Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa
Craftsman-style luxury with a private gate into Disney California Adventure
Orlando · Anaheim · Hawaii
Monorail resorts, park-gate hotels, and value stays — compared side by side.
Two Destinations
From the Magic Kingdom monorail loop to the fully walkable Disneyland Resort — plan your stay by destination.
Two Resorts, Six Parks
Four theme parks and two water parks in Orlando. Two theme parks — fully walkable from every hotel — in Anaheim. Both resorts run on a paid Lightning Lane system for skipping the standby line on the newest headliner attractions.
Where you stay determines how early you can book them, and how far you'll walk to get there.

A great Disney trip is as much about logistics as it is about the parks.
Character Dining
Topolino's Terrace and Cinderella's Royal Table book out within hours of the 60-day Advance Dining Reservation window opening. Storytellers Cafe in Anaheim is a more relaxed alternative.
