    Hello! We're planning a visit to Disneyland for next year, and were looking at the Grand Californian Resort. Is there monorail access at the resort?

    Hi, Jennalie, and a very warm welcome to planDisney!

    Oh boy! I'm so thrilled you have a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth in the works and am excited for all the wonder and magic you're going to experience. 

    Thank you for your great question. Currently there is not a station at the Grand Californian Hotel with access to the Disneyland Monorail. The Disneyland Monorail is considered a Disneyland Park attraction and has two stops on its 13-minute round-trip loop which includes Tomorrowland station in Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney District station on the far west side, next to Disneyland Hotel. To aboard the Disneyland Monorail, a theme park ticket, as well as a Disneyland Park reservation for that day, will be required. Hope that helps!

    I love that you're considering a stay at the most luxurious and convenient resort in all of Disneyland, Jennalie. Guests of the Grand Californian Hotel are immersed in the grand forest of Grizzly Peak and given premium access to California Adventure Park through a dedicated entrance and exit right there in the hotel lobby! During your stay, make sure to check out the GCH Craftsman Grill located poolside at the Grand Californian. It's a beautiful oasis to enjoy a delicious Poke Bowl (which is the best item on the menu, in my opinion)! And while menus are subject to change, there are always yummy items to try!

    As you continue to prepare for your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, Jennalie, please stop by and ask me another question anytime! I'd love to share more of my tips and recommendations for a truly magical time in Disneyland, like maybe more of my favorite dining locations or some strategies to make sure you hit all your top priorities. 

    See you real soon!

    Warmest wishes,
    McCayla

Hello from the Pacific Northwest! I'm McCayla, a wife and mom dreaming of adventure in the great wide somewhere, yet also completely content watching Toy Story from the couch. My love of Disneyland began as a little girl on Peter Pan's Flight and only grows with each visit. But even when I'm not physically at the Happiest Place on Earth, I truly feel that same joy when I can help others (YOU!) experience the magic of Disneyland Resort too.
