Hello there Caroline! We're so glad you're bringing another fantastic question to planDisney!
How exciting that you have a stay at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa coming up this summer! The entire hotel and property are absolutely stunning, I truly could sit in the lobby all day and enjoy the atmosphere and the beautiful piano music.
A
poolside cabana sounds like the perfect way to spend a sunny day in July, I had the pleasure of speaking with a lovely Cast Member at the hotel, and he gave me some great information. You can make a reservation for a cabana up to 60 days in advance, and you can
call the hotel directly, and then select option "5." He also said that since they are Cast Members of the hotel, the Guest Services line is actually available 24 hours a day. You could call them starting at midnight PT on the day you'd like to book, or you could just call first thing in the morning.
There are so many wonderful amenities that come with the cabana such as a television, plenty of seating, and a complimentary fruit platter, but you will also have a cabana server on hand to take your food and beverage order. If you decide to dine after your cabana experience, I highly recommend
GCH Craftsman Bar which is located poolside, or
GCH Craftsman Grill which is also located at the hotel. The food is fantastic, we always enjoy the Baked Nachos and a Peanut Butter Blondie to take back to our room!
I'm sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust that you're able to book your cabana, Caroline! Please don't hesitate to
reach out to me if I can help with any other questions.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
