Hey there Jennifer, welcome back to planDisney! How exciting that your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is coming up so soon!
I have good news, I did confirm with a Cast Member that Guests of
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa are able to use the exclusive entrance for Pixar Place Hotel Guests into
Disney California Adventure Park! I would definitely make sure you have your hotel key handy, since you will not be able to use that entrance without your Disneyland Resort Hotel Key.
However, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa also has an exclusive entrance right into Disney California Adventure Park! When I have used this entrance in the past, it's a quick way to head right into the park near the Grizzly Peak area. You'll also want to have your hotel key accessible, and this entrance is perfect for when you need an afternoon break at the hotel, or for an easy route back to your hotel room at the end of the night!
I also highly recommend
GCH Craftsman Grill as a dining option during your trip whether you need to grab a quick meal on your way to the parks, or relax for a bit inside the restaurant! We have had some great breakfast items there such as the Avocado Toast on Sourdough, and our favorite dish for lunch or dinner is the Baked Nachos, it's a must for us every trip!
I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful trip, Jennifer! If we can help answer any other questions as you plan your trip,
please come back and ask!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
