Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

Staying at the Disney grand hotel was best decision we made. One of our kids felt ill during our visit to Disneyland and knowing that we could walk back to our room and take a break was a relief. The room was clean and the bathroom was very clean too. We made a few requests the evening we arrived and the promptness in delivering them was great. I don’t have anything to complain about, everything was great.

Staying at the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and spa was a real treat. Beautiful hotel with a roaring fire down in the main area that where people could sit and enjoy. Decor and the hotel itself was beautiful. Good restaurants within the facility itself. And I loved the fact that we could literally walk out of our hotel and either right into California Adventure or in the other direction come out on Downtown Disney.

Our stay at the Grand Californian was truly magical from the moment we walked in. The hotel is stunning — warm wood, beautiful details everywhere, and everything feels clean, cozy, and welcoming. It’s one of those places where you instantly relax.||The rooms were spotless and felt like a peaceful escape after busy park days. One of the biggest perks for our family was having a private entrance straight into California Adventure. It made such a difference with kids. When they hit that “I’m done” moment in the afternoon, we could slip right back to the room for naps without trekking across the whole resort. That alone made the stay worth it.||We also loved the pool area. There are options for every age — relaxing spaces for adults, fun areas for the kids, and plenty of room to unwind. It’s p

Stately hotel, impeccable service, and my kids love the little rocking chairs in front of the tv showing Mickey cartoons. We were upgraded to a pool view upon checking in and adored the cast member who helped us. She bejeweled a birthday pin for my oldest and shared stories since she’s been with the hotel for many years. Really wish I could remember her name! Loved the restaurant options from hearthstone lounge to storytellers cafe and Napa rose, all on site. The gift shop has GCH specific pins with chip and dale, which my oldest pin collecting child loved. All in a great stay and can’t get more convenient than this. Only bummer is the discontinuation of early entry - hopefully they bring that back!
