Hello, Kathryn and welcome to
planDisney!
Your question made me smile thinking of my wonderful memories as a Guest with my family at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa a few years back. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed our stay, especially the proximity to
Disney California Adventure Park from a dedicated entrance, just for Guests of this outstanding Disney Resort Hotel and the lobby, oh my goodness the theming in the lobby and all the relaxing little nooks were just marvellous. Stepping right outside to the
Downtown Disney District had me spinning like a mad tea cup with excitement because of the variety of shopping on hand! Did you know that the
Tenaya Stone Spa recently opened at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, I hope you make some time for yourself for pampering.
Kathryn, you will be pleased to know that you can book your intended date or any other date right through until the end of the new year, isn't that spectacular? It's so simple online by signing in to your Disney account and by following the step-by-step booking process leaving no stone unturned including return airport shuttle transportation. By booking a
Disneyland Resort Hotel Vacation Package you will build a package to include your accommodations at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and your theme park admission. I hope you consider adding the
Disney Genie+ Service to your theme park admission to save time waiting in lines that offer the Lightning Lane entrance, and if you do, you will enjoy unlimited digital downloads of
Disney PhotoPass attraction photos including Magic Shots from your day.
Once booked, please ensure your vacation package is linked to your Disney account, which it should be if booked directly online through Disney. This will enable the electronic delivery of your Travel ePackage to your Disney account 4 days before your arrival containing your itinerary, theme park admission and Magical Extras voucher. As well, and of great importance, the linking of your reservation will enable you to proceed with making your
Disneyland Resort - Theme Park Reservations for each day of valid theme park admission up to 120 days before your arrival. To link, simply input your reservation confirmation number to the
My Hotel Reservation link via the
My Disneyland planning area on the top right of the main page once signed in to your Disney account.
Tips:At 60 days before your stay, you can begin making your
Disneyland Resort Dining Reservations to enjoy the most spectacular and unique dining, especially at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa with
Napa Rose to enjoy delectable California fare and an assortment of fine wines.
Kathryn, I am so excited for you and wish you all the best with your planning. Please feel free to stop by for more first-hand tips from planDisney, thank you kindly!
Best Disney Wishes!
Jacqueline
