More Magic Tips
Before you settle in, here are a few magic tips to help you get the most out of every magical moment.
- Guests of Disney’s Grand Californian get exclusive direct access into Disney California Adventure Park. You can go from lobby to Grizzly Peak in minutes, which makes midday breaks (that I highly recommend for families with littles) super easy.
- Be sure to check out the seasonal treat cart in the lobby for yummies on your way into or out of the parks.
- With changes in verbiage, be aware that partial views don’t automatically mean theme park, often it’s Downtown Disney. If you’re willing to wait a bit and there’s availability, the front desk will get you to a theme park view room (although this is NOT guaranteed).
- You can charge dining and shopping purchases from the theme parks, the Disney resort hotels and select Downtown Disney merchants to your room if you provide a valid credit card during online or front desk check-in.
- Plan with a knowledgeable travel agent…like us! We’d be honored to help you make magic for your family and friends at no cost to you.
We'd love to help you book and plan a little magic, memories and mayhem at the Happiest Place on Earth!
