Hi there, Laurel!
Welcome back to planDisney. It’s a pleasure to help you with your Disneyland Resort planning.
Guests who drive to
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for dining reservations at
Storytellers Cafe will have up to three hours of complimentary
parking, either self-parking or valet. Additional charges will apply after three hours. So you may plan your arrival time according to the approximate amount of time you estimate you will need for your dining experience. If you are walking to the Grand Californian Hotel, you may enter via the entrance from the
Downtown Disney District. Or if you happen to be visiting
Disney California Adventure Park you may enter the hotel from the entrance across from
Grizzly River Run. Those two entrances are open during regular hours for Downtown Disney District and Disney California Adventure Park respectively.
Tony’s Tip: While you are visiting Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa during
Halloween Time this year, be sure to check out the cool
Oogie Boogie display in the lobby. It’s hundreds of pounds of seasonal fun in a confectionary cauldron!
Have a wonderful time, Laurel!
