After securing Saratoga Springs as our SAP haven, I stumbled upon an intriguing term: Aulani Subsidized Contracts. These are rare finds where Disney itself partially subsidizes your annual dues, making them a cost-effective choice for members. Fortune favored me in the winter of 2019 when I...

A decade before our first purchase, in the scorching summer of 2009 at Disneyland, my wife and I stumbled upon an oasis - the DVC cart in the hub. With a napping one-year-old in the stroller, we were enticed by the offer of air conditioning and free ice cream. Throw in free fast passes, and the...

Hi all, I'm new here but joined DVC with VGC in 2021. I would like to plan a Disneyland vacation for Christmas 2024, and stay in one of the two grand villas. I've had no problem getting this room at other times, but I figure with Christmas time there will probably be a lot of demand. Is this a...

Hello. I’m wondering if it’s OK to get a delivery from doordash at the Disney Grand CA hotel when I’m NOT a guest at the hotel? I would be leaving CA Adventure to enter the hotel and meet the driver at the front loop of the hotel, then I would take the take out, and reenter the park through the...

Has anyone received special offers for future hotel bookings, following having their 2020 reservation cancelled due to Covid closures? I had a reservation at the Grand Californian in May 2020, which obviously got cancelled when the hotel temporarily closed. I recall at the time seeing that...

I had been searching for the longest time for a 3 bedroom suite at the Grand Californian. Then randomly I decided to take one last peak at the Disneyland website after already looking all day and there was an unexpected opening for my exact dates and for the exact room! You can imagine my...

I was hoping to rent a DVC at the Grand Californian. Sadly, there’s none available for my dates. So I booked a 3 bedroom suite. I didn’t know it was smaller and doesn’t come with a kitchen. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was wondering for those who has stayed a 3 bedroom suite, if you found it spacious enough? (I have...

Long story short- I didn’t know you if you want to rent a DVC room you have to book 11 months out and my family reunion is in June! I have searched countless hrs for any available DVC villas! But there’s nothing! So now my only option is to look into becoming a member. :/ Unfortunately you can’t...

Get yourself a nice deal with this confirmed reservation at the Grand Cali. It's for a 1 bedroom, which can sleep up to 5 people, for the weekend of 18-20 march 2022. Cost is $1536, which comes down to only $12/point.

11 months ago, I got up and booked at 5am my 50th B-Day room a 3 Bedroom Suite at the California Grand. Yay! Happy 50th B-day to me!!!! There are ONLY 2- three bedroom suites. If you know anything about the Grand Ca, you know that getting these rooms even when you are a direct owner is VERY...

Hello! I know this has probably been discussed over and over and again on these boards, but I am not very familiar with Disneyland and need some help. I have only been once in 2018 and stayed at the Homewood Suites, and am typically a Disney World person. However, I am looking to return to...

Grand Californian reservations have been paused for a week. Member services are not doing anything. They said just wait until it is unpaused to make a reservation. Personally, I need to alter a reservation and I’m coming up on my 11 month window. Their response, “it’s and even playing field when...

Anyone else getting error message when trying to make reservations? Specifically for Feb 2022?

I was wondering how much success people had had booking a studio at Grand Californian as a non-owner ie 7 months? Also, as we plan on doing DL May 2022 how do you think all the banked points floating around will impact availability? Lastly, does anyone have any tips to increase chance of...

We have booked a VGC Grand Villa for May 2021. I have seen views from the park side but never the pool side. Does anyone have pics looking out from the Grand Villa pool side? I have heard it has a good view of DL and the fireworks.

Edited: 11/7/13 Well lately I've been seeing a lot of questions being asked about the Grand Californian, and since I will be staying there in March, I thought it would be helpful to make an information super thread about it. So if anyone has any specs on the building, room related...
