On this date in 1995, the California Grill opened in Walt Disney World at the Contemporary Resort. Nate Rasmussen, Archivist, Marketing Resource Center put together a little history lesson on the grill and we wanted to share it with all. Have you ever been to the California Grill? If so, what is your opinion? Tell us about it in the comments below and on Facebook.
Today, back in 1995, the California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort opened. This signature restaurant atop the 15th floor was recently reimagined and here is a look at the lobby in 1995 and today.
What’s my favorite part of the California Grill? It’s a toss up between the delicious food and the amazing view.
