Hi Michelle! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to ask us this great question.
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is my favorite of the three
Disneyland Resort Hotels! You are welcome to walk around the hotel during your visit, but access to certain areas such as the pools at the resort are only accessible with a room key and amenities are reserved for hotel guests. You can enter the hotel using the entrance from
Disney California Adventure Park or the entrance from the
Downtown Disney District. This beautiful hotel has an incredible lobby! During my vacation last month, I noticed that you can have a seat, relax, and place an order with a Cast Member from
Hearthstone Lounge during certain hours. Be sure to look for the menus and QR codes on the coffee tables in the lobby. You can also
Check Dining Availability if you decide you want to eat at one of the
dining locations at the hotel. Some locations have a walk-up list, and you can join through the
Disneyland Mobile App. My favorite spot to dine is
GCH Craftsman Bar!
I hope you have a magical day at The Happiest Place on Earth! Please stop by
planDisney again when you're ready to plan the next visit! We would love to help!
Wishing you magic,
Lisa
