    We are planning a family DL trip in April. I have a group of 9 (6 adults, 2 children 1 infant) total and we are looking to stay at the Grand Californian. I am unable to find rooms, is this because of my party size? Do I have to go through DVC rental?

    Hey There, Skyler!

    Welcome to planDisney.  How exciting that your family is planning a Disneyland Resort vacation soon!  My kids are SO EXCITED to check out the Avengers Campus at Disney's California Adventure Park and try the all-new WEB SLINGERS: A Spider Adventure attraction.  Wrangling those Spider-Bots looks like a blast –– be sure to check it out during your visit!

    With so many exciting things happening at Disneyland Resort this spring, availability at The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa can be challenging to find, especially for arrivals in the next 90 days.  If you've been searching for a larger Villa for your party, you might look to see if two Deluxe Studios or 1-Bedroom Villas are available during those dates –– both of these options would accommodate the size of your party (your infant won't count against the occupancy limit) and you can request rooms that are close together once you arrive at the Resort.  If you're a Disney Vacation Club Member, you could also give Member Services a call to see if the Resort has rooms available for Members interested in booking a discounted cash reservation.   Finally, if your dates are flexible, you may also want to consider checking alternate dates a little later in the year –– it's possible that this will help you find more availability for a specific room type.

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Skyler.  Please don't hesitate to visit us again if you think of more questions as you plan your upcoming Disneyland Resort visit –– we're always here to help!

    Have a Magical Day,
    Amy
