Hi there, Laura! We are so happy you found your way to our corner of the magic here at planDisney. With your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth still a few months away, should we do a little daydreaming while we walk through your question? Consider me the Lottie to your Tiana, and let's grab some Mickey Beignets from the
Mint Julep Bar and have a seat in New Orleans Square. Luckily, we won't have to climb a mountain or cross a river to feel the magic in the air. I can already hear the sound of the Disneyland Railroad and the Mark Twain Riverboat coming into port. Ok, let's give the beignet bag a good shake to make sure each gets coated in that powdered sugar and get to the important stuff!
Just like Tiana always says, "Fairytales can come true, you gotta make them happen, it all depends on you!" ... and lucky for you, booking a club-level room at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is sure to make a lot of wishes come true! I have great news for you. Those club-level benefits and
hotel amenities begin from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart for the full length of your stay regardless of the official check-in and check-out times for the day. When it comes to storing your luggage, you'll want to drop your bags off with the Bell Services team who will warmly greet you upon arrival. Once you're settled, you can have your bags delivered to your room or you can pick them up from the Bell Services desk. Blue skies and sunshine are guaranteed with their service!
The magic starts before you even arrive at the Disneyland Resort. Take advantage of a seamless arrival and
Direct-to-Room Service by checking in online ahead of time directly in your Disneyland Mobile App. Within five days of your arrival, head to "My Hotel Reservations" and tap the "Start Check In" button. Once you've checked in, the magic is yours, and you can head straight to the parks, the pool, The Veranda club-level lounge - wherever your heart takes you! As soon as your room is ready, you'll receive a text with the room number and a link to a hotel map to help you find your way. You won't even have to dig a little deeper for that room key, you can simply use your phone to unlock the door! As a Guest of the Disneyland Resort Hotel, you can also take advantage of
Early Entry and next-day delivery of any in-park purchases. Just a few additional sugar-coated perks to add to your stay!
I can see that we've made our way through a few beignets and our time is almost up! Before we leave this lily pad, I have to tap into our good friend Tiana once more. I just love her advice "If you do your best each and every day, good things are sure to come your way." ... and that's exactly what you'll get at The Veranda! Complimentary snacks and beverages will be available to you from 6:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. daily, including special items for breakfast, afternoon tea, and early evening appetizers, beer and wine, and sweets! If you'd like to enjoy the evening's fireworks without the park hustle and bustle, head to the patio for an incredible view ... you'll even get to hum along to the music which is piped in just for the performance!
Well, Laura, I sure hope this was helpful and cleared the way to make a few extra wishes on that evening star. If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at
planDisney.
You're almost there!
Tara
