    Grand Californian

    We are staying club level now. The offerings all day (breakfast, lunch and dinner times) are very carb heavy. And if you have to eat gluten free like me, you will find very few options. The cast members have been doing their best to find things for me, but again, all very carb heavy. If you are...

    Any tips to getting through to Hotel Reservations on the phone??

    I modified a reservation twice last week. Both times I called around 1pm Eastern time. Both times I was on hold for close to an hour. I think you just need to be mentally prepared for an hour+ wait.

    Grand Californian

    Thank you for posting this phone number! I first tried 714-520-5045 and then 888-259-3277. Both numbers had an automated message that said "Due to call volume, please call back later." And then it disconnected. But I was able to stay connected and on hold using 714-520-5045. A fifty minute...

    Unpopular Opinions?

    I despise bubble wands and the endless streams of soapy bubbles they inflict on all those unfortunate enough to be in their line of fire.

    Out of State Disneyland Trip Planning Thread

    I had the same problem too. I booked our room at the Grand on my laptop, but got the blank screen when I tried to make park reservations. So I tried to do the reservations on my phone. That worked.

    First Timer Trip Report 8-19-19 to 8-22-19

    I've stayed at this hotel twice, and I really love it. Outside of the Grand and the DH it's my favorite hotel in the area. The breakfast buffet is huge!

    Gluten Free Dining at the Disneyland Resort: A Superthread

    Nice to hear that your daughter was happy with her GF plate. Wouldn't it be so much better if they served the bread warm and included butter?

    Gluten Free Dining at the Disneyland Resort: A Superthread

    Oh No! I was so hoping they would have gotten their gluten free act together by now. When I emailed Guest Services to express my extreme disappointment in the sub-standard GF dessert plate I received last March, the response I received can be paraphrased thus: "Your comments have been...

    **November 2019 check in ***

    Short trip for us: November 2-5. Just me and the H (he's not really a "Disney Husband", so I just call him "H"). We're coming for Dapper Days and staying at the Grand! (Wahoo!) I keep telling H that staying at the Grand will change his life! And he rolls his eyes at me. Clearly I have my...

    Trip Report in Process: Everybody In! The Whole Fam for Mom's Birthday

    I think bringing your own GF desserts to the WOC dessert party is a very good idea. I looked back at my posts from last March, and here is how I described the GF plate I received at the WOC dessert party - grapes and cheese, a cold and hard little loaf of bread about the size of my fist, a...

    Trip Report in Process: Everybody In! The Whole Fam for Mom's Birthday

    Following along! Your plans sound great! I remember some of your past posts where you mention eating gluten-free. Are you going to do the WOC Dessert Party with a gluten-free request? If so, would you please be sure to post about the gluten free breads and desserts they serve? Their...

    Non Disney Loving Spouse Is Ruining My Fun

    Thank you Everyone for your comments and advice! Here is how it all played out: I initially decided I would take a later flight home. But H was clearly not enthused by that. I slept on it, and in the morning decided that a couple extra hours in Disney was not worth all the stress this was...

    Non Disney Loving Spouse Is Ruining My Fun

    Half the adventure of a vacation (even a short one) is getting there. :) Sure, you're on a plane and in airports for awhile. But you're still spending time together, away from work, away from your day to day responsibilities.
