The Secret of A Magical Resort: Disney’s Grand Californian, CA

ByGil Zeimer September 22, 2006

I’ve stayed at the Disneyland Hotel decades ago when I met Walt Disney, plus another Disney resort next to it a few years ago.

But the fairest of them all is now Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, which Ava, Vagablond’s co-founder calls “the Catskills meeting the most Magical Place on Earth”.

It offers you:
• A location that’s walking distance from Disneyland Resort and the California Adventure, plus the Downtown Disney District
• A gorgeous lobby (pictured above)
• A private entrance to Disney’s California Adventure
• Rich dining experiences
• 745 well-appointed rooms
• Pools and a spa, and
• Premium accommodations with great views of the park

The Grand Californian Hotel & Spa sets the gold standard for Disney properties, combining premium amenities with unmatched park access. It’s standout choice for your Disneyland Resort visit.
