Any idea what the new menu is?

Here's some information on the new offerings. Sorry to see my favorite Pork Tenderloin is no longer on the menu but I'm sure some of the new items will be just as good.

Pretty sure online booking begins at 6 a.m. ET, and the phone lines open at 7.
From what i have heard, WDW dining is expecting a crush of requests for ressies.
So be patient.

It is mentioned in the article; the pork tenderloin and goat cheese polenta will still be there, in a smaller size, as part of "pork two ways", which includes pork belly.

I saw that, not so sure how I feel about the pork belly part though.

I'll never forget being at Cali Grill, and we were looking between two bottles of wine in a certain price range. Asked for advice and they "offered" a similar bottle that had newly arrived but just happened to be $60 more expensive without mentioning that part.

Haven't been back since, but we are going to give it a try again this upcoming trip in January. Been twiddling our thumbs waiting to make our ADR. Glad we can soon.

WONDERFUL NEWS! Our favorite "Parent's Night Out" retreat.

We had a Wahoo Salad (spell?) at AKL Jiko and it had pork belly as one of the meats in it. Thought it was strange but we love to try new things. Was one of the best apps we've had. Was a seasonal thing and last trip was not on the menu. Looking forward to trying it at Cali Grill.

Hey Disney! PLEASE provide adequate staffing at WDW-DINE and beef up web/server support on 8/26.

Imagine 180 days of bookings for one of WDW's most popular restaurants all coming in in largely all at once. That'll spike traffic, right?

So excited Just got a Cali Grill ressie for Oct 31st. Can't wait to see the new menu and we will be there for the Hallowishes fireworks.

Got a seating for our first night in December

Excited to see the new decor and sample the new menu!

MOJoe, just wanted to thank you again for the heads up on this! I really appreciate it and was able to secure a reservation this morning.

Okay, I saw the new menu on Disney's website. I have to say, I am not really impressed. The desserts are definitely not what I would expect out of CG and other than the sushi menu, the entrees look kind of blah. I'm sure I will be on the minority on this one, just my opinion.
