Welcome back, Lauren!
Thanks for bringing another great question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm so excited you will be staying at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. This is my favorite Disneyland Resort Hotel. Nothing beats the impressive lobby, outdoorsy setting, luxurious decor, and proximity to Disney California Adventure Park. I'm happy to inform you that there are a couple great options for "to-go" or Quick Service food right inside the hotel. Just off the lobby you can visit
Hearthstone Lounge where some baked goods and coffee are convenient if you are heading out early to the parks. You can also visit
White Water Snacks in the hotel for a selection of pre-packed to-go food as well as Quick Service meals. I sometimes like to grab a yogurt parfait if I'm in a rush, but if I have some more time I prefer to get the Baked Chilaquiles or "Hot Dog of the Month."
If you exit out of the hotel at the
Downtown Disney District, you will also find many options as you walk towards the parks. If you have the Starbucks app on your phone, you can even place a mobile order and pick it up as you walk by the Downtown Disney District location for a super quick meal. Other options for fast and easy food are Jamba Juice and La Brea Bakery Express.
I hope this helps, and I can't wait for you to take your magical vacation!
