Great news if you’re a fan of California Grill, Sunday Brunch — or both!

Coming on the heels of the announcement that Narcoossee’s at the Grand Floridian would begin offering a Sunday brunch, now we are hearing that California Grill will do the same.

The popular signature restaurant, which sits atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort, has been a dinner-only spot since opening in the 1990s. But as Disney World continues to expand hours in table service restaurants across property, it looks like California Grill will soon join the trend.

The experience promises to be a hybrid of sorts. If you’d like, you can choose to begin your meal with something to drink. Options include both mocktails and cocktails, or indulge in a trip to the Bloody Mary Bar.

Guests begin their meal with house made Breakfast Pastries and Breads. Assortments will include Caramel Apple Monkey Bread, Cranberry Pecan Scones, and Tillamook Cheddar Biscuits, accompanied by Jam made from scratch and Orange Blossom Honey Butter.

Next, you’ll have the chance to interact with culinary staff at the counter of the on-stage kitchen. Here, guests can enjoy tasting portions of dishes like House-Smoked Orange Honey Ham and Deviled Eggs, which will feature Lake Meadow Naturals Eggs.

After all of that, the dessert menu will focus on small offerings, with Mini-Desserts, Macarons, and Chocolate Truffles as sweet ending options.

The price is prix fixe and will be $80 for adults and $48 for children ages 3 to 11. Advance Dining Reservations will open on Wednesday, December 16 and can be booked online or by calling 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463). No word yet on whether they’ll accept Disney Dining Plan or Tables in Wonderland, but we assume so, since California Grill accepts both.
