Hello there, Marciano, and welcome to
planDisney!
I’m excited for your upcoming meal at
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! It sounds like you may be planning to experience Character Dining at
Storytellers Cafe. I’m happy to report that you will be able to use the exclusive hotel entrance connecting
Disney California Adventure Park and the Grand Californian before and after your meal at Storytellers Cafe. The entrance to the Grand Californian is located just across from
Grizzly River Run, and is exclusive to hotel Guests; however, since you have a reservation to dine at Storytellers Cafe, you’ll be allowed to use it. Simply pass through the turnstiles for your dining reservation, then turn right when you get to the pathway. Make your next left, and Storytellers Cafe will be on your right-hand side, just across from the
Pools at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. When you’re done, you can head back toward the special entrance into the theme park. You’ll pass through security again, and then show your tickets at the turnstiles to re-enter the theme park.
If you happen to be visiting during the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort (which run through January 8, 2023), I highly recommend heading into the Great Hall lobby of the hotel – it’s decorated beautifully for the holidays! Take a seat in a rocking chair near the huge fireplace, or check out Acorns Gifts & Goods for some unique merchandise.
Wishing you a delicious meal and a magical getaway!
