Hi Bryce,
Thanks for visiting planDisney! I’m so excited that you’ve added Club Level access to your stay at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels. I’ve had the privilege of experiencing The Veranda at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and the former E-Ticket Lounge at the Disneyland Hotel. Both were memorable and magical experiences!
One of the great perks of Club Level access is the complimentary food served throughout the day. I especially loved taking a midday break in the lounge with my little one. She got to snack and watch Bluey, while I recharged (both literally and figuratively!).
From my experience, a continental breakfast is served in the morning, consisting of pastries, cereal, and fruit. During the day, you’ll find light snacks such as chips, fruit, sodas, and juices. In the evening, hot appetizers are set out by the Cast Members, followed by a dessert bar later at night. Beer and wine are available throughout the day, and in the evenings, there’s often a stationed bartender available to serve specialty drinks.
Here are the lounge hours as of now:
* The Veranda (Grand Californian) and the High-Key Club (Disneyland Hotel): 6:30 AM – 10:00 PM
* The Creator’s Club (Pixar Place Hotel): 6:30 AM – 8:00 PM
While chicken nuggets aren’t guaranteed, I’m confident there will be options your little ones will enjoy. Just keep in mind the lounge offers appetizers and snacks, not full meals. If you're looking for more hearty options like chicken strips, I recommend:
*
Small Bytes at Pixar Place Hotel
*
Tangaroa Terrace at the Disneyland Hotel
*
GCH Craftsman Grill at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa
And don’t forget, one of the best parts of Club Level access is the fireworks viewing! While you won’t be able to see them from The Creator’s Club, you can head down to the third-floor pool deck, which offers a great view of the Disneyland fireworks. All three hotels broadcast the accompanying music and dialogue, so you can still enjoy the full experience even if you’re not in the park. This will feel even more magical since your visit takes place during the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort.
I hope this information helps, Bryce! If you have any other questions or need help planning, feel free to reach out to me or one of my fellow panelists. We’d be happy to share more tips to make your visit extra magical.
Happy planning!
