Hi there, Nancy!
A stay at
Disney's Grand Californian is nothing short of magical. I just returned from a few nights there myself and haven't stopped dreaming about my next stay! It has everything and more from the soaring Craftsman-style lobby to cozy nooks (think rocking chairs and fireplaces!) to delicious dining locations and a poolside oasis. Every detail is warm, welcoming, and convenient, especially with the dedicated entrance to California Adventure pretty much in your backyard. You are going to love it!
With your Club-Level stay, you will be sprinkled with an extra layer of pixie-dust...and access to The Veranda lounge. As you guessed, The Veranda hosts a wide range of beverages and snacks throughout the day, and specifically:
- 6:30 AM - 11:00 AM: Continental Breakfast
- 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Afternoon Tea
- 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Wine and Cheese Reception
- 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Cookies and Desserts
You'll want to take note of the
Entertainment Schedule, as The Veranda offers a spectacular view of the Disneyland fireworks on select nights. Weather permitting, at this time of year, you will get to enjoy the
Halloween Screams seasonal entertainment on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Monday through Thursday, Halloween Screams performs with projections on the castle, but no fireworks.
When you check in, I recommend asking about the
resort activities, particularly for Club Level. They will have the most up-to-date information for your stay. For those in your party with a sweet tooth, you can participate in the complimentary Halloween Trick or Treat Trail on select days that winds through all three of the Disneyland Resort Hotels!
Nancy, I hope this has been helpful in your planning! If you have any more questions or would like to chat more, we are always here for you at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
