    As a DVC Vaction Club member, I normally stay at the Grand Californian, but could not get rooms next April 3-6, 2026. If I stay somewhere else, can i pay and park at the Grand Californian parking lot as I normally do?

    Welcome home, Hazel! 

    Thank you for visiting us with your question today. We are so happy to welcome you to planDisney! I love getting the opportunity to chat with fellow Disney Vacation Club Members about the many benefits of membership. My family has been enjoying everything membership offers us for several years now, and it has completely changed how we vacation at Disney Destinations around the world in the best way possible! 

    It looks like you are headed to the Disneyland Resort in the spring. I bet you are already counting down the days! I see you were unable to secure your usual room type at Disney's Grand Californian Resort this time. Just a thought, have you checked for availability at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel? You may have more luck at this larger property that launched in recent years. 

    Unfortunately, parking for Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and the Downtown Disney District is not permitted at hotel parking locations. Guests with a reservation for Storytellers Cafe, Napa Rose, and Tenaya Stone Spa are eligible for limited parking at Disney's Grand Californian Resort. I know this isn't the news you were hoping to hear, Hazel, but don't forget, you will have access to convenient parking at Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Pixar Pals Parking Structure, and the Toy Story Parking Area. 

    I hope this answer to your question will help you to plan your visit to The Happiest Place on Earth in just a few months! If you have any further questions about your membership or vacation planning, please reach out to me. I'd love to help! 

    See ya real soon!
