We leave for California tomorrow and check int the Grand Californian on Saturday! I can't believe its here!!!
We leave tomorrow! So excited! We are trying to focus on all of the positives of everything that will be open as the list of closures can be quite overwhelming to look at sometimes.
Sounds great! We're looking to possibly book a suite as well so that sounds just about perfect. Thanks for the pics!Checked into the DLH premium view room category yesterday and have an amazing room , think we definitely got some pixie dust ! We were granted our request of adventure tower in an odd numbered room. I was pretty sure this meant DTD side which I wanted anyway but didn't request because I didn't want to be too specific. When we got to our room it was a double door that required our room key - oh that's interesting I thought. Then when we opened that double door there were two rooms right next to each other ( but separate numbered) - It dawned on me this must be used a 2 bedroom suite because the outer double doors are secured by room key only , yet two separate doors for separate rooms but could be used as a "hallway". When the bellman came up I asked him out of curiosity and he confirmed what I thought. It appears no one needed the 2 bedroom suite so both rooms were sold separate. The room is a corner room and very large! One king bed ( which is perfect for us) , closet space is deceptively large and has a chair (that could be used as a pullout if needed) , desk , and another sitting chair as well. Then there is the view..let's just say I am loving it. It's "only" the 8th floor but it's perfect. You can definitely hear the music from DTD so light sleepers may not enjoy it but I love it. You can see DTD , Matterhorn , Splash ,BTMRR ( top of it) to the left , and DCA/Screamin , ToT , Mickey's Fun wheel to the right. Out of the corner window I can see the big sorcerer hat at the entrance of DLH. I'm officially spoiled by this room but grateful for the awesomeness. Typing this from the room , looking out to see the Disneyland attractions is such an awesome feeling. Crowds have been pretty low -RSR was 5 minute single rider this morning , RSR fastpass were still available for 8-9pm yesterday around 1:30pm and we got a IASW boat all to ourselves last night it was so slow. It's been amazing. Pics below : Downtown Disney view from room DCA view to right from room View of Disneyland/Matterhorn to left (zoomed in) Wide view of Matterhorn from room
