Staying at this hotel was a dream come true, especially for our family trip to Disneyland. The direct access to the parks made everything so convenient, and the comfortable beds really enhanced our experience after long days of fun. However, we faced some issues with the dining options, particularly the character breakfast which was not as good as we remembered. While the overall experience was great, the check-in process could certainly be improved to make it more seamless.

The Disney Grand Californian Hotel and Spa offers incredible convenience with direct access to the parks, making it a dream for Disney fans. The rooms are comfortable but could benefit from some updates given the high price. The check-in process leaves something to be desired, but the overall ambiance and customer service shine.

This hotel is truly stunning, with a prime location offering direct access to California Adventure Park. The early entry for hotel guests was a fantastic perk that allowed us to enjoy the rides before the crowds arrived. The rooms were spacious and modern, but I wish the bathroom layout was a bit more accommodating. The only downside was the loud piano in the lobby early in the morning, which was somewhat disruptive.
