Our take
By Matt Spaulding, Founder and writer
Disney's Grand Californian has its own entrance into Disney California Adventure, and that gate is the reason to pay what this hotel costs. You walk out of the hotel and into the park. It matters most in the middle of the day, when a tired kid can be back in the room for a nap or in the pool without anyone touching a car or a shuttle. If the parks are one stop on a longer California trip, you're paying for a door you'll barely use. Disney's page gives no walking time to Disneyland Park, so look at a map if that's where most of your days will go. Mariposa is the pool with the hot tub and the cabanas, which rent for an extra charge. Redwood and Fountain are the other two. Disney's parking page puts self-parking at $45 plus tax per night per vehicle, or $135 plus tax across three nights. Valet is $75 plus tax a night. Whether a resort fee sits on top is the figure the hotel page leaves out, so read it off the booking screen. A notice on the same page says certain areas of the hotel are being refurbished. No dates, and no word on which areas. If you're booking for a particular pool or a quiet room, ask what the work touches.

Does Disney's Grand Californian charge a resort fee?
No. Disney's own rate screen prices every room as an average nightly rate before tax, with no resort or amenity fee line, when we read it on October 19 for early November dates. Parking is the add-on: $45 plus tax a night to self-park, or $75 for valet.
How much is parking at Disney's Grand Californian?
Self-parking is $45 plus tax per night per vehicle and valet is $75 plus tax. Oversized vehicles pay $50 plus tax a night. Disney publishes nothing on in-and-out, so ask if you plan to drive out and back.
Can you walk into the park from Disney's Grand Californian?
Yes, into Disney California Adventure. The hotel has its own entrance to that park. Disney's page doesn't say how far Disneyland Park is on foot.
Is Disney's Grand Californian under renovation?
Partly. A notice on Disney's page says certain areas of the hotel are undergoing refurbishment, with no dates and no list of what's affected. The hotel is open under the same name, so ask when you book whether the work touches your room or the pools.
What pools does Disney's Grand Californian have?
Three. Mariposa Pool has a hot tub and private cabanas you can rent for an extra charge, and the other two are Redwood Pool and Fountain Pool.
Is Disney's Grand Californian worth it for a last-minute stay?
If you'll spend your days in California Adventure, yes, because walking straight from the hotel into the park is what you're paying for. If the parks are only part of the trip, a cheaper hotel nearby probably makes more sense.
