Walt Disney World has confirmed that The Magic of New Year’s Eve at California Grill will return to Disney’s Contemporary Resort for the arrival of 2027.
The special dining event is held at the signature restaurant on the hotel’s upper level, where guests can view Magic Kingdom and its New Year’s Eve fireworks while dining. Disney is scheduled to release additional information, including pricing and reservation details, on Nov. 11, 2026.
Pricing for the 2026 event has not been announced. For the previous celebration, California Grill offered a $229-per-person experience on Dec. 30, while Dec. 31 seatings began at $299 per person. The later New Year’s Eve seating cost $349 per person and included a four-course menu.
At that previous top price, a party of four would have paid $1,396 before applicable additional charges. Disney has not said whether the same menu, seating structure or prices will return for the upcoming event.
Disney also has not confirmed when reservations will open. According to the reported prior schedule, bookings became available in late December, shortly before the Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 celebrations. Guests considering the event can watch for Disney’s Nov. 11 update as they plan their Walt Disney World holiday visit.
