Greetings, Brianna, and thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I’m so excited for your Thanksgiving adventures at the Happiest Place on Earth! You’re going to love celebrating the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort.
I’m happy to report that getting to
Storytellers Cafe from
Disney California Adventure Park is actually very convenient, since the theme park has a private entrance to
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The entrance to the Grand Californian is located just across from
Grizzly River Run, and is exclusive to hotel Guests; however, since you have a reservation to dine at Storyteller’s Cafe, you’ll be allowed to use it. Simply pass through the turnstiles for your noon reservation, then turn right when you get to the pathway. Make your next left, and Storytellers Cafe will be on your right-hand side, just across from the
Pools at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
After your delicious Thanksgiving feast, be sure to check out the lobby of the Grand Californian… it’s beautifully decorated for the holiday season. Don’t miss the gigantic gingerbread house, too!
Last but not least, don’t forget to stop by and see
Santa Claus, either in the lobby of the Grand Californian, or inside Disney California Adventure Park. The backdrop at
Santa’s Holiday Visit at Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is my favorite spot for a family photo -- it’s simply magical!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving visit to the Disneyland Resort, Brianna!
