    Hi we’re there in august and i was wondering what the times are for the disneyland hotel and Disney Grand pool cabana rentals…when dose the half day start and what a full day is please. i was looking for the most kid friendly one too. thank you

    Hi Rosabel! Welcome to planDisney. Lounging poolside is one of the most enjoyable parts of any Disneyland Resort vacation. Add in a private cabana, and you have a recipe for an extra relaxing day. I'd be happy to walk you through your options!

    Cabanas at both the Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa are available as either full-day or half-day rentals. Full-day rentals are currently offered from 9:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. If you'd prefer a shorter visit, you can choose between two half-day time slots: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Reservations can typically be made up to 60 days in advance by calling the Disneyland Hotel or Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa directly.

    As for which pool area is the most kid-friendly, I would give the edge to the Disneyland Hotel. Its pool area was designed with families in mind and features the nostalgic Monorail waterslides, a spacious splash play area for younger Guests, and the D-Ticket Pool, which is perfect for swimming and relaxing together. The atmosphere feels especially playful while still offering plenty of comfortable spaces for parents to unwind.

    Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa also offers a beautiful pool experience, with a quieter, more tranquil atmosphere nestled among towering pine trees. It's a wonderful choice if your family prefers a more relaxing setting, but for families with younger children looking for classic Disney fun, the Disneyland Hotel is hard to beat.

    Speaking of family fun, if you're visiting in August, be sure to keep an eye out for the Disney Poolside Splash Bash! This seasonal offering brings Disney music, trivia, games, and appearances by favorite Toy Story pals to the Disneyland Resort hotel pools, creating even more opportunities for family fun during your stay.

    Rosabel, I hope this helps you choose the perfect cabana for your family's visit. If any other questions come up as you continue planning your Disneyland Resort vacation, please visit us again here at planDisney. We're always happy to help!

    May your visit be filled with sunshine, splashes, and unforgettable family memories!
