    Is it still accurate that guests of the Grand Californian can access the pool after 11am on check out on the last day of reservation? Thank you.

    Hi, Stacey!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney. You are going to love staying at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! With its gorgeous craftsman‑style design and unbeatable location, it’s truly such a treat to stay there.

    The last time I stayed there, I was able to enjoy the pool even after checking out. Once, my room key stopped working, but a Cast Member at the front desk fixed it in no time. Spending a final day relaxing by the pool before heading back to the real world is the perfect way to wrap up a Disneyland vacation! If you need to change clothes afterward, the lobby restroom works great…and don’t forget the sunscreen!

    I hope you also get to enjoy some of the hotel’s incredible dining options! Storytellers Cafe is my favorite Character Dining experience because the food is delicious, and the character interactions are always fun! You can make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance on the Disneyland website or app. Also, GCH Craftsman Grill is my go‑to lunch spot…I could happily rotate between the Poke Bowl and the Avocado Panzanella every day!

    Stacey, enjoy your stay at the Grand Californian. We hope to see you real soon!

    Magic Happens!
