A few of us visited the new GCH Craftsman Bar yesterday for their first soft opening day and really enjoyed ourselves there. I love the area. You can access it from the hotel walkway or from the pool, and you do not have to be a hotel guest to eat/drink there. It opens at 10am and closes at 5pm.

It's a bit pricey, but what I would expect at the Grand Californian Hotel.
 


Does anyone know if they will serve the Dole Whip with rum like they do at Tangaroa Terrace?
 
Looks great! Hopefully they will serve that food poolside. Prices don’t seem bad at all...you see worse at a regular Hilton or Marriott
 


10-5 is disappointing, especially if you’d like to enjoy a drink poolside after a day in the park.

But... if I can put my feet in the pool and sip a drink I’ll be happy. Hopefully they’ll allow that!
We were there yesterday, and the manager said that they're open 11a-10p. There is a little gate leading to the area, but anyone can go there. They have the little gate so guests don't wander in to the pool area when it's closed. White Water Snacks (new name - Craftsman Grill) will still open early in the morning - I think 6a. They'll have a cast member manning the gate while the bar and grill are open.

Not sure yet. My friend took pics of the drinks on the menu, though.

Note that their theming is wisteria, and they have wisteria plants that will eventually grow and cover the trellised roof.

Are they allowing non-resort guests in the pool area?
Yes, we were there yesterday afternoon.

The menu is a little different than what they serve poolside, but there are some similar items.
 
I’m curious how the cauliflower grilled cheese is prepared.

Salmon salad looks good. But for that price I’m not going all the way over there. If I was staying at the hotel I’d go.
 
oh no! White Water Snacks will be no more? Will there be a place to grab cereals, bagels, fruit, etc.?? That was our go to place !
 
Will Whitewater Snacks/Craftsman Grille still have the seating that is next to RedwoodCCT? Do they still have the nachos, cheeseburger, pizza's etc? Sorry, I am trying to visualize how the two areas are connected....
