Hello, Irene! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am delighted to hear that you will soon be staying at
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa! This hotel is newly refurbished so all the rooms are wonderfully refreshed and now equipped with Keurig coffee makers and USB ports to charge your electronics. Check-in time is at 3:00 p.m. and check-out time is 11:00 a.m. every day. However, if you arrive before 3:00 p.m., you can still check-in at the front desk and store your luggage with Bell Services until your room is ready. You may even have the option of receiving a text when your room is available. The same luggage storage service is available on your check out date if you plan to enjoy the parks that day before heading home.
You are certainly going to love staying so close to the parks! There is even an exclusive entrance for Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa Guests into Disney California Adventure Park. I find this entrance/exit particularly convenient when it’s time to head back to the room for a rest in the afternoon. You will also be just steps away from Disneyland Park when you use the entrance from the hotel to the
Downtown Disney District. Just turn right and you’ll be at the park gates in under five minutes!
I hope this helps. Have a fantastic visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
