea Company runs Contemporary Grounds and is now offering their Latte Art at this location in addition to their location, Joffrey’s Tea Traders Cafe in Disney Springs.
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).

Walt Disney World’s Tables in Wonderland

The new Chef’s Table Experience begins with a reception and champagne toast in the Catering Kitchen at the Contemporary.
