Having stayed at various disney properties in both Orlando and Paris, the most noticeable fact in Anaheim was a lack of disney magic. The majority of the staff seemed downright miserable and whilst there was some 'theming' to the property, they still seemed to miss a lot of tricks. Often there was no music at all in the lobby, just... more

Stayed at the Grand from June 14-19th. Had requested a quiet room away from the construction going on at the hotel, upper level theme park view, and we got exactly that. We were on the 5th floor with a view of Soarin Over California and Grizzly River Run. Our room was nice with a balcony which came in handy for... more

Disney's premier resort in California offers something that none of the other hotels in the area can - excellent location and a private entrance in to California Adventure. Nothing is better than leaving your room and being in line for a ride in less than 10 minutes. Of course, this convenience comes at a steep price. The exterior architecture and... more

We have wanted to stay at this property for so long, and we finally got our wish. We stayed for 3 nights and were lucky enough to get the exact room we wanted. We payed for the theme park view room, but we requested a Grizzy River Run view. At first it didn't look like we would get that exact... more

we have now returned from a two week stay at the grand californian. we arrived after a 12 hour flight and checked in very quickly. my mum and brother were in a wheelchair accessible room over looking downtown disney which they were happy with. we had booked a park/pool view room at extra cost and had and awful view on... more

The DGC Hotel is a nice place to stay. One can't beat the location as you're literally at the doorstep to both parks. The staff was friendly. The rooms were nice, we had a room with a double bed and bunk bed for the kids. Our room overlooked the porto cochere toward the other Disney properties. We were happy with... more

We were in the room when we got a 5.0 earthquake! Gladly, the hotel was fine and we felt assured this would be one of the better places to be in this situation (a little rolling feeling, swaying, a bit scary but no damage) We had a great time at the hotel overall. My only complaint is that the lobby... more

We stayed here for 4 nights in May 2009 with our 2 kids (ages 4 and 9). We had a room with a queen and bunkbeds which worked out well - no privacy for the parents but honestly, by the time we did Disney parks all day, swimming, dinner, and got back to our room around 10pm each night, we... more

We stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel at the end of April and early May. Both times were great. We flew in from Australia and stayed here 3 nights then went to Las Vegas then came back to the Grand Californian for a few more days. The location to Disneyland is one of the best parts of this hotel. The... more
