I’m so sad that Daisy was left out tho. The disrespect for the sassiest duck! #Disney100 #grandcalifornianhotel

It's nice but poor #DaisyDuck got left out. #grandcalifornianhotel #disney100 #disneyland #magicisback #magicishere

Now knowing that I have access to #NapaRose on any day without needing a reservation could end up not being a good thing for me. 🙂

On the other hand, it means that Napa Rose can be added to the progressive dinner lineup! #grandcalifornianhotel #magicisback #magicishere 3/3

If you can't get there that early, I would suggest arriving around 6pm at the earliest. You'll likely have to wait until seats open up. Wait times can vary during the night as people leave, depending on if they're just having drinks or maybe an appetizer or just an entree or having a full meal. #NapaRose #grandcalifornianhotel #magicisback #magicishere 2/3

We've been going to #NapaRose since they opened in 2001 but have somehow never known that they serve dinner at the bar itself. There are only 12 seats, and they fill up quickly. For your best chance, get there by 5pm (the restaurant opens at 5:30pm), and either join or start the line in front of the door. When the door is unlocked, head to the right side to go to the bar area. Those with reservations will check in at the podium on the left. #grandcalifornianhotel #magicisback #magicishere 1/3

My main course was the goose shepherd's pie. That was so good. For being a second course offering in a smallish copper pot, there was quite a bit of goose inside.

For dessert, I had the lime coconut sorbet, which makes for an unspectacular picture but was pretty tasty. #NapaRose #grandcalifornianhotel #magicisback #magicishere

Dinner last night was at #NapaRose . Started with the mushroom cappuccino because I was *not* going to miss out this time. Yes, it was just as delicious as I remembered.

My second course was the always yummy smiling tiger salad. We've been having this dish since it first showed up on a vintner's menu years ago. The plating has changed over the years. I don't remember a #hiddenmickey playing with the shrimp fritters. The spicy beef is underneath the salad. #grandcalifornianhotel #magicishere

Mushroom bisque has been acquired and consumed. Mission accomplished! We're sitting at the bar today. #NapaRose #grandcalifornianhotel #disneyland #magicisback #magicishere

After our truncated dinner at #naparose at the #grandcalifornianhotel , we still wanted an additional bite to eat. I'd not seen any mention of this new dish, but a friend had it a few days prior, and it sounded good, so this was sort of my consolidation prize for the mushroom bisque that I didn't get. The husband and I shared the mushroom, vegetable and farro stew from #harbourgalley (with the understanding that I'd get more of the mushrooms). #disneyland #magicisback #magicishere

In my further Adventures with Washington Apple martini, I got the correct drink on their first try this time, but with a garnish I'd never gotten before, a twist of lime.

Next time, I'm ordering and having the bisque before I do anything else. #naparose #grandcalifornianhotel /end

Our truncated dinner last night at #naparose at the #grandcalifornianhotel .

Because the whole reason for our visit was the return of the mushroom bisque, I had joked about ordering that first before doing anything else in case they ran out. I should have gone with that instinct. The husband did have it for his first course. I didn't have a taste, and I didn't even take a picture, because I'd have my own in a later course. 🤦 /1

Menus for tonight. As much as the Vintner's menu looks good, I'm picking my own menu. Tonight, we're celebrating the return of mushroom bisque! #naparose #grandcalifornianhotel

The #gingerbreadhouse is still up in the #grandcalifornianhotel lobby, but the #christmastree and other #christmas decorations are gone. #holidaysbeginhere #disneyland #magicisback #magicishere
