The only place I've watched event fireworks from is Top of the World Lounge, and HalloWishes music was played then. Viewing Wishes is such a big part of California Grill, I wouldn't worry about them not playing music.
I'd book closer to 8:00, but you don't have to be still eating your meal to use the observation deck. If you finish before (Hallo)Wishes, you can even leave California Grill and come back just to view fireworks from the observation deck. With a reservation around 8:00, that's pretty good timing for 9:30 fireworks. If you don't get a window seat (these types of requests can only be made when checking-in now), just tell your server you will be viewing Wishes from the deck, and they'll make sure to time your meal so nothing comes out while you're away from your table.
Trust me, I've spent lots of time thinking about things like this too! However, I have also learned the hard way that my plans don't always go how I expect
Whether you eat at 6:00 or 9:00, I think you'll still have a magical birthday!
