Hi there Gina,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question! I'm happy to hear that you'll be staying at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for your upcoming visit at the start of 2025! In my opinion, this is the coziest and most relaxing hotel environment you can find when visiting the Disneyland Resort.
When my family and I have stayed here, we love coming back in the middle of a hectic day in the parks to relax and put our feet up in the lobby or spend time by the beautiful pool, which makes you feel like you're in the middle of a Redwood forest!
While breakfast is not included when booking standard stays at Disneyland Resort hotels like this one, there are plenty of options for breakfast available for purchase during your stay. On my last visit here with my family, we really enjoyed swinging by
Craftsman Bar to pick up a quick breakfast we could eat before heading into the parks. There are seating options here as well or you could grab your food to go.
If you'd like a sit-down dining option, I'd recommend looking at
Napa Rose or
Storytellers Cafe. Both options have delicious menu options but Storytellers Cafe offers Character Dining.
Thanks again for your question, Gina! I hope you have a wonderful time visiting the Happiest Place on Earth!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
