Hello there, Iain! Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like Stitch might have jumped into the website and caused a bit of mischief. Sorry about that! We’re here to round up that rascal and get your Grand Californian 'ohana adventure booked! Let's get started, because nobody gets left behind or forgotten!
There are a few different ways to access the booking page on the Disneyland website, but I’ll walk you through the method I used since it appears to be working correctly on my end. The great news is that you can book your hotel stay and purchase park tickets in the same step through this process. I’d recommend starting directly on
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa page and clicking the “Check Availability” button. Next, you’ll enter your check-in and check-out dates, as well as how many adults and children will be staying with you. After clicking the “Find Hotels” button, you’ll be taken to a page that lists availability during your visit. On the next page, you'll select your park tickets and optional upgrades, like
Park Hopper and
Lighting Lane Multi Pass. Once you complete these steps, you should be able to add your itinerary to your cart.
If, by some mischievous magic, those steps still leave you empty-handed, then it seems Stitch has pulled a fast one on us both! But don't worry—we've got a couple more tricks up our sleeves to ensure your booking adventure has a happy ending. I'd recommend calling upon the wisdom of a friendly Cast Member via
email or through the
Hotel Reservations phone line. Since you'll be calling from across the pond, remember that international calls can sometimes come with extra charges. In that case, email might be your best starting point.
Did you know your visit also coincides with the spectacular
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration?! You might even be eligible for some very
special 70th Anniversary offers, like discounts on your hotel stay and park tickets! These magical discounts should appear “automagically” in your cart as you follow the steps above, but if not, our Cast Member friends can help!
And speaking of the 70th Celebration, prepare to be dazzled! The resort will be celebrating seven decades of magic-making with both new and returning entertainment. I think I’m looking forward to the
Paint the Night Parade at Disneyland Park the most! More than a million LED lights (yes, you read that correctly!) will illuminate Main Street, U.S.A. as some beloved Disney and Pixar characters parade their way down the street to catchy tunes. And, over at Disney California Adventure Park, a brand new show,
World of Color Happiness!, will light up the night sky in Paradise Gardens Park! By now, I’ll bet you’re noticing a theme here—it’s a celebration of happiness, complete with vibrant colors, bright lights, and surprises around every corner!
I hope this helps you on your magical journey, Iain! May your booking be swift and your vacation be filled with unforgettable moments! If you have any more questions as you prepare for your trip, come visit us here at planDisney anytime!
