    I am considering booking a trip to Disneyland in March icluding a room at the Grand Californian. Is there a deposit due upon booking the vacation package?

    Hey there, hi there, ho there, Mark!

    Welcome back to planDisney! The Grand Californian Hotel and Spa is an amazing place to stay. I love how it offers a dedicated entrance to Disney California Adventure Park! I’ll be happy to clarify this for you.

    When you book a Disneyland Resort vacation package, you’ll need to submit a $200 refundable deposit. From there, you’ll have time to make payments (of any amount) up until the final balance is due, which is due 30 days before you arrive!

    Bonus Tip: Consider booking a reservation at Storytellers Cafe during your stay. You can enjoy a buffet meal all while seeing some magical pals like Mickey Mouse and more! 

    Mark, I hope this information is helpful and that you’re able to book your magical vacation very soon! If you have any additional planning questions, please come see us again here at planDisney.

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
