Walt Disney World Resorts, which is located in the heart of central Florida near Orlando, is one of the top vacation destinations in the world. Travelers can spend days exploring the four theme parks, two water parks, five golf courses and other entertainment and sports attractions. Choosing from more than 70 restaurants within the Disney World Resorts properties may seem like a daunting task to some, but you can narrow your selections. One offers the best view, one has the best character dining and one is the best restaurant for special occasions.
The California Grill, located on the 15th floor of the Contemporary Resort, offers Disney World vacationers a restaurant with the best view each night. Guests can choose from spectacular views of either the Seven Seas Lagoon or the Magic Kingdom theme park. The gourmet restaurant is a Disney Signature Dining Restaurant featuring an American/California fusion cuisine in a hip, contemporary setting that includes an exhibition kitchen. Reservations are suggested, particularly on weekends and holidays or during the nightly fireworks display.
