About Disney's Grand Californian Hotel

Winner of the 2003 and 2004 Theme Park Insider Awards for the world's best theme park hotel. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts architecture of Pasadena and other communities in Southern California, the main lobby of the Grand Californian also evokes the lobby of Disney's Wilderness Lodge in Orlando. -- Last edited by Robert Niles

i love this hotel; how calm it is, the atmosphere, and the secret entrance to california adventure. :D - Brandon Grayson

We just stayed here and it was really cool. The rooms were really nice. The whole hotel is really pretty. My favorite part of it was probably the special entrance to California advrenture, that is really convienent. - Chloe !

We stayed at the Grand the beginning of March 08. It was amazing. Our room looked out over Grizzly River Run. It was so peaceful to wake up in the morning and look out on a completely still California Adventure. We loved the restaurants, especially the Storyteller Cafe. It cost a bit more - but was worth every penny. We enjoyed the accessibility to Downtown Disney and both of the parks. It was quick and easy to run back to the hotel if we got soaked on a ride. We will be staying at the Grand again!! - Clementine McTavish
