Hello there Angie! Thanks for bringing another great question to planDisney.
We love staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel for the close proximity to the theme parks. We have had great stays at the
Pixar Place Hotel, it's hard not to smile as soon as you walk into the lobby and see all of the beautiful Pixar-inspired artwork and decor!
The good news is that you are able to use the entrance into Disney California Adventure Park from
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. In order to be able to use this entrance, you must be staying at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels, and have a valid theme park ticket and theme park reservation on the same date. If you are going to use the entrance first thing in the morning, you most likely will need to verify your hotel stay with a valid Disneyland Resort Hotel key or showing your valid hotel reservation in the
Disneyland app.
There is a great place to grab a quick breakfast on your way into the parks if you're heading to Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. We love to stop at
GCH Craftsman Grill for all of their delicious breakfast options such as the breakfast burrito or avocado toast. It's also the perfect spot to grab your morning beverage whether that's coffee or a soft drink!
I hope this information is helpful for your trip next year, Angie! It's never too early to start planning your Disney trip, so don't hesitate to
come back to planDisney and ask us any other questions.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
