It seems very unlikely any more rooms with daybeds will be added. The rooms with 2 queens and a daybed are larger than the normal rooms, so it would require major renovation.Any word on them adding more daybeds to hotel this year?
We visited the GC last week as we were having dinner at Napa Rose. What an amazing experience at their chef's counter! For anyone considering dinner here, I did a review here.
Next time we are in DL I'll do some better planning and hopefully land a room at GC Villas...
I'm not positive, but I think a room key is needed to access the laundry room.can guests of the Disneyland Hotel use the Laundry Rooms at the Grand Californian?
Just had to posted that I reserved the Grand Villa from 7/12-7/15! So excited!! I have only stayed in the 2 bedroom villas and am really looking forward the the Grand Villa!
Congrats!
Hope you enjoy it! Let us know how it is!!
Hi,
can guests of the Disneyland Hotel use the Laundry Rooms at the Grand Californian?
cheers

Last month when I used them, I had to use my room key to get into the laundry room so I wouldn't think so. Are there none at the Disneyland Hotel? It was my first time doing laundry on vacation and I'm gonna do it everytime from now on and cut my packing way down
It is highly unlikely any hotel employee will authorize you to exceed the occupancy limit.I've read back through this thread, about 50 pages, and have read arguments including "Don't you dare try and jam 6 people into one of those rooms! What if there's a fire!?!?!" and "It's just one extra person. The hotel should let it slide." Is there a definitive rule on this matter? I would understand a harsh response if, say, my group were 6 22 year olds. But the 5th and 6th members of our group are 3 & 4 years old.
Hey everybody,
I'm new to the forums, and I'm planning a late summer/early fall family trip to Anaheim.
Here's the rundown of the plan. The trip was originally meant to be a late anniversary present for my two elderly parents. We three would all fly into SNA and stay for a week at the Grand Californian. I've noticed from past trips to Disneyland that my parents have required a lot of mid-day hotel breaks -- a problem when the hotel is a mile away. So, anyway, that has been the plan for the last month. Then my mother not-too-subtly suggested that we invite my sister's kids (3 of them), who would be 3,4, and 12 at the time of the trip, to tag along. The two youngest are big 'Cars' freaks, and I think Grandma would feel guilty not inviting them to tag along so soon after the Carsland opening.
So for the past week I've been pricing out GCH rooms through various websites (Disneyland.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, etc.) and I've run into a snag that actually brought me to this fine website: Anaheim won't allow more than 5 people to a hotel room, even when you're booking a room online, and our hypothetical group consists of 6 people.

I'd consider saving up for a second, adjacent hotel room, but there are two snags in regard to that: 1) Putting the kids in a separate hotel room without constant supervision is a big no-no 2) A second standard room effectively doubles the cost of this vacation, and upgrading to a suite triples it... all for a tiny little 3 year old.
So I'm here looking for advice. We do have our hearts set on the GCH. Has anyone else had similar experiences to this? How did it work out?
Perhaps you should look at renting points for a 2 bedroom villa (can sleep 9). Then you can bring your sister too... You can probably rent a villa for not much more than the cost of a standard room. Check out www.dvcrequest.com.
