Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

6th floor Craftsman Club. Runs about $150 a night but is well worth the add on. Small bites and drinks all day, as well as crafts and events for the kids. Plus your own concierge .

Check in queue can be massive, snaking all around the lobby. But fear not, they have 10+ desks & they get everything moving quickly. Also there's free water & cookies for the tired people waiting.

They offer story time near the beautiful lobby fireplace , as well as retro Disney cartoons for kids to watch in child-size rocking chairs in the lobby as well . Our kids LOVE it!

Stay on the concierge level. You're greeted at the valet by a cast member who takes you straight to your room. There's also a "concierge only" club with daily breakfast , cocktail hour and story time .

One of the more impressive hotel lobbies I've ever seen. Love the "California Craftsman " aesthetic. Make sure to hit up evening Story Time by the fireplace .

Besides the elevator in the main lobby, there is another elevator down the hall that exits between Storytellers Cafe & Napa Rose on the ground level. It's near the California Adventure park entrance!

Very nice hotel . Direct access into Disney California Adventure . It's too expensive though. It's Disney so a lot of stuff is expensive but I'll be trying a different on site hotel next time.

Radiator Springs ride (Cars) is the star. Stay at a Disney hotel and ride it multiple times in the extra magic hour. Also grab a fast pass to meet Anna Elsa Olaf if Frozen is big for your kids

There's a soup called Seven Sins of the Sea, with all these different seafoods , and if you dine on it with champagne , it makes you forget that Napa Rose is located in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel Read more

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. I absolutely LOVED the world of color audio channel available in our room. The housekeeping staff was awesome too! ❤️????

If you have never been, and they still have "themed, NOT YET RENOVATED ROOMS", we highly recommend you stay in one to experience the original art and character.

Best of the Disney hotels ! Gorgeous aesthetic and big rooms . Hang around the lobby and drink it in!

Our suite was gorgeous, clean and so spacious . I didn't much care for the service in the lounge downstairs or all the small children in the hot tub . However, the bell hops we're EXCEPTIONALLY awesome.

The staff was very thoughtful in giving us personalized service. Actually, the room that I am staying here was clean , comfortable , and cool. Even the amenities were nice and elegant to look at.

The hotel lobby is beautiful and has a nice homely feel to it. I could have sat here and relaxed forever, but alas, Disneyland called!

Extremely convenient (for visiting the park ) and extremely full during high-season. We had to stay 4 adults in a twin queen room but it was surprisingly spacious . Clean . Friendly staff .

Nice atmosphere and great food. Like the seasonal tasting menu . I like the view of the open kitchen and wine display.

Take the Hotel tour . It's free, it's educational and if you appreciate architecture , especially the Arts & Crafts movement, you will see so much more!

Disney Truly knows how to create a welcoming atmosphere!!! The Hotel & Spa are a must for all California travelers and locals. Great for Family's and Couples!!

Saucy is the best. He made the perfect wine recommendation for us (that knocked us on the floor for <$50) and every. single. bite. of food was phenomenal. Please splurge on the Mac N Cheese side.

Don't miss the beautiful pool area . They have food service out there, and drinks, and the kids love the twisty slide!

If you have a season pass, valet park here! Whether you buy a glass of wine , an iced tea , an appetizer , entire meal, validation is free for 5 hours. Love the Awhanee Hotel influence.

Craving Starbucks? Take the hotel entrance into California Adventure & go left towards Soarin'. You'll soon find Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe on Buena Vista Street. Enjoy! Literally a 5 min walk :)

Although I was not a guest at this hotel I can tell from just visiting it that it's an amazing hotel and I would love to stay there one day.

The 3rd floor is awesome if u need to "get away" from your room and don't want the crowd in the lobby (Like for studying or reading). There are chairs, desks, even a piano. Super cool.

The Vintner 's Table change every Friday. Try the amazing collection of starters to share! The portobello mushroom bisque is exquisite too! A tasty splurge just steps away from the park .

You get in the park an hour early. I suggest grabbing something to eat at White Waters snacks by the entrance. The waffles and French toast are awesome! As well as the pizza !

If you need to work while at Disneyland, lots of relatively quiet nooks and cubby holes, wi fi and electrical outlets ...and you don't need to check in to use.

Great room service , access to the parks , customer service and views ! I don't want to leave.

Great hotel .....but the low flow shower heads make it very cumbersome to wash your hair.....especially if you have more hair then bald.

Check out the lobby, you'll love it. If you have kids let them kick back in mini sized rocking chairs to watch some old Disney cartoons on the TV . C33

Go around the back of the pool for direct entry into Disney California adventure . Dumps you into Grizzly peak. Awesome!!!

Large lobby with plenty of seating to relax if meeting people. Overall a large hotel with a variety of rooms to choose from.

Beautiful rustic hotel . Napa Rose . Storytellers Cafe . Back door entrance to DCA.

AL is the best server ever!!! Great with wine recommendations and makes sure you never wait longer than you should. I had the veal and it was to die for!!!!

There's a short cut into Disney CA. Just walk past the diner and pool, there is an entrance with no wait.

Fantastic service and ambience I felt like I was really in a lodge at Yosemite

With young children, staying on concierge level is worth the splurge - no waits for food! And proximity to Cars Land can't be beat!

Dear Starbucks addicts, don't freak...just take a right out of the driveway & another right on Ball Rd, SBUX will be next to Chevron. ;)

"I recommend the Franziskaner Hefe-Weisses. It’s creamy and moderately thick… Napa Rose is known for its world class wine collection , so if you’re into wine , you might go that route." ~ Tom Bricker Read more

If you're a pin trader & staying here, don't forget to drop by Guest Services everyday to see what they have to offer. New pins all the time!

it is a beautiful restaurant with a great outside view , but next time I think I will sit at the counter to watch the open kitchen at work

Sit at the bar for an amazing wine pairing experience with the bartenders -- they're typically higher level sommeliers than the servers.

Make reservations for the Chef 's Counter and let him choose what you eat. Get the wine pairing , and be prepared to have one of the top culinary experiences of your life.

Beautiful hotel with easy access to the parks , but be warned that just becuase you book a king size bed does not mean you will get one. Rooms are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Read more

Ask for a room in the new wing facing the park . Great views of California Adventure . Amazing how they keep the park noise out but I can hear the guy in the next room snoring like he's in bed with me.

The lobby is a wonderful place to relax and escape the heat. The piano man completes this experience.

Gorgeous hotel , if you’re willing to spend the extra money. The high end of the three DLR hotels .

A fantastically cool, quiet place to take a break from Disney. (The lounge gas nice appetizers , too. And cheap .)

The food and the service is amazingly good... I fully recommend it
