We stayed three nights at the Grand Californian with our two boys - one is 3 years old, the other is 5 months old. Overall, we were impressed by the hotel; gorgeous lobby, quiet mezzanine areas, great pool area with kiddie pool, kiddie slide, and a big slide. Room was good, and well appointed; two sinks in bathroom, cozy balcony... more

We just got back from 5 days at Disneyland. We took our little girl for her 5th birthday and our 6 month old son. We stayed at the Disneyland Grand California Hotel and loved it!! It is a great hotel for families. It is quiet, Very clean , an adult atmosphere but very kid friendly. There is a baby swimming... more

We were use to the amazing experience at Disney World hotels in Florida and this was not at all at the same level. Additionally, the easy location of surrounding (and CHEAPER) off-property hotels really made this expense unnecessary with little benefit. Couldn't believe the Resort Charge added on at the end for the "FREE PARKING"?!? Additionally we have also been... more

We have annual passes, so we come to Disneyland pretty often. It can be quite tiring to tramp around the parks as adults, so we really don't like to come unless we can stay at a hotel close to the parks. The best by far is the Grand Californian. The staff is consistently helpful, the location couldn't be better, and... more

Let me just say that when you compare this to a Disney World (DW) resort the Grand Californian is seriously lacking. It was hard for my family and me to not compare this trip to DW when we have been there so many times. First off parking at this resort is sub-par unless you pay $17/day for valet you have... more

I have stayed at the Grand on 2 seperate occasions, one being my honeymoon. My husband's first impression was that of mine when I first stayed as a guest... "this is it for $400 a night?". But as a guest and Disney enthusiast you soon realize you are not paying for the room, but the location and direct entrance into... more

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
