Welcome back to planDisney, Jennifer. I'm so glad you've visited us and that you'll be heading to Tenaya Stone Spa soon!
I have good news -
Tenaya Stone Spa's retail boutique is available to enjoy, whether or not you're having a service there. The boutique is also where you check in for any spa treatments, so feel free to browse before or after your manicure. I went to the spa with my planDisney friends Jenna and Susan not long ago, and the experience was one I'll never forget. I also loved looking at the shop and was more than a little tempted to buy one of each item! I hope you enjoy your visit to Tenaya, Jennifer.
While you're at the Grand Californian, I cannot recommend grabbing a meal at one of the awesome restaurants there.
Storytellers Cafe is one of my all-time favorite dining locations - it has character dining and all-you-care-to-enjoy foods that are sure to delight everyone's palate. However, I also recently had lunch at
Hearthstone Lounge, and it was simply perfection. Their French Onion Soup and Short Rib Lasagna were standouts. Be sure to book a dining reservation in the
Disneyland Mobile or on the
Disneyland website before your stay!
I hope this helps, Jennifer. Please visit again if you have any other questions!
See ya real soon,
Melissa
