Will this event continue into next year? Would love to go during our January visit.

Is it really the Cali Grill without the pork chop though?

There's more information up on Cali Grill. Looks like a prix fixe at $89, but when I click on the menu I get a "bad request." Someone posted in another thread that reservations will open on September 23.

The rumor is they are changing to a fixed price menu.

Question: Will Cali Grill be open for regular dinner reservations as well? I am going the weekend of Halloween :)

Welp, guess I have make sure to wake up at 5:30a for any California Grill special events in the future - lesson learned 🥲 I've heard that they should at least be opening up standard dinner reservation slots sometime soon now (at first I was afraid that these were the only way to enjoy CG during the anniversary, but luckily that doesn't seem to be the case) and as long as I at least get some form of Cal Grill fix during my trip, I'll be reasonably satisfied.

At about 5:55 am it turned on for booking. I had a 4 person for the 21st, but hesitated as that was our arrival day and didn't think we would all be in by then. I had it in my checkout cart or whatever that page is that gives you your price, but within the one minute I hesitated, when I went to pay it said my date was no longer available. That was between 5:59 and 6 am. In my case it's just as well as we would have been very rushed to get there.

Ya, I'm pretty sure it's very limited numbers. And given boo bash I wasn't taking any chances.

MonoBunnyBoiSep 17, 2021

Damn, I can't even find a single spot for the 18th or 21st (I leave on the 27th so that's a no go) - didn't think I'd need to reserve at ~6am just for a spot considering it's a triple-digit cost event. I've been at it since like 8:30 this morning, that's a drag...

pixarprincessSep 17, 2021

Ya, got 4 people for Oct 27.

MonoBunnyBoiSep 17, 2021

Wait, you mean you actually got a reservation? Or just got to the page itself? I'm still not seeing any availability, and considering the price, I couldn't imagine they've all been 100% snatched up already, right?!

pixarprincessSep 17, 2021

Also a developer! Hey there. And ya, I eventually got through this morning via mobile. Super fun at 5:50 AM.

MonoBunnyBoiSep 17, 2021

Can confirm (as a software engineer myself) the site - especially on desktop - keeps crashing when I try to access the page, and even when I can get on (either desktop or mobile, the latter being far more consistent to access) there's a seemingly-random-scattered amount of available dates to choose from and absolutely no available times to be seen whatsoever... :rolleyes: really irritating
