Disney Magic at California Grill | #FridayFive

Welcome back to another edition of the Magical Mickey linkup: the linkup centering around a love for Disney, sharing that love and connecting with others. I hope you find this linkup as a great place to turn to for Disney content each week and help all the bloggers participating out by helping readers find that great mouse-eared content. I'm co-hosting with Katie from Adventures by Katie, so of course check her blog out.

Previously, I wrote a post about some Disney magic. Then last week, I shared with you one of my favorite dining location as Walt Disney World, California Grill. In that post, I mentioned a special experience we had with a server there. This is that story of...


Disney Magic at California Grill

I've dined at California Grill on several occasions. One very special time was on our honeymoon. We got a reservation close to the fireworks times, with enough time to eat before enjoying the view for the fireworks. We were looking for a special meal, so decided to get a bottle of wine. We left it up to the recommendation of our server, Lisa, from Bucks County, PA. My wife told her we'd like a rieslings, something a little sweet, but not too dry. She said she had just the wine, and came back with a bottle of Selbach-Oster. We ended up enjoying a lovely meal, the fireworks, and two bottles that night.



Fast forward 2 years. We're vacationing with my family and have a reservation at California Grill. My wife and I are remembering our last dinner here, but can't remember the wine we had that night. Then, our server arrives at the table and feels oddly familiar. We decide to go the recommendation route again and explain the wine we had as best as we could. Then, the Disney magic happens. She asks if last time we were here, if we were on our honeymoon. She thought we looked familiar, remembers us and remembers the wine we had that night. Yes, 2 years later, we happen to have the same server, who remembered us, and found our amazing bottle of wine. That was some kind of magic.

Have you ever had that "how did that happen" experience?


Onto the Linkup

Here are the guidelines:

The post just needs to be about anything Disney related. There have been posts on runDisney, on the parks and even on the Moms Panel, so just give it some Disney and count it.

New posts are fantastic, but for now, if you have a great old post you want to share, drop it on in.

Try to visit as many of the posts that you can as time allows. The point of this is to share and support each other.

If you're going to be a regular, please link back to the host posts. It's just good etiquette and frankly, that's how others will get to your fellow Disney lovers content. Without that link back, they can't find the linkup and therefore the other blogs. Help me help you.

You also have the option to add the linkup code to your post if you'd like. It is not required, just another option. If not, please follow the above link back guideline.
