We stayed at the Disney Grand Californian for 8 nights in May 2008. I can’t say enough about how great an experience you get when you stay here and visit Disneyland/DCA. We have two children (7&9) and the rooms are just what a family needs. We requested one with bunch beds, which the kids loved (no more sharing) and the... more

We stayed here for four nights from June 21-25, 2008. We decided at the last minute to book one room at the Grand Californian rather than two rooms at a less expensive property (the Candy Cane Inn) given the Grand Californian's proximity to the parks and the fact we were travelling with a 3 and 5 year old who would... more

I do not think we have ever had a bad experience with Disney and this trip was no exception. The hotel amenities and staff were excellent! Our only disappointment was with the Room Service Manager, Jennifer. Our singing and dance company had an impromptu meeting at the hotel and someone forgot cups. Jennifer made it clear that the hotel could... more

We just got back from a fun 4 days at the Disney Grand Californian Hotel. I went with low expectations after years ago staying at the Disneyland Hotel and being very disappointed. Even my cynical non-Disney loving husband was pleasantly surprised. Expensive yes but you can't you put a price on the location. I was really glad of the special... more

We have just returned from a week at the Ritz Carlton. The hotel is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It was so lovely that it was hard to drag ourselves away from the hotel to go to the theme parks at all. In fact we didn't bother with Disney , having been before and just... more

If you are looking for large rooms and a great value, this hotel is not for you. However, if you want the convenience of staying right in Disney's California Adventure park and the luxury of a nice resort and pool area, then the GCH may suit you. This was our third annual stay at this hotel, and we feel like... more

Disney's Grand Californian has, without a doubt, the worst $400+ rooms I have ever stayed at. Of course it starts before you even check in. Your room is preassigned so very little chance of getting one of the good views overlooking Paradise Pier. Then, a resort fee is charged for 'use of the resort', a newspaper (which you don't get... more

We just returned from a 4 night stay at this wonderful hotel. We have stayed in all of the deluxe hotels at Walt Disney World, so we were expecting this hotel to be much like the Wilderness Lodge in Florida. We found this resort to be much more than we ever expected. We had two rooms, one with 2 queens... more

We were lucky enough to stumble upon a great deal to fly to LA and stay at Disney's Grand California Hotel during December, 2007. The lobby was magnificent - nice craftsman-style woodwork and furniture. There were several fireplaces that a large group of people could have stood in, and the Christmas tree was huge! Santa was around for photos several... more
