Located on the 15th floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, California Grill offers panoramic views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom, including an incredible view of Cinderella Castle.

Tiana’s New Year’s Adventure at California Grill

There’s a whole backstory to this event, which Disney describes as follows:
“With the help of Mama Odie’s magic, Louis and a few of Tiana’s other critter pals have crashed the party. Throughout the night, Mama Odie will cast playful spells to help Louis and friends stay out of sight of Tiana and Naveen. However, Tiana is smart—she will get to the bottom of who crashed this party. But she’ll need your help to do it, so be prepared to join in the action!”
