Hey there, Michael! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. Oh boy, you’re staying at one of my favorite hotels on the entire planet. Great choice!
Guess what, Michael – you can check in even before you arrive, using the pre-arrival check in feature within the
Disneyland mobile app. Then, once you arrive at the hotel, even if it’s before 3:00 p.m., stop by the front desk and pick up your key, or inquire about the mobile key option in the app. You can absolutely use the park entrance from the hotel even before 3:00 p.m.! The special park entrance is a huge perk of staying at
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and you should enjoy it to the fullest.
While you’re at the hotel, can I convince you to stop by my very favorite restaurant in all of
Disneyland Resort?
GCH Craftsman Bar is right next to the pool and has amazing food and refreshing cocktails. The Prickly Pear Rose and Double-baked Nachos are a welcome treat anytime I visit!
I hope you’re planning to enjoy
World of Color at Disney California Adventure Park – your timing is great as it just returned last week!
Wishing you many magical moments, Michael! Adventure is out there.
