Hi there, Jodi!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question. You are going to have such an unforgettable stay at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. This is my favorite hotel at the Disneyland Resort. Nothing beats the proximity to Disney California Adventure Park as well as the amazing Craftsman-style decor. We love spotting the subtle Disney details throughout the common areas as well as in our room.
If you have booked a Disneyland Resort Vacation Package that includes park tickets, the 18+ year old Guest in your party is more than welcome to pick up their tickets before your arrival. Just make sure their name is on the reservation and they bring a valid ID. You can double check this by calling (714) 635-2300.
During your stay, you won't want to miss the fantastic dining and amenities you will have access to as a hotel Guest. We love a gourmet meal or even a visit to the lounge over in
Napa Rose. This restaurant offers craft cocktails, wine, and fresh, inventive Californian cuisine in a beautiful setting. We also love hotel-exclusive activities such as the Get Up & Go Power Walk that takes you through an empty Disney California Adventure Park before it opens to the general public. Another fun tip is to check out the Attraction Trivia challenges at the Guest Services desk in the main lobby. You can test your knowledge of classic Disneyland Resort attractions and appreciate them in a whole new way!
I hope this information was helpful. Have a magical vacation!
