Good day, Holly!
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for bringing your question our way!
Dinner at
Storytellers Cafe sounds like the perfect way to break up your day at “The Happiest Place on Earth!” You are more than welcome to use the Grand Gate entrance into Disney California Adventure Park without being a registered guest of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. I recently stayed at Disney’s Paradise Pier Resort and I almost exclusively used that entrance when attending Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party! Please note that a valid
admission ticket for Disney California Adventure Park is required to enter. Also, you will be required to go through security before entering the theme park again. There is a security checkpoint inside the hotel just before the theme park turnstiles.
Your trip to Disney California Adventure Park could not come at a better time!
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is in full swing! I love the characters in costume, all the seasonal decor of course Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party! Please keep in mind that if your visit falls on the day of a party, you’ll be unable to enter Disney California Adventure Park after 6:00 p.m. unless you have a ticket to this special sold-out event.
I hope this helps! Please return to planDisney with more questions!
