Thank you so much! That means a lot. We really enjoy making the hotel reviews. Growing and getting better with each one thanks to encouragement and feedback like yours! Cheers from Anaheim, CA!
Hey there! New subscriber :) I booked the hotel for august and I’m so excited watching some videos about it to get myself even more excited - thank you for sharing!
Hi Joshua! Thank you for subscribing! That's a great way to spoil yourself! ❤ The Grand Californian is such a beautiful hotel. I'll never forget that wonderful experience. I know you're going to love it. Thanks for watching our video 😊 -Zoe
When she teared up so did I! I totally understand that feeling. I stayed there for the first time in Sept 2021 and I was so excited! This was a great video. Thank you for sharing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed our video. Thank you so much for the love, Suharti ❤️ It's so exciting to know we are being watched in China. So cool! Big hugs from Los Angeles, CA 😊🌴🌈 -Zoe
Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment! It was an incredible experience. Can’t wait to do another Disney Resort stay soon. So glad you enjoyed our little tour :)
My wife and I just discovered your page today and we have already watched 3 of your videos. You guys are super sweet and you have really drawn me in to the Disneyland experience. Thanks!
Hi Tom, thank you so much for checking us out. Our small hiatus is about to end. We love Disney and have some great experiences coming up ❤️ I hope we bump into you guys at the park 😊 -Zoe
@@foolishportals We are going to WDW in September but we are planning a visit to Cali about a year later. That's why we joined your page! We want to learn all we can about D-Land ahead of time!
Hello! Sorry for the late reply! How exciting. We hope you had a great trip to WDW and hope your plans to visit Cali come together perfectly. We’ll keep making videos to hopefully help y’all plan! If you plan to stay at DLR we definitely recommend this hotel, although Kyle’s favorite is the Disneyland Hotel, as you know 🤣 If you’re staying off-resort, we loved The Anaheim Hotel. Stay in touch!
So I’ve watched both the Disneyland hotel Vlog and this one. Seems like DLH has better pools, maybe a larger room? Maybe better restaurants (trader sams, tangorera terrace and goofys kitchen) which hotel did you like better for the price? Thank you!
Hi Patrick! Thank you for watching our reviews! Kyle likes the DLH because of the vibe. It feels very Disney. Even though they are building a new tower, everything is pretty much open. He also loves anything tiki, so DLH checks all his boxes. For me, I love the luxury and class of the GC. Upon request, each room comes with robes and slippers, and the DLH doesn't offer that. So that is a big thing for me. I will say that the DLH has the better pools and slides, but since the pool at Paradise Pier is closed for re-imagination, all their guests are using the DLH pool, and it can get crowded. Also, the GC has balcony rooms with spectacular views of DCA. As for the restaurants, you can go to Goofy's kitchen even if you're staying at GC, and vice versa, you can dine at the GC hotel if you're staying at DLH. Keep in touch. Let us know which one you booked ❤️ -Zoe & Kyle
@@foolishportals thank you so much for the detailed response! I really appreciate the info. I’m leaning to DLH. I think my 4 year old would love all the Disney goodness but also know the dedicated DCA entrance would be huge for midday naps/snacks. Very good dilemma to have! We can’t wait. Thanks 🙏 again!
Thank you so much! Yes, we didn’t have to pay anything extra to check in early. It wasn’t guaranteed, but we went straight to registration just in case and they had a room available! It was unexpected and awesome.
We have annual passes so we made reservations to enter the park. You can purchase tickets and your hotel stay at the same time online and through the phone. Hope that helps! -Z
Hi Gregory! Thank you for watching! We purchased a standard room with a partial view. We got lucky with our room as a partial view doesn't guarantee a view of the park. Our room number was 5252. It wouldn't hurt to try and request the room number when you check in
Hi Yadira, Not a dumb question at all! The hotel charges $85 for the robe if it's not returned so you saved yourself some money by asking. However, you definitely can keep the slippers as they are complimentary. Kyle and I took ours home to remember our magical time. If you book a stay at the hotel I can promise that you won't regret it. We are seasoned travelers and nothing has compared to this. Thank you for watching our experience at The Grand Californian Hotel. -Zoe
You can walk through the Grand Californian to enter Downtown Disney for access to the Esplanade or to enter California Adventure directly from the hotel if you have a park reservation. Hope this helps!
Hello Frank! We actually did have visitors for dinner at Downtown Disney and had no problem walking them up to our room to give them a tour and a look at the view. Our friends didn’t stay, but they enjoyed coming up! Hope this helps. Cheers!
Hi, Triwizard100! On our check out day we usually leave our luggage at Bell Services and enjoy the whole day, but yes we do go home eventually on our check out day. The cool thing is your parking is good until 11:59p on your check out day (basically midnight) so you can enjoy the day and leave before midnight without being charged an additional parking fee. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Frank 😊💕 Yes, the Grand Californian was an unforgettable experience. We paid $417 for the room. After parking, taxes, and fees, it came out to $523.12
@@foolishportals what dates did you go? I'm wanting to possibly book a Disney resort hotel for my thirtieth in January and wanting it to be affordable lol
@@CarterBaby32 Hi Kora, We stayed at the Grand Californian on January 24th. I like your 30th birthday idea ❤ The best rates are at the start of the year. -Zoe
Hi Elyssa, the robes are complimentary to wear during your stay. We had to request them through the front desk. Leave the robe in the room for check out, but you are welcome to take the slippers home as a free souvenir. I hope that helps . Thank you for watching our video

What an amazing view of the scariest ride in the entire park! :-) Your Haunted Mansion footage was so spooky my cat got scared. Great video!
Lol poor kitty
This was a great tour, really got to see this experience from your eyes. Glad you enjoyed!

Staying here in April
So excited for you!!! Remember to request your robes and slippers
Loved this !!! Were you guys able to check in early for free?
Thank you so much! Yes, we didn’t have to pay anything extra to check in early. It wasn’t guaranteed, but we went straight to registration just in case and they had a room available! It was unexpected and awesome.
Hello when you bought tickets for this hotel, did you purchase park tickets at the same time?
We have annual passes so we made reservations to enter the park.
You can purchase tickets and your hotel stay at the same time online and through the phone. Hope that helps! -Z
I loved the way you edited Haunted Mansion!
Thank you, James

Are you able to keep the robe or slippers? Might me a dumb question lol. I’ve never stayed there and hoping to stay there this summer.

Can you cut through the resort? I am staying at the Westin Anaheim Resort, right at the corner, and want easy access to the esplanade.
You can walk through the Grand Californian to enter Downtown Disney for access to the Esplanade or to enter California Adventure directly from the hotel if you have a park reservation. Hope this helps!
Could you get people up to the room without a problem? I have relatives staying at other another hotel but I plan to stay at the grand Californian.
Hello Frank! We actually did have visitors for dinner at Downtown Disney and had no problem walking them up to our room to give them a tour and a look at the view. Our friends didn’t stay, but they enjoyed coming up! Hope this helps. Cheers!

Why did they get 2 beds?
They only had rooms with two queens available at the time :) We would've preferred a single bed.
Did the robes cost money?
Hi Elyssa, the robes are complimentary to wear during your stay. We had to request them through the front desk. Leave the robe in the room for check out, but you are welcome to take the slippers home as a free souvenir. I hope that helps . Thank you for watching our video
