Walt Disney World has announced the return of its themed New Year’s Eve dining experience at California Grill in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Last year, the theme was Alice in Wonderland, but this year you’re headed down to the bayou for a Princess and the Frog-themed evening. Here are the details.
Tiana’s New Year’s Adventure at California Grill | $800
Ring in the New Year with a fantastical evening. Enjoy shimmering champagne, delightful wines, marvelous food and one-of-a-kind entertainment.
Enchanting Entertainment
Immerse yourself in the whimsical surroundings of California Grill—where you’ll see Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. They’ve stopped by to sample the cuisine, meet some new friends and assist Tiana’s friend Chef Matthew. But wait… there’s a twist!
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!
We hope you come dressed in your best and are ready to dance to beats from live musicians! Plus, we’ll cap the evening and start 2025 with a fantastic champagne toast at midnight.
