The Grand Californian : Disneyland Resort Hotel

Disclosure : I was lucky enough to stay at The Grand Californian Resort & Spa for a work trip! I was not in any way obligated to share photos of my accommodations, but I wanted to share!

The Grand Californian Lobby The other week I was lucky enough to check into The Grand Californian Hotel and Spa for one short night for a work trip!  There is so much more I hope to check out the next time I go, but for now, I wanted to quickly share some photos from my stay in an ‘almost’ Wordless Wednesday.  If you are looking at visiting The Disneyland Resort in California you have no doubt noticed there are several Disney Hotels right at the Resort.  The Grand Californian is absolutely luxurious and worthy of the higher price tag.

Please enjoy a few photos I snapped………….

My lovely Grand Californian guest room….

The Resort is located with an entrance into Downtown Disney – which is SO convenient!

The lobby alone is amazing and I wish I was a better photographer – the attention to detail is awesome.  No matter what the time of year, you may want a light sweater in the lobby of this hotel. it is quite cool.

Storytellers Cafe Grand California

Storyteller’s Cafe is my pick for families – especially for breakfast!  You can meet lots of fun characters while you dine!

If you are lucky enough to get away to The Disneyland Resort for a romantic getaway or a special occasion my pick is Napa Rose………

Is that a hidden mickey in my creme brulee?  It may be an accident…… but I mean, we were at Disney, so probably not!

Oh Grand Californian, it was so lovely to meet you but I had to leave too soon!  Until we meet again!

    I have the best story about the Grand Californian! We stayed there about 8 years ago for our Easter Holiday. After our 4 day-stay, it was time to leave the following day. As is customary, the bill was slipped under our door overnight, but it included a letter offering us additional nights for $90 dollar per night!
    Imagine the kids (who had bunk beds in the room) jumping up and down when we stayed two more nights at Disneyland. It’s still one of the best memories we have of our vacations at Disney!!

    • Kate says:

      Oh Suzette that is AWESOME! We hope to stay as a family soon! I sure hope we can find a $90 a night rate – that is incredible! It is such a beautiful hotel! I wish I could have stayed longer =)
