    How do I get to GCH Craftsman Grill at 6:30 am if Downtown Disney District doesn’t open until 7am? Is there another entrance?

    Hello there, Jalana. Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!

    If you are looking to grab a quick bite at the GCH Craftsman Grill before the Downtown Disney District opens, you can access this quick service dining location using the Grand Californian Hotel's main entrance. You will walk through the hotel's lobby, which is one of my favorite places at the Disneyland Resort. Its Craftsman-style architecture is simply breathtaking! Please note that it currently opens at 6:45 AM, but you'll want to confirm this in the Disneyland Mobile App.

    Jalana, I'm not sure if you are staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels or are just visiting for the day. There is pay valet and self-parking available at the hotel; however, I do not believe that GCH Craftsman Grill validates since it does not accept dining reservations. If you are staying at Pixar Place or the Disneyland Hotel, there is a pedestrian walkway outside of the Downtown Disney District that you can utilize to get there!

    I hope this helps, Jalana. Please visit again with any other questions!

    See ya real soon,
    Melissa
