Howdy there, Stephen!
From all of us at planDisney, we wish you a warm welcome! We're so happy that you've brought us your question. I'm really excited for you and your party to experience the
Disneyland Hotel and
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! Are you the primary planner for the group? That's such a fun role but it does carry a lot of responsibility. I totally understand your desire to pass on reservation details easily to your group.
You sound like a veteran of the Walt Disney World Resort and My Disney Experience App. Over at the Disneyland Resort, there is no Friends and Family List where you can share your plans easily with your group. I'm afraid to report that they will have to manually enter hotel reservations, but it's actually quite easy and shouldn't take too long at all. This can be done either at the
Disneyland website (everyone has their own
Disneyland account, right?) or within the
Disneyland Mobile App. On the web, hover over "My Disneyland" and select "My Hotel Reservations." In the App, press the "☰" Features Menu and select "My Hotel Reservation." In either case, your group will need the reservation number, the last name of the individual who made the reservation, and the arrival date.
Will you be resort hopping across both Resorts? You can't go wrong with either one and I love both of them for very different reasons. I'm a huge Disneyland history buff, so I love how the
Disneyland Hotel pays homage to Disneyland Park's past (did you know that Disney didn't originally own the Disneyland Hotel when it was first built?). You'll love
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa if you enjoy luxurious lobbies and beautiful Craftsman style architecture. Plus, you can't beat a private entrance into Disney California Adventure!
Stephen, I hope that response was helpful for you and that you are able to assist your party in adding their hotel reservations to their plans. If you need any further advice or tips, please reach out to us again anytime!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
